The Credit Repair Kit (Credit Repair Kit)

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: I dont recommend this book. If you are currently hasseling with the big 3 credit bureaus, this book will inform you only of your rights. It doesnt tell you how to utilize them..I recommend Quick and Legal Credit Repair 4th Edition by Robin Leonard. I have used her previous version and I have gotten results!

Summary: Info all in one place -- very educational
Review: I found this book to be very useful when I was preparing to buy my first house. It explains everything about credit reporting and I picked up a lot of valuable (and interesting) tips (sprinkled liberally throughout the book are boxes containing "Hot Tip"s). Good examples of sample credit reports help you understand how to read yours closely. Sure, a lot of this information can be found free by searching the internet, but it's handy to have it all in one place, for browsing and study.

Summary: Worth the Investment
Review: 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!

Summary: Worth Buying
Review: This book helped me understand my credit record and my federal credit record rights and how to correct problems in it. It was really helpful to me after I had experienced some money troubles. I have loaned it to some friends and they benefited from it too. The author, who is a bankruptcy attorney knows what he is talking about.

Summary: Good Book If............
Review: This is a good book if you do not know much about credit, credit reports, The big 3 and how they effect your life.
However, I bought this book for credit repair and there about 20 pages on how to repair credit. For me the book could have been smaller.
If, on the other hand, you have never seen your credit report, don't know much about the big 3, don't know how credit works or how to "divorce-proof" your credit, then this is the book for you.

Summary: Pretty good book as far as letters, but times have changed.
Review: Very complete as far as the approach to the "classic method" of credit repair but leaves out important methods like debt validation and disputing information on line. - Kristy Welsh, author of "Good Credit is Sexy".
