Very helpful book. I didn't realize just how important my credit score could be on a day-to-day basis until my house insurance jumped 10% (and it is outrageous enough already) and when I started checking into the reason I was told it was because my credit rating dropped. I have since fixed that mistake and changed insurance companies so I will be keeping a very close check on my credit score in the future.
IF the state of your credit rating is of any importance to you, you will read and follow the information in this book. We all need to pay a lot more attention to the small details that affect our financial security.
