    5.0 out of 5 stars What you need to know to live within the system.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2005

    What can I say more than has already been said? If you only read one book about your credit, this should be it. Whether you are planning to buy a home, buy a car or start a business or declare bankruptcy in the next year, this book is a must-read to get you started thinking responsibly about your credit.

    I would also check into some of the more reliable Websites and forums on the subject.

    As a national lending manager for a well-known company, this book, along with the opportunity to compare actual credit reports from thousands of real cases, has given me the insight needed to manage my own credit better and start a new business in 2006.

    Whether you think it's fair or not, we are a part of several systems in life. The credit system is what it is. This book will teach you to make the most of it.

    A wise man once said (Oh, I hope I don't butcher this too badly): "The interesting thing about interest is: Those who understand it earn it, and those who don't, pay it." This book will help you to begin to understand.

    The book was organized and put forth the ideas and information I needed. I would rate this book higher if it was more specific and had more examples. The price was low and the information was good. However if someone is not that financially savvy they may need more information.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wondefully concise book on your financial grade score
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    Liz Pullman Weston has written a wonderfully concise and easy to understand book on "Your Credit Score", a poorly understood system used to calculate our financial GPA. She uses her expert paragraph and writing skills to give us an easy to comprehend, information filled book with good examples and follow-up reference material where needed. She has taken a topic and material that has been kept in the dark for years and made it understandable and manageable for the average individual. She not only defines and explains the "Credit Score", but also illustrates what can be done to improve it, no matter what your present score is. This is an easy to read, concise book that will benefit anybody at all interested in their financial health. Five Stars all the way!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Bad info - look to other books for real help.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    This book only restates what the creedit industry wants you to know. It does NOT give you the truth about many aspects of the credit industry that you need to know.

    I am not a lawyer, but I have won cases against the three credit reporting agencies. They paid me over $7,000, and it only required $100 of fees on my part. To do this I needed GOOD information -- which I did not get from this book.

    The author Liz Pulliam Weston did not do any hard-nosed investigation to write this book. She has taken the credit industry PR, which is NOT an unbiased source.

    Most other books start with what Weston provides, and then gives you the other story. What people really need to know about your credit score, how it can be harmed, and how you can get the reporting agancies to fix errors.

    With all due respect, please do not buy this book. Look further. There are BETTER books. I suggest you look at the ones written by Privacy Times (a great unbiased book) or any book on credit written by a laywer (there are many on Amazon).

    3.0 out of 5 stars A bit weak
    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    While I do think that Ms. Pulliam Weston knows her stuff, I don't think she covered the things I need to know in enough depth, and some of my most burning questinos were not addressed at all.

    She speaks mainly to people who have somewhat stable finances and are capable of following her suggestions. What do you do if you need to REALLY repair a VERY bad score? The scores she considers to be "bad" are in the mid 500s or above. She assumes that you probably want to tweak your credit a little and have a higher credit rating already, for the most part. She only briefly addresses the concerns of those of us who really have credit problems.

    I'm giving this book a 3 for those reasons.
