 Credit Scores January 3, 2009
Most people have absolutely no idea of how credit
scores are derived or that they can be challenged.
"Rapid Re-scoring Services" will assist you in
revising your credit score to take into account
erroneous or out-of-date information which is adverse.
The author advises us to pay down debt quickly and
reduce credit limits to raise the credit score.
There is a "National Consumer Advocate(s)" which
helps with legal advice for chronic credit problems.
They can be reached at " 202-452-1989. Sometimes,
local newspapers have reporting debts knowledgeable
on credit in their geographic reporting area.
Overall, the work has very valuable advice which
could help most members of the public. Good strategies
are advanced to deal with creditors and their representatives.
A novice should not work on his/her own because there
is a plethora of knowledge in the community at large.
Use it or waste countless hours banging your ahead against
the wall.

 Good credit repair July 16, 2008

I send all my customers who don't qualify for a car loan. I have seen some amazing results from these guys in a short amount of time. They are affordable to the kind of customers who would need credit repair in the first place, they charge less than $500 and will get results. Just a heads up from a Sales Manager of a New Car dealership.

You literally can't afford to ignore your credit record. Every negative mark or mistake on your credit history can cost you big bucks: Over the course of a lifetime, a person with merely average credit will pay thousands more for a mortgage, car loan or credit cards than one with good credit. However, if you don't know the difference between FICO and FICA, can't understand why you have a 23.5% interest rate on your charge card, and were shocked when your car insurance payments went up even though you weren't in an accident, don't despair. Liz Pulliam Weston explains it all to you. Her book is brimming with accessible, vital information, and getAbstract believes that it will save you money, whether you're just beginning to learn about personal credit or you're an experienced, savvy consumer. And for that she deserves a lot of credit.
 Basic, but great for newbies February 8, 2008
I think this book has good information for those who are just learning about their credit scores and why they're so important. It's easy to read and understand.
Like several other's, I already have a good score and was hoping to find some suggestions on how to improve/tweek my score even higher. I was dissappointed not to find anything on that topic.
All in all, it will be very helpful for beginners.

After reading other credit report books, this book seemed quite basic with a lot of common knowledge information.
