Just like you, dear reader, I am trying to sort through the three ring circus of credit books to find reliable information about improving my credit score. I want you to take a close look at the reviews for this book. Do you notice anything? "Ah yeah, everyone gave the book 5 stars." you might answer. Correct. But look closer.

Look at the dates the entries were made.

Most of them were entered on the same day.
Interesting, isn't it? Perhaps someone logged on under different accounts. Or maybe 4 people all gave the book 5 stars on October 25, 2004. Hmmm....

Look closer and you will see that none of the reviewers have reviewed other books.

And the author is an attorney.

Seems fishy to me.

If you need to repair your credit, don't look here. The book if 300 pages, but only 25 pages really pertain to fixing your credit. The rest of the book is telling of different court cases and a copy of the Fair Credit Report that spans 125 pages of useless info. Please don't waste your time or money.... This was terrible. This jim shapiro should be ashamed of himself for actually charging for this.

Please don't waste your time. This book is written like a poor college exam paper- HUGE type TRIPLE spaced.

It is written this way because the author has nothing to say- except to sell you on calling him for more help.

An internet search will give you more help fixing your credit. AVOID!!

This is a poor book. As soon as you read something like "instant credit repair" you should immediately begin looking elsewhere.

I will be honest with you, credit repair is neither instant (it takes time), nor easy. It is very difficult to do, especially with the bogus information given in this book.

The author gives the popular, _urban legend_ information about how to reapir your credit by disputing with Credit Reporting Agencies, Collection Agencies, and Original Creditors.

But to be honest, after I had severely damaged my credit back in '00, I tried these methods contained in this book ... to little avail. In some instances, it hurt my credit and made things more difficult. The collection agencies and credit reporting agencies know all these tricks ... every novice in the work bought one of these books and tried in on them.

The approach by all these authors is highly ineffective and in many cases, will merely alert the collection agencies and credit reporting agencies what you are up to ... and that you don't know what you are doing.

Like I mentioned in my last review, a way is needed to get leverage (like with a Wrench) over the CRAs, CAs, and OCs to get your credit cleaned up. Once I learned how to get leverage, I then was able to clean my credit ... and it was still difficult. What can that way be?, you ask.

None of the positive reviewers of this book have ever posted any other reviews, I'm thinking these 5 stars reviews are not legitimate. Check for yourself.

I read this book and it answered a lot of my questions. It was very clear, and easy to understand. I plan on following the instructions in this book to make sure that there are no mistakes on my credit report, and if so, I now know how to fix them. I chose this book because I saw that it was written by a lawyer. I think it is a great tool for everyone to use.

I ordered this book sometime ago and follwed the easy steps to better my credit, my credit score has risen and several bad marks have already been removed from my credit report. It is wonderful to finally get credit cards with no down payment required. It works, IT REALLY DOES. Thanks for all your help. It is nice to know you can do this on your own without having to pay someone.

I'm a law student who decided that it was finally time to fix my credit. I bought this book, followed the instructions and am thrilled to say that my credit is now good. Unbelievable book... highly reccomended.

This book is an excellent tool for anyone who needs credit repair. Instant Credit Repair outlines how credit scores are determined, and how to easily and legally contest bad credit scores with the credit bureaus. The book includes fantastic, pre-written form letters that you can copy and and personalize, and mail out. The book also brings light to little know legal loop holes that can be used to repair anyone's credit. I highly recommend this book!

This book was excellent. I used the information in it and it actually worked. I liked the fact that it was so SIMPLE to read and understand. The form letters really were easy to use and did the job. Even comes with an easy 100% full money back guarantee. Under these circumstances, really can't beat it! Overall, I'm very glad I bought the book and have already lent it out to a "friend in need". Nothing else to say but 5 out of 5!
