From the Publisher
Good Credit Is One's Most Valuable Asset. In a country where nearly half of what is purchased and 90 percent of all business expenses involve credit, good credit is no longer an option -- it is a necessity. Without a good credit rating people will not only be charged higher interest rates, but they may pay more or be denied major purchases, employment opportunities, apartments, and insurance. The Rising Star Foundation has decided to aid the entire country with credit education. The general benefits in taking control of your credit are the ability to get credit approvals on mortgages, car loans or various forms of credit lines. Some of the not-so-apparent benefits would be the money saved in interest payments and low-interest credit card offers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for taking control of your finances and your life,
By
This review is from: Everything You Wanted To Know About Credit But Were Too Ashamed To Ask: Tools, Tips and Hidden Secrets to Fixing Bad Credit, Building and Maintaining AAA Credit (Paperback)
This book is excellent because it is at once comprehensive and easy to understand. (I'm really surprised that a search of Amazon revealed no other recently published books on this subject.) It really arms the average person with all of the information they need to understand the credit system, with tools and advice enabling him or her to manage and improve their credit. This book does not offer pie-in-the-sky credit repair schemes or tricks. It provides you with a clear understanding of credit in a straight-forward easy-to-follow Q&A format. It also supplies sample letters to help people to communicate effectively with creditors, and review the laws protecting people from being harrassed by them. This book should be required reading for everyone from the age of 13 and up. It's a great example of the kind of book that we should have in schools as part of a desperately needed financial literacy curriculum. Whether you have a credit score of less than 400 or more than 800 (I'm in the low 700s myself, and climbing), you must read this book.
