Since I just recently graduated from college and have some loans to pay off, I was really worried about my credit score and wanted to learn more about it. This book gave a great review of credit scores and where they get their information to give you your "score." It also told me about where to find a credit report and how to go about accessing all of my information, including something I had never heard about, which is the FICO score. I wouldn't have known a lot of this information without this book--no one teaches you this stuff while you are growing up! Banks and lenders just assume that you know it, so it is smart to take a few hours to educate yourself about how it all works. I feel a lot more comfortable after reading this book. I thought the best section was about resolving credit disputes and errors, and also about identity theft, because those are some things that were really troubling me. The information on how to boost my score was also really helpful.
