THE Best Book on Credit Scores -- Get it!
The biggest problem with nearly all of the books about credit that are on the market is this: They're all about how to improve your credit, as though that's somehow the key to financial success.Guess what?It isn't. Good credit is what gets people into debt trouble in the first place. The only good thing you can do with a high credit score is buy a house. Everything else -- consumer goods, new cars, private student loans, boats, luxury vacations, etc. -- is bad.What Geoff Williams and Chris Balish show in this book that is actually quite groundbreaking is this: YOU DON'T NEED GOOD CREDIT TO HAVE A GOOD FINANCIAL LIFE! I would rather be rich than have good credit and, contrary to popular belief, the two are not really that related. Most people use a high credit score to destroy their financial lives, not improve them.Major props to Chris Balish and Geoff Williams for putting together a book whose time has come.Wake up, America...

Product Description
If bad credit has happened to you, there is something you can do about it
Feeling broke and battered? We know the feeling—heck, everyone knows it. According to the Wall Street Journal, 110 million Americans have bad credit—almost 50% of the adult population. But we don't have to be depressed or discouraged about it. There is life after bad credit. In fact, there's even life during bad credit.
Living Well with Bad Credit is the right help at the right time. If you're bravely soldiering on despite your finances going south, this informative book is for you. It puts the emphasis on living with bad credit—and living well. Veteran journalist Geoff Williams (AOL' s personal finance blog WalletPop, CNNMoney.com, Bankrate.com) and media powerhouse Chris Balish, an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and author (Living Well Without a Car), have teamed up to bring readers:
• Usable tips on how to embrace, and even benefit from, a low credit score
• Invaluable advice for dealing with 'lifestyle' events such as how to buy a car or qualify for a credit card with bad credit
• Interviews with dozens of experts and successful professionals who share ideas on how to live with the negative effects of bad credit
• Practical discussion on topics that go beyond finance, such as healing self-esteem and building relationships in spite of bad credit
While bad credit can be a setback, it doesn't have to be a roadblock. This expert guide is just the ticket to a better life once again

Living Well with Bad Credit
Chris Balish and Geoff Williams have come up with a sympathetic, clear, and helpful guide to navigating everyday and large financial decisions. The book is geared towards people with low credit scores, but it also offers information helpful to all of us. The main causes of the disruption/destruction of solid credit history are "divorce, disaster, a serious medical condition, or getting laid off from a job."We know that the cost of bad credit is expensive, so Living Well With Bad Credit is especially helpful with its solid suggestions of ways to both save money and to be able to get hired, find decent housing, rent a car, start a business, go on a vacation (not a posh one!), and repair credit history.The book is divided into these ten parts: * Welcome to the Land of Bad Credit * Banking with Bad Credit * Getting a Good Job with Bad Credit * Good Housing with Bad Credit * Driving: Bad Credit in the Passenger Seat *...
