This book was disappointing. Buying a book without
being able to browse it beforehand makes it
difficult to know if its what you want. If I would
have been able to skim through this book prior to
buying, I would not have bought it. It's not that
it's bad, it's just that its not what I needed or
the title implied. It is not a comprehensive book
at all. The title "guerrilla" makes you think it
will offer unique, aggressive, insightful,
strategic, or uncommonly known tactics to attack
your credit repair. It absolutely fell short of
that. But what it does deliver is very detailed,
easy to follow understanding of BASIC information
(what credit is, how to contact the bureaus, what
type of letters to send, etc.) It gives you a
decent strategy on how to dispute items on your
CR. A huge shortcoming for this book is that 100
pages of the 200 page book was given to printing
the FCRA (fair credit reporting act). Helpful but
a waste. Instead of giving us some "guerrilla
tactics" for 100 pages, they print the act
instead. If you are really trying to repair your
credit and you need real life information and real
"guerrilla" tactics then you MUST prepare yourself
mentally (it can get legal, psychological and
emotional) and use the vast amounts of FREE
information and FREE resources available online.
Try joining FREE online communities/forums. Avoid
people capitalizing on your despair with
over-priced credit repair books, credit repair
kits, pay-for services (i.e. now bankrupt
AmeriDebt) or other books where gazillionaires
bloviate about how rich and debt-free THEY are.
Good for you. People with poor financial
situations and poor credit do need inspiration but
people also need practical aggressive ways to get
their backs from against the wall. In conclusion,
you'd be better off researching online for a few
weeks, seeking FREE professional opinions, or
checking out books like this one from the library.
