1 Star This book is pathetic!
This book is pathetic! It is the absolute worst way to waste your money!

I got about a third of the way through this book. It is mostly fill to consume the pages so that there is a few pages of blah blah blah.

Don’t waste your money on this pathetic book. But worse, don’t waste your time. Time is more valuable spending on something else.

I cannot imagine why anyone would give this book a positive rating. The fact that someone does give this book a positive rating reduces my confidence in any other positive rating on Amazon.

5 Stars Learn All About Credit
Steve Bucci has written a must read book about Credit. He does it in a clear helpful manner. I believe that this book could be used for students learning all about the world of Credit.

Having been a Credit Manager at Princeton I found that young people had no concept of what credit is all about. These young people had to learn the subject of Credit the hard way. But had they been in a course where Credit Repair Kit was the textbook, they would have learned all the levels of credit and therefore not suffered the consequences of Bad Credit.

I salute you Steve Bucci for providing the book that will help all folks on the long journey of obtaining good credit.

4 Stars Easy to understand !!
Who says you have to spend [...] and go to a credit repair service. This book is a GREAT resource for people wanting to have a better understanding of “how” the credit system is designed and how you can help yourself if you just apply the time. Another GREAT book about credit repair can be found at www.BestCreditLife.com.

5 Stars Excellent resource for credit improvement.
This was a wonderful book full of lots of details on how credit works. There are lots of tips on how to improve one’s credit and a good discussion of budgeting, identity theft, and dealing with collectors.

I’d recommend this to anyone who needs help with their finances.

5 Stars Easy to read
This books flows very easily for the credit novice. I recommend it to anyone looking to understand how your financial decisions will eventually catch up to you…

50 Ways to Protect Your Identity and Your Credit Everything You Need to Know About Identity Theft Credit Cards Credit Repair and Credit Reports

The world of credit is fraught with peril. First, there’s the enormous and growing risk of identity theft, which victimized nearly 10 million Americans in 2003 alone. But the quieter risks are just as real: inaccurate credit reports that drive up your interest rates or prevent you from getting loans, fine print in credit agreements that can cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, ‘credit repair’ services that only make matters worse. In 25 Ways to Protect Your Identity and Your Credit, consumer finance expert and nationally syndicated radio host Steve Weisman tells you exactly what to watch out for, and how to keep credit disasters from happening to you. Writing in plain English, Weisman reveals how criminals gain access to your credit, bank, or brokerage accounts, open new accounts and take out loans in your name, and how to use the law, technology, and common sense to protect yourself. You’ll learn how to recognize ‘phishing’ scams and dishonest credit counselors, how to understand and eliminate the hidden costs of credit, and much more. Weisman’s checklists tell you what to do right now, before you’re victimized. And if you’ve already been attacked, Weisman presents step-by-step techniques, form letters, and affidavits you can use to help restore your credit — and your good name.

4 Stars Good reasonable information
Level headed approach to handle a problem that could be desaterous.

The book is easy to read and follow the steps for protection from and recovery of damaged credit.

5 Stars A Home Security System
This is not the feel good book of the summer, it almost scares the pants off of you given the many different ways faceless criminals can rudely interrupt your life with identity theft. This book details out many of the identity theft scams that are prevalent today. It shows you, maybe in a way that is a touch over the top, just how vulnerable you are. On the positive side it also gives you the tools to fight back and the steps you can take to protect yourself. It also instructs you on what you can do if you become an identity theft victim. The book details out how the world of credit operates and your rights and responsibilities.

The current world we live in enables us to be discriminated against in the credit world because of our age, gender or marital status. The privacy of our financial information may be compromised and is so widely disseminated that it is making it more and more vulnerable to identity theft all the time. That is why this book is important, it gives the reader some tools to help us remain safe or at least less vulnerable. Overall the author gives the reader a number of useful and well described tips for how to keep as safe as possible and how to fix problems if they come up. It is a bit on the dramatic side, but if you are a victim of this type of crime then the descriptions are probably right on the mark.
