The book told me how to get my credit report and fix it. Theres a lot of good ideas about how to save money and do a budget. I didn't know I could negotiate with creditors. This was a good buy.

I'm the author and wanted to let you know that if you're interested in this book, you may want to buy the newly updated and expanded third edition, which has been retitled The Complete Credit Repair Kit, and includes a CD and new information.

As an expert on credit and debt myself, I think this book covers the topic pretty thoroughly. I'm glad to see another book that plainly spells out that there are no easy fixes for debt and credit problems and guides the readers through it - Kristy Welsh, author of "Good Credit is Sexy".

As the author of Hidden Credit Repair Secrets, I found the following areas of this book to be helpful to consumers with challenged credit: dealing with wage assignments with credit card companies, dealing with car payments when they get behind, disputing with creditors and who to contact, when to obtain a discharge of a judgment when it's paid, when to sue a creditor, what to do when you fall behind on your mortgage, handling credit card debt, when to get a lawyer, when you can get credit after bankruptcy, and if you are denied credit, how to ask for a re-evaluation. Overall I give the book four stars.

Very superficial information - you can do better just by doing an online search and reading that up. Save your money for a better book.
