5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Investment, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

I have worked in a bank for 2 yrs so I am well aware of what your credit history can do to your life. I had found several errors on my report. This book has sample letters for you to send in order to get information corrected. It also states the laws so you know your legal rights. I have been disputing a bill for over a year prior to reading this book and once I started using the proceedures in this book they responded immediately. It takes some time to get the ball rolling so after I reviewed the book from the library I purchased my personal copy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, June 1, 2001

By A Customer

This book contains information that you can get free in the internet. It outlines your rights for you, gives information about the credit bureau but that's about it. Most of the book does not even directly address credit repair but acquiring credit and keeping good credit--these are of course helpful but not if your immediate concern is credit repair. The only saving grace this book has is its discussion about credit repair companies but then again this information is also on the web. If you have a few hours and would like to save money go on the internet for free resources before buying this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for anyone with credit trouble!, September 17, 1998

By	(Heather Stobaugh) [e-mail] (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews

The Credit Repair Kit helped me understand the information in my credit report and told me how to clear up several errors I found in it, so they would not jeopardize an important loan I was about to apply for. I have loaned the book to several friends and family members whose money troubles had damaged their credit histories and who wanted to get new credit. All of them found its step-by-step credit rebuilding advice really helpful. I recommend The Credit Repair Kit to anyone who wants to understand what his or her credit report says and anyone who is recovering from money troubles and wants new credit in the future!
