 A surprisingly good review of a difficult subject July 3, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you think that this book is about repairing your own adverse credit history only, you will be pleasantly surprised. This is probably the most comprehensive book on credit scores I have come across in recent years, that covers the full subject in an extremely informative, yet compact, and easy-reading 290 pages. Credit scores reflect your financial behavior - whether you borrow sensibly or not and whether you have a plan for using the money to your best advantage. It is a game - how to establish your "reputation" as someone who manages his personal or company's cash flow, which in turn makes it easy for him to borrow more at lower interest rates.
Jamaine Burrell takes you all the way step-by-step: from understanding the basics of credit reports and scores, the models used in scoring (e.g. FICO), a 45-page chapter packed with advice on how to repair your credit and what to do if you have hit the lowest point. The last chapter on how to maintain a good credit history concludes this compact, well-written book that will be on my reference shelf for a long time. Even for the credit professional, this book is a delightful compendium for advising those with a credit problem. With the rise in bankruptcies, this book should be recommended early in people's careers for responsible handling of one's financial affairs. I wish I had bought it for my son's thirteenth birthday - long before his irresponsible spending sprees reflected on his credit report.
A to Z of Credit Repair July 3, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is an A to Z on everything about credit. It is jam-packed full of tips, statistics and definitions that is sure to help even the most knowledgeable readers. It starts with the basics and dissects the elements of your credit report and educates you on the credit scoring (I didn't know there was more than one score). The author tells you how to get copies of your credit report and score and even provides statistics so you know how you rate among others.
This book delves into everything that affects your credit; not just the obvious loans and credit cards but things I never thought about. It covers bad credit, its consequences, and how to deal with debt collectors. The focus of the book is repairing bad credit which it does in detail. The author gives valuable advice on consumer counseling services, debt management plans and bankruptcy. Not only is the technical information covered but there are also useful tips on keeping down expenses and setting financial goals. An entire chapter is dedicated to maintaining good credit as well as a chapter on identity theft.
Burrell's writing is very thorough but it can get wordy and too technical in some places. With that said though, the subject matter is complex and everything is covered in detail. This book is not only for those who want to repair their credit but for anyone who wants to know the ins and outs of credit.
