This review is from: We The People's Guide to Bankruptcy : A Do-It-Yourself Plan for Getting Out of Debt (Paperback)

after I purchased the book, I tried to download the free documents and they did not come up. I then called the home office and was told that the book was not relevant in the stat at I lived in. If there was some kind of disclaimer on your site ,i would have saved my money and tried something different

This review is from: We The People's Guide to Bankruptcy : A Do-It-Yourself Plan for Getting Out of Debt (Paperback)

Do not buy this or any other book written by Ira Distenfield or his bird-brain wife. Ira Distenfield is a con man, a thief, and a liar who has made a very comfortable living by using sham corporations to protect his assets from creditors, cheating the IRS, breaking laws pertaining to unauthorized practice of law, and engaging in other fraudulent activity. This is written by a man who brings American companies to their knees by lying to them in sales agreements, writing fake promissory notes, and selling fictitious franchises. Do a few google searches yourself if you don't believe me. NOBODY should be spending a dime to support this con man, his wife, and their crooked lifestyle. The only place Ira Distenfield belongs is in a federal prison.
