Great readability. Great content. Overpriced.
I've read over twenty different books about credit repair, several of them right here on Amazon. Many of those books, including this one, are quite good. The only reason I have decided to rate this book 3 stars instead of four is the price. For reasons I'll note down below, I think that this title is overpriced for the credit repair category.Almost all of the books that fall into the “credit repair” category here on Amazon provide essentially the same information, which is usually very general and easy to find online for free by searching Google. The TOC's of many of these books are similar to this:1. What is a CRA (Credit Bureau) - their names, what they do, their mailing addresses2. What is a Credit Score - what a FICO score is, how scores are calculated, how scores are used3. Where to get your free credit report - annualcreditreport.com4. How to read your credit report - what each section is, what information is on it, who is reporting the information to the credit bureaus5. How to file a complaint with a Consumer Protection Agency - where to go if your disputes with the CRA's are unsuccessfulThe above information comes directly from the CRA's themselves and from Federal Consumer Protection Laws which are available online. The reason all of these books contain this same information is because the process for filing disputes is easily learned online. Because this information is so readily available for free from other sources (and cheaper from many other Amazon choices) the only real way to base an opinion on this book is to qualify it based upon its readability and value, as its content is essentially the same as that of many other providers.Having said that, I can say that the information contained in this book is laid out in an easy to understand, concise fashion that most readers will be able to easily digest. The author is very thorough and covers subjects with just enough information to inform readers without overwhelming them with unnecessary details or overly complicating the information. There also is no “legal jargon” or “legalese” that I have seen in some of the other books, making this book easy to process for those with no previous introduction to the subjects this book covers.This book begins in a similar manner to other credit repair books. A short introduction where the author describes his or her background in the financial planning business (for over 18 years), as well as experience as a mortgage broker. During this time it is was in the author's interest to ensure that prospective clients would have a high enough credit score to purchase his or her products, so a leap into the world of self-directed learning began, and the author became an expert at repairing (or building, or rebuilding) her potential clients' credit scores. The introduction is followed by several familiar chapters. “The Credit Bureaus”, “What's in Your Credit Report”, “What is a FICO Score”, “How to Order a Free Credit Report”, and other similarly titled chapters comprise the first half of this book. In this first half the information in this book is exactly the same as what can be found via a simple internet search. I believe that this means the content of this section is equal to other available choices, however I feel that the way the information is organized and presented in the book can save time over doing independent research.The meat and potatoes of this book comes in the chapter “How to Remove ALL Negative Items from Your Report”. The book goes into detail about how to file a dispute with the credit bureau and then request what is known as a method of verification request. In a nutshell, if the credit bureau's don't follow procedures within a certain time-frame (typically 30 days), you have the right to have the information removed from your credit reports, whether it is accurate or not.I did notice that throughout the book some of the writing is choppy or incomplete, however overall the book is very easy to read and understand.The book then goes into a description of debt validation, a process when you are dealing directly with collection agencies and want to force them to comply with the law. This is one of the more important sections of the book, and I think that the way this section is written and presented will be great information for consumers to be able to act on.There is a bonus section at the end entitled “10 Mistakes to Avoid While Repairing Your Credit”. This section goes over ten things to make sure you do when sending dispute letters. Some of the mistakes to avoid include sending your letters via regular (vs certified) mail, not keeping copies of all documents you send and receive, and communicating via electronic means, such as email or chats. All communication should be kept with certified letters to ensure you keep an accurate record of your communications and to preserve some of the rights your forfeit when you file a dispute online.Overall, I think this is by far one of the best books on Amazon regarding credit repair. It is thorough, contains great information, and is easy to read. If you can part with the almost ten bucks to purchase it, or if you see it on sale, I highly recommend you purchase a copy. I am rating the book 3 stars simply because I think the same information can be found cheaper via many other sources, and therefore I have a hard time justifying the high price of this book compared to others in the Amazon Credit Repair Category.Whatever choice you decide to make or book you decide to buy, remember to dedicate yourself to taking action and following through. It can take a long time to fix your credit, so get started right now so you can be ready for the future.Massive action always results in massive results.K.G.
