Credit Repair 7th edition

I found this book to be very informative and helpfull. I have used it has a guide in helping repair my own credit. I recommend it to many.

This book is not getting enough Credit!!!

This book was so helpful, I just can't uderstand the bad reviews! Thanks to Credit Repair I've gone from being up to my ears in debt to having near perfect credit! Of course this kind of result isn't going to happen over night, any one who tells you otherwise is lying or doing something illegal. THERE ARE NO LEGAL QUICK FIXES!!! I've tried many different methods to improve my credit but following the advice in this book is the only one that worked for me. It even contains a CD-ROM with pre-made forms and letters that help to make the process as easy and painless as possible. Credit Repair was worth every cent!

Helped Me Too

I used this book and cd, in 1 day my credit score went up after I disputed several items

This book showed me how!!! Now I have A1 credit!!!!

I was in the middle of a credit disaster. I was in serious debt, and my credit was a mess. I had at least five R9 credit write-offs with all the major credit bureaus. This book empowered me to save my credit, and get out of debt. It even has pre-typed letters to send to creditors and credit bureaus. Which I used a lot.You will find concrete advice, that really works, in this book. It tells you how, and how not to go about fixing your credit. It will show you how and why the quick-fix-it books don't work. How "File Segregation" is a border-line illegal tactic, that is unsafe and doesn't work. It simply and clearly teaches you what does work, and how to put your new found knowledge of the credit laws, and your rights as a consumer to work for you.You will not be disapointed with this book. The only people that will not like this book are the people that are looking for quick-fix tactics that are illegal or questionable at best, and I am not one. I overcome my credit and debt problems the right way, thanks to the "Credit Repair " book, and you will too!!!!!
