Summary: Author Response to Negotations with Lenders To Avoid BK
Review: I appreciate all the responses from reviewers and readers. Having "survived" difficult financial challenges it's important to me that you don't feel alone. Those who are in a difficult way financially can effectively negotiate with lenders without having to file for bankruptcy. Depending on how much you owe to creditors and who they are (mortgage lender, credit card company, etc) the tactics vary.
Before I filed for bankruptcy; I informed the lenders of the pending filing and offered to settle and close accounts, all of the ones I contacted agreed. I sincerely care about my readers financial dilemmas and should you have any questions please contact me at the web site listed in the book. Best wishes, Tiffany Love

Summary: Informative
Review: In SURVIVING FINANCIAL DISASTERS, Tiffany R. Love seems to cover all of the major areas of financial upheaval that may wreak havoc on one's life. From bankruptcy to foreclosure to auto repossessions to evictions, this book is complete, clear and informative. Ms. Love delves into many topics, the most complete area is the bankruptcy section. Speaking from her personal experiences, Ms. Love provides us with the 411 regarding the most common types of bankruptcy. Bankruptcy. . .we've all heard about it but what is it really and how does one learn about the process? This book does a wonderful job of explaining the two types of bankruptcy - Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 and the differences between the two. Also, it explores such interesting topics as whether you can declare bankruptcy and keep your property. Foreclosures are another financial disaster that is highlighted in the book. Ms. Love urges her readers to avoid rushing into a definitive decision that may cause an avalanche of other financial grief to rain down on them. Stressing that setting objectives is paramount and planning does not require cash, Ms. Love clearly sheds light on an otherwise dark situation. For anyone who has fallen down on their luck and is seeking some common sense and guidance, then you may want to consider SURVIVING FINANCIAL DISASTERS for your financial repertoire. Some sections of the book such as bankruptcy, foreclosures and auto repossessions are fairly extensive. Whereas some areas of the book, such as eviction is well-presented but not as broadly covered.

Summary: This is the one
Review: Johnahtan Marshall October 30, 2004,
Very Easy To Read! Even for us Dummies.
I flipped through several books along this topic and by far this was easiest to read. Because the author actually experienced bankruptcy, it's written from the perspective of a person in financial distress. I take my hat off to her for including the forms she filed in bankruptcy court. I also found the titles amusing such as 'I'm Being Stalked By The Repo Man'. This book will get you out of tough financial times, and you wont feel like it's as bad as what it feels.

Summary: She has been there
Review: Main reason for giving this book a good rating is that "she has been there". It did not provide me with the advice/guidance I was seeking but did explore the bankruptcy process in a "hands on" manner. While this is an option for me, it is not one that I prefer to take. I owe people/companies money and I would like to pay them, at least a fair share of it.
Due to disabling illness I was suddenly without income. After exhausting savings, investments, etc. I had no income and borrowed from "Peter" to pay "Paul". I don't have budgeting or excessive spending problems. Needed experienced advice about dealing with a "Credit Counselor" and negotiating with creditors. While this book briefly covers those areas, I found no useful information. Now, with a small disability income I could afford to pay something toward these debts, but how and how much?
If you are buried under debt and are considering filing bankruptcy I recommend this book. If you are looking for alternative ways to get out from under, keep looking.

Summary: Every Home Should Have This Book
Review: My story is interesting as to how I came about this book. First, this book has more information inside than what the title suggests. You will get your moneies worth and more out of this book. From buying/selling property to reducing mortgage payments to how to stop credit card companies and lenders in their tracks. I saw the author on election day in New York. Although I attended another lecture, I had the opportunity to meet her during the break. She is absolutely lovely and charming. What a perfect name Love. A young woman with no money and in financial straits begged the organizers to for Surviving Financial Disasters. Once they made financial arrangements Ms. Love walked over to the young woman, handed her a copy of the book and signed it. The young lady jumped up and down. She literally cried. I was so impressed that I purchased a copy of this book and WOW! This young woman is certainly taking over our hearts and the world.

Summary: Must Have For Stopping Foreclosure
Review: There are three great books on the market today and I say don't shop around any more. The two best bankruptcy books on the market have been written by women. I purchased Peggy Palm's book first and found it very informative and insightful. I'm attempting to the stop foreclosure of my home. I then purchased Tiffany Love's book, surviving financial disasters, to get the bankruptcy forms on CD Rom and then learned that she too filed for bankruptcy and included her legal pleadings. If you want to stop foreclosure, get Ms. Love's book for sure as it is "hands on", but I find myself frequently referring back to the information in Peggy's to gain an additional perceptive. Money Troubles is another great book that provides wonderful information and exceeds the scope of Peggy's book, because it covers everything inside and out of bankruptcy, like Tiffany's book. Which some people I think may find too technical, but if you're doing battle like I am with creditors the information is right on target. All three will cost you less than $100 far less than an attorney's consultation fee. My verdict: Peggy's book for the legal advice, Tiffany's book for insight and roadmap, Money Trouble for everything else even after bankruptcy. The others are crap!

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This book is GREAT!! It has the forms and samples I need for my counseling business. The author did an outstanding job editing the book and it's easy to read. Everything you need to know is in here. The CD ROM alone is worth the purchase. No, I don't know the author. I did meet her a signing and let's say she's all that and ... (too bad they didn't take a piture of her body).
