2.0 out of 5 stars For Beginners only, August 21, 2006
By 
Rod A. Britten (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Credit Hell : How to Dig Out of Debt (Paperback)
This is basically a rehash of the CCCS party line - absolutely NOTHING new or original in here. NOTHING about debt negotiation - reducing the principal balance, the money actually owed, not just payments or interest rates. Easy to read, a fine primer for someone who knows nothing about this stuff and is in debt trouble for the first time, but useless to someone who is fighting for his financial life against debt collection lawyers.

Awesome!!! This is one of the most helpful and informative books I've ever written. I truly was beginning to believe that my debt was unmanageable. This author really provides great advice, based on hands-on experience, for dealing with credit issues. Easy reading. Thank goodness someone finally has explained all the pitfalls of credit usage in understandable terms. This is definitely must reading. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
