 A demystifying guide to a crucial personal finance issue March 18, 2008
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.
 basic December 18, 2007
After reading other credit report books, this book seemed quite basic with a lot of common knowledge information.
Good basic overview October 25, 2007
Gives a good basic overview of credit scores. However, I was hoping to find the answer to my particular problem in this book, and the author just brushed over it. I have a good credit score (760), but too many open credit cards. The author just says that there is nothing you can do about this because closing the accounts would have a negative affect on your credit score. But what if I close one account every 6 months or year? I was really hoping for more feedback than just stating that I'm stuck with the open accounts.
Highly recommend this book to everyone October 18, 2007
Whether you have bad credit or good, understanding the process of how credit scores are tallied, what affects the credit scoring, good and bad, and how it affects you will be one of the most important educational tool you'll need to take control of your financial status. It gives you the ins and outs of how scoring is done, what affects the scoring, how it affect you, how you can improve your score, how it can save you money, potentially affects whether you get a job at certain firms. It also explains how to clean up and/or correct erroneous information; it talks about identity theft and more. This book is for anyone who needs to improve their scores or if you have good credit, how to maintain good to excellent credit, regardless of age.
