I was hoping for some hard numbers on what kind of rates are normal for buying and selling debt different types of debt, but all I could find was that the author usually charges a 25% commission.

At $16.95 I suppose it's wasn't too much pay for a few pieces of good advice.

Fails to give enough information  Feb 22, 2006
By J. Allen
This book only provides a VERY little more than can be found in 3 minutes of searching the internet.

I was highly dissapointed by the lack of significant content. It was short, generic, and I believe did not provide answers to any of the really tough questions about starting a home based collections business.

I would NOT buy it again or recommend it to a friend.

Very basic ... very disappointing  Jan 17, 2007
By keven37@hotmail.com "Keven7"
I should have listened to the reviewer who said you could find all the information in this book through a 3 minute search on the internet. Lots of references, lots of filler content (such as a chapter on the FDCPA, pretty much word for word), but very little "actionable" content. I was hoping to have some substance that would springboard my plan into action. Well, this book isn't the answer.
If you are looking for basic information that stays at "level 1" ... then this book may work for you. Unfortunately, I was searching for Level 2,3,4 details that I could act upon.

It's not worth it.  Sep 19, 2009
By Liberty Group New York Inc.
This books offers nothing. It should only cost $2.00. I don't know why Amazon is even selling it.

Too Basic for My Use  Sep 06, 2009
By Edward J. Barton
The book is so general that it had little use to me, or probably anyone else with even a modicum of collections business experience. In fact, the only real value I found was a few decent supplier and vendor references, and a dated copy of the FDCPA.
