Too Basic,
By
This review is from: Money Troubles: Legal Strategies to Cope With Your Debts (Money Troubles, 6th ed) (Paperback)
This book is very basic and gives advice about how to manage money. However the one mistake the book makes is that it assumes that collection agencies and/or creditors are legitimate and offers no recourse to how to dispute charges from less scrupulous companies and agencies. The text for dealing with credit reporting bureaus is very basic. There are more precise texts to tell how to clean up your credit report (naturally after you have closed the accounts).

Absolutely the best!,
By Gerri Detweiler "host, Talk Credit Radio" (Gulf Coast, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Money Troubles: Legal Strategies to Cope With Your Debts (Solve Your Money Troubles) (Paperback)
This book has to be the most comprehensive and most helpful book for people who are having credit and money problems. It's easy to read (like all the Nolo books I've read) and the information is detailed and excellent. The state-by-state charts of current laws are really useful. I can't recommend it highly enough -- and I've recommended it to a lot of people.
