Forever in Your Debt Jul 20, 2008
This book crept to the heart of credit card debt straight away - the fact that most of us don't want to even know how much our debt is, or admit to ourselves that we've gotten into this mess in the first place. Debt is intensely personal.
Harvey Warren lays out the groundwork by showing us how the credit card companies work, how they set us up by luring us in with promotional awards, and give us more credit than we need. He does an excellent job in advising the consumer of the options and programs that are out there, what to do about the crushing shame that comes with overwhelming credit problems, and how to start to get out of the debt hole. This was a very informative book, and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with overwelming credit card debt.

Readable and Reassuring Oct 20, 2007
This is an excerpt from the Introduction that I hope will help you better understand how important this book is to you if your sincerely want to avoid bankrupty... and foreclosure.
"Although personal responsibility is the fundamental first step in getting your financial house in order, I have always firmly believed that the credit card issuers have played a major role - and some suggest a dark role - in creating the current consumer debt crisis in America. I met with hundreds of good people who took responsibility for their debt and looked their financial disaster in the eye. All of them soon realized that the blame did not belong to them alone. They demonstrated to me that consumers in debt trouble are ready, willing, and able to rethink, reject, and release the habits and misconceptions they had about credit, avoid bankruptcy, and start building a durable financial future. This book has been written to help you take responsibility, just as they did; to support your desire to spare yourself the personal anguish and long-term financial consequences of bankruptcy; and to give you the skills you need to never again to be in anyone's debt."
The trick to getting out of debt is doing something, but first you need to know what to do.

Valuable Insight on "How to Get Out of Credit Card Debt" Sep 26, 2007
This "how to get out of credit card debt " book provides a practical, meaningful tool. Each of the chapters - including those on credit counseling, debt settlement, bankruptcy, what happens to your credit rating - can be read and used one at time enabling the reader to focus on topics of immediate interest. The budget chapter, which recognizes there is no single "right choice" only the choice right for you, provides the tools needed to create the personalized foundation necessary to becoming debt free. It seems to me that this guy knows what he is talking about and a few hours spent reading this book can save the reader thousands of dollars and more importantly, needless credit damage.
