ABC'S OF GETTINGOUT OF DEBT

IM STILL READING THE BOOK AND ITS GOT GREAT INSIGHT AND COMMON SENSE THAT WE ALL FORGET ABOUT .IRECIEVED THE BOOK QUICKLY ALSO

Excellent Resource

This is one of the best books on Debt and how to turn it around to work to your advantage. There are several strategies for reducing and consolidating debt, as well as dealing with creditors and credit reporting agencies. A must read for anyone interested in turning bad debt into good debt!

An Excellent Consumer Resource

This book does a great job of covering several areas of debt that all consumers will find helpful. It is written in an easy to understand language, yet rich with detail and a variety areas covered. The chapter on debt collections touched on the topic of statute of limitations, which is very important to many consumers, including me. I found that two other books that I read on consumer debt did not deal at all with this important topic. I thank Garrett Sutton (and contributor Gerri Detweiler) for a very valuable book.

Great Consumer Credit/Debt Resource!

The ABC's of Getting Out of Debt:Trade Your Bad Debt for Good Debt and Your Bad Credit for Good Credit really stands out among the many credit and debt related books available to consumers for many reasons. For starters, the book covers the topic of credit and debt in a very thorough and objective manner. Such critical, but often overlooked, topics as the health effects of debt are addressed. In addition, the book provides very simple and practical steps to help consumers that are struggling with credit and/or debt problems. While the book is geared toward consumers that have credit or debt problems, all consumers can benefit greatly from the legal expertise of the author and from the expertise of Gerri Detweiler, who contributed to the book. For this reason, I strongly recommend that every consumer reads this book. - Curtis Arnold, Founder of CardRatings.com

An excellent overview of the credit system

I actually have the audio version of the book and found it to be both broad and in-depth. The author dispels many of the credit myths, and examines exactly how credit is established, rated, and how it can be used in both good and bad ways. He spends a lot of time reviewing the subject of "credit repair" explaining how scammers (especially on the internet)operate. He focuses on what you can do legally to improve your credit. I've read most books on credit and debt management and found this to be a welcome addition to my bookshelf.
