Young, Customer More than half of the adults in America have bad credit or no credit with 50 million having no score at all. With all the confusion and false information about credit, it is no surprise that credit is such an emotionally charged subject. The purpose of this book is to educate you about credit so that you can control your credit and use it to your advantage. To play the game, you need to know the rules.
I wish that school would teach real life lesson like this. What is credit, how does the thing work, how they judge you and how to get out from under that debt rock. Seriously,I have had some eye opening, aha, are you kidding me, and those sneaky (blanks) moments while reading this. If you have credit, if you don't have credit, if you have bad credit, good credit or want to judge someone based on their credit YOU NEED TO READ THIS. The truth of how the game is played it not what I've been told, yes it is played like a game. The real numbers are not at all what the credit companies lead us to believe. Short and to the point in a quick easy to understand book. I would recommend to everyone from high school to...
This was a fair book, much of what he said about credit specifically and how to raise your score was nothing new to me in terms of how credit works and so on. He also deals with what happens to credit after a divorce and so on.
The best part is the Credit Hacks chapter at the end of the book. Credit scores are not a status symbol, don't be ashamed because you're paying a high interest rate. Good book for those new to credit and want to know how credit works. Or for those who need to be reminded. Recommended.
I received a free ARC from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
Crack the Credit Code is a book that I wish had been around a few years ago. Todd Wilson has gone through the struggle of having to repair his credit and is now sharing his wisdom with the rest of us. A very short read, but a needed read, as this information is never covered in school or elsewhere in life. You quickly learn what you thought would really help your credit score could cause even more problems.
An interesting and informative relating of the things considered by those that recommend (or do not) granting credit.. Good, understandable explanations and advice included for the novice and familiar. A wonderful, entertaining text of what to do and not to do if you desire a strong credit rating.
