Must Have For Stopping Foreclosure,
By Franklin P. (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Surviving Financial Disasters: Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, Eviction, Auto Repossession, Excessive Debts and Much More (Paperback)
There are three great books on the market today and I say don't shop around any more. The two best bankruptcy books on the market have been written by women. I purchased Peggy Palm's book first and found it very informative and insightful. I'm attempting to the stop foreclosure of my home. I then purchased Tiffany Love's book, surviving financial disasters, to get the bankruptcy forms on CD Rom and then learned that she too filed for bankruptcy and included her legal pleadings. If you want to stop foreclosure, get Ms. Love's book for sure as it is "hands on", but I find myself frequently referring back to the information in Peggy's to gain an additional perceptive. Money Troubles is another great book that provides wonderful information and exceeds the scope of Peggy's book, because it covers everything inside and out of bankruptcy, like Tiffany's book. Which some people I think may find too technical, but if you're doing battle like I am with creditors the information is right on target. All three will cost you less than $100 far less than an attorney's consultation fee. My verdict: Peggy's book for the legal advice, Tiffany's book for insight and roadmap, Money Trouble for everything else even after bankruptcy. The others are crap!

This review is from: Surviving Financial Disasters: Bankruptcy, Foreclosure, Eviction, Auto Repossession, Excessive Debts and Much More (Paperback)
Main reason for giving this book a good rating is that "she has been there". It did not provide me with the advice/guidance I was seeking but did explore the bankruptcy process in a "hands on" manner. While this is an option for me, it is not one that I prefer to take. I owe people/companies money and I would like to pay them, at least a fair share of it.
Due to disabling illness I was suddenly without income. After exhausting savings, investments, etc. I had no income and borrowed from "Peter" to pay "Paul". I don't have budgeting or excessive spending problems. Needed experienced advice about dealing with a "Credit Counselor" and negotiating with creditors. While this book briefly covers those areas, I found no useful information. Now, with a small disability income I could afford to pay something toward these debts, but how and how much? If you are buried under debt and are considering filing bankruptcy I recommend this book. If you are looking for alternative ways to get out from under, keep looking.

Johnahtan Marshall October 30, 2004,
Very Easy To Read! Even for us Dummies. I flipped through several books along this topic and by far this was easiest to read. Because the author actually experienced bankruptcy, it's written from the perspective of a person in financial distress. I take my hat off to her for including the forms she filed in bankruptcy court. I also found the titles amusing such as 'I'm Being Stalked By The Repo Man'. This book will get you out of tough financial times, and you wont feel like it's as bad as what it feels.
