Customer Reviews

Knock out the crap, straight advice!

This book was excellent with helping me realize common traps in a consumer driven world. Advice presented was straight forward and easy to understand. The examples used are relateable and can be applied to anyone's situation. Finally, a debt book for anyone that cuts straight to the point!

Common Sense Approach to credit repair

This is straight talking book from one of the leaders of the credit counseling industry without the trite, "Make more, spend less" approach that too many people seem to throw around these days. In fact, buying this book would be your first lesson in smart money moves; spend a little on this book instead of spending a lot on a bankruptcy lawyer. Reading this book is a lot easier work than struggling through the quagmire of bunkruptcy ads that you receive with a google or Yahoo search.
