Customer Reviews

Info all in one place -- very educational

I found this book to be very useful when I was preparing to buy my first house. It explains everything about credit reporting and I picked up a lot of valuable (and interesting) tips (sprinkled liberally throughout the book are boxes containing "Hot Tip"s). Good examples of sample credit reports help you understand how to read yours closely. Sure, a lot of this information can be found free by searching the internet, but it's handy to have it all in one place, for browsing and study.

Worth Buying

This book helped me understand my credit record and my federal credit record rights and how to correct problems in it. It was really helpful to me after I had experienced some money troubles. I have loaned it to some friends and they benefited from it too. The author, who is a bankruptcy attorney knows what he is talking about.

Worth the Investment

I have worked in a bank for 2 yrs so I am well aware of what your credit history can do to your life. I had found several errors on my report. This book has sample letters for you to send in order to get information corrected. It also states the laws so you know your legal rights. I have been disputing a bill for over a year prior to reading this book and once I started using the proceedures in this book they responded immediately. It takes some time to get the ball rolling so after I reviewed the book from the library I purchased my personal copy.

Extraordinarily helpful book

Wow, did state-citizen@pcmagic.net and I read the same book? The Credit Repair Kit I read was of extraordinary help to me in understanding how to order and read my credit report and how to deal with several problems I found in my report. I also loaned the book to a close friend who followed its step-by-step advice after her bankrupcty so she could get credit again.I recommend it to every consumer who cares about building and maintaining a solid credit record.

Excellent resource for anyone with credit trouble!

The Credit Repair Kit helped me understand the information in my credit report and told me how to clear up several errors I found in it, so they would not jeopardize an important loan I was about to apply for. I have loaned the book to several friends and family members whose money troubles had damaged their credit histories and who wanted to get new credit. All of them found its step-by-step credit rebuilding advice really helpful. I recommend The Credit Repair Kit to anyone who wants to understand what his or her credit report says and anyone who is recovering from money troubles and wants new credit in the future!
