Dirty Little Secrets: What the Credit Bureaus Won’t Tell You
I thought this book was/is very informative and very helpful. I would highly recommend this book, and (considering todays economy) it should be a staple.
Rating: 5 / 5
This type of book is the “let’s sell the title” variety…
Nothing new in this book.
I learned Much more at a recent Bruce Mack Seminar in Vegas.
Don’t waste your time or money.
Forget my money, I want the 10 hours or so it took to read this back…

I agree with McCallum, bought the book because I was dealing with some items I needed pertinent information on, and thought Dirty Little Secrets would cut to the chase….WRONG. It’s happens to be a bunch of common sense information that one who has credit already knows. In addition, its very repetitive.

I purchased the book, and, no, there are no “dirty little secrets” in the book. The title is more to grab your attention than anything. This book is credit 101. It takes a topic that is (lets all agree) very BORING, and puts it into a form that is easily understood by anyone with a 9th grade reading level. I work in the credit business and I look at people’s credit every day. Most of them are a nightmare precisely because they don’t understand how credit works, or what helps, or what hurts. Credit is not getting better. It’s getting worse, and this book should be a mandatory read. Not because it’s full of incredibly detailed information, but because America as a whole is credit-ignorant and could use a 101 crash course. Yes, you could get the same information from surfing multiple websites, but if you want all that information in a very simple, short, and easy to understand book, this is it. Parents aren’t teaching good credit information to their kids, so who’s going to give them credit 101 info? This book is so basic that it should be a mandatory read for kids as soon as they land their first job. Yes, the title is a bit misleading. No, there are no earth shattering tidbits in it. Considering most people in America have NO CLUE about the ins-and-outs of how credit works, or how even a simple late pay can damage their credit, or how to go about resurrecting their credit, I would strongly suggest this book.

I was very disappointed in this book. The “BIG” secret is; pay your bill’s on time! This book actually gives bad advice if you are trying to better your credit score. There are many other books out there with much more and helpful information. Don’t waste your money. Most of the book is about common sense or information you can find on the credit bureaus websites. Unless you want to know about how to handle debt collector’s this book is useless. Not ONE dirty secret!!! I even checked the year the book was writen in, I thought maybe is was from a decade ago….
