Good Credit Is Sexy

Rating:
Summary: Excellent consumer information
Review: Good Credit is Sexy is worth its price alone for the information it provides on protecting personal privacy. It tells where to write to stop the junk mail that arrives in the mailbox on a daily basis and how to stop unwanted sales calls from interrupting the peace and quiet of evenings at home. Along with these valuable addresses, the book contains addresses and phone numbers (often toll-free) for the credit bureaus, major credit card companies, student loan services, etc.

It clearly defines and explains the different types of consumer credit--student loans, credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, and equity lines--along with the criteria used by companies in granting or rejecting credit applications.

The days of buying a car with cash are history for most of us. Credit is an integral part of our daily lives whether we like it or not. Good Credit is Sexy is a comprehensive reference book for those just starting to establish credit as well as for those who have been using credit for years. Add this one to your library.

Summary: Sassy and very helpful
Review: I was very happy to happen upon this book while searching the Amaozon site. I've found the tone fun and sassy...which is just what you need when approaching the all too "depressing" subject of credit. Her description of the Fair Issac credit scoring system was very helpful. Following the book's instructions I have successfully removed a negative item from my credit report. If you're looking for a comprehensive book on credit I would recommend this one.

Summary: For People Who Want to Be In the Know
Review: This is a great resource book. Creditors do not harrass me anymore. I really feel empowered after reading this. No I can not earse my credit, but if I had read this book before messing up my credit, I would have been a lot better off.
