Absolutely the best!

This book has to be the most comprehensive and most helpful book for people who are having credit and money problems. It's easy to read (like all the Nolo books I've read) and the information is detailed and excellent. The state-by-state charts of current laws are really useful. I can't recommend it highly enough -- and I've recommended it to a lot of people.

I high recommend this book

I have been using this book since 1995 for my own use and to direct others who run into problems. Even if you do not have money problems, the system is out to beat you. There is a lot of misinformation about you out there. Creditors do not care about reporting the correct information about you. This book shows you how to fight back and win.

An excellent guide to solving serious money problems

If you have serious financial difficulties, this book will get you on the path to fiscal health. You'll learn how to respond to wage attachments, lawsuits, the repossession of your car, foreclosure proceedings, property liens, and IRS threats. Includes practical tactics for getting creditors off your back.
