Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good credit repair
Comment: I send all my customers who don't qualify for a car loan. I have seen some amazing results from these guys in a short amount of time. They are affordable to the kind of customers who would need credit repair in the first place, they charge less than $500 and will get results. Just a heads up from a Sales Manager of a New Car dealership.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A demystifying guide to a crucial personal finance issue
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Basic, but great for newbies
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: basic
Comment: After reading other credit report books, this book seemed quite basic with a lot of common knowledge information.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good basic overview
Comment: 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.
