Clean Up Your Finances (Collection) by Liz Weston Pdf

Struggling with debt? Get realistic help that's actually useful, from Liz Weston, one of the most popular and respected personal finance experts! Today, people struggling with debt have far fewer options: lenders are stingier, which makes it harder to avert disaster, or to recover from setbacks like foreclosure, short sales, or bankruptcy. (Meanwhile, people with good credit have more options than ever, including some of the lowest interest rates in decades.) You need an up-to-date guide that can help you assess options, find help, discover opportunities, and take action that works. Liz Weston's Deal with Your Debt, Updated and Revised Edition is that guide. You'll learn which debts can actually help build wealth over time, and which are simply toxic. Weston offers practical guidelines for assessing how much debt is safe -- and compassionate, realistic guidance if you've gone beyond the safety zone. Today, a good credit score is essential for getting decent terms on credit--or for getting credit at all. But that's just the beginning: Your credit score rating can be reviewed by everyone from employers to cell phone carriers. Your Credit Score, Fourth Edition thoroughly covers brand-new laws changing everything from how your credit score can be used to how you can communicate with collectors. This edition also adds simple graphics revealing exactly how much skipped payments, bankruptcies, and other actions will lower your credit ratings, and how long it takes to rebound. Weston updates her expert guidance on using FICO 08 to raise your score, fighting lower limits and higher rates, maintaining the right mix of cards and balances, bouncing back from bad credit, choosing credit "solutions" that help, not hurt… and much more!

Today, people struggling with debt have far fewer options: lenders are stingier, which makes it harder to avert disaster, or to recover from setbacks like foreclosure, short sales, or bankruptcy. (Meanwhile, people with good credit have more options than ever, including some of the lowest interest rates in decades.) Debtors need an up-to-date guide that can help them assess options, find help, discover opportunities, and take action that works. Liz Weston's Deal with Your Debt, Updated and Revised Edition is that guide. Most "conventional wisdom" about debt is just dead wrong. People are told to pay it all off, and live forever without it. Doing that can leave them a lot poorer in the long run. They're more likely to give up, or pay off the wrong debts. They may give themselves too little flexibility to survive a financial crisis. They could neglect saving for retirement. They may even wind up in bankruptcy -- just what they're trying to avoid! For most people, it's more realistic -- and smarter -- to control and manage debt effectively. In Your Credit Score: How to Improve the 3-Digit Number That Shapes Your Financial Future, 4/e, Weston thoroughly covers brand-new laws changing everything from how your credit score can be used to how you can communicate with collectors. This edition also adds: Simple graphics revealing exactly how much skipped payments, bankruptcies, and other actions will lower your scores, and how long it takes to rebound. New information on "FAKO" alternative scores. Expanded coverage of the impact of short sales and foreclosures, the new FICO 8 Mortgage Score, and deciding when to "walk away". An all-new chapter on safeguarding against unethical or illegal use of credit scores by employers. Expanded coverage of credit scoring by insurers. Weston also updates her guidance on using FICO 08 to raise your score; fighting lower limits or higher rates; maintaining the right mix of cards and balances; bouncing back from bad credit; choosing credit "solutions" that help, not hurt; and much more!

Clean Up Your Credit! by Richard Mansfield Pdf

Bad things happen to good people. Events not always under our control can often result in our credit scores going down, and sometimes way, way down. There are consumer protection laws that you can use to remove negative items from your credit report,. Because of a quirk in the law you can, as the author did, remove items that really are yours. But if you try to go it alone, the credit repair journey can be a nightmare. This book introduces a step-by-step credit repair system, actulal documents the author used to settle suits, and legal cases filed in federal courts against major credit bureaus. These are the credit repair secrets they really don’t want to you to know, from someone who successfully challenged the credit reporting industry. Contrary to what you may believe, there is a way to improve your credit score substantially, and this book will help you get there.The author was a vice president at Guardian Bank in charge of the collection department and went on to start a collection agency. After selling the agency he became a credit restoration coach. To prove what he knew in theory could in fact be done, he stopped paying everything: repossession, foreclosure, medical bills, student loans, and credit cards. He even filed for bankruptcy. His credit score went from over 800 down to 461. He had it back to 742 in five months. Mr. Mansfield walks you through every step of the credit restoration process. As a bonus, when you purchase the book there’s information on how to contact Mr. Mansfield directly! There is no other credit restoration book like this.

We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers Pdf

Are you ready to fill your life with more peace, power, and joy? We Should All Be Millionaires details a realistic, achievable, step-by-step path to creating the support, confidence, and plan you need to own your success and become the millionaire the world needs you to be. Only 10 percent of the world’s millionaires are women, making it difficult for women to wield the economic power that will create lasting equality. Whatever is stopping you from having seven figures in the bank—whether it’s shaky confidence, knowledge gaps when it comes to wealth building tactics, imposter syndrome, a janky mindset about money (it’s okay, we’ve all been there!), or simply not knowing where to begin—this book shows you how to clear every obstacle in your way, show up, and glow up. We Should All Be Millionaires will forever change the way you think about money and your ability to earn it. In this book, Rachel Rodgers— a Black woman, mother of four, attorney, business owner, and self-made millionaire— shares the lessons she’s learned both in her own journey to wealth and in coaching hundreds of women through their own journeys to seven figures. Inside, you’ll learn: Why earning more money is not “selfish” or “greedy” but in fact, a revolutionary act that brings the economy into balance and creates a better world for all. Why most of the financial advice you’ve heard in the past (like “skip your daily latte to save money”) is absolute, patriarchal nonsense. An eye-opening history lesson on how women and people of color have been shut out of the ability to build wealth for centuries—and how we can fix this. How to stop making broke-ass decisions that leave you feeling emotionally and financially depleted and start making million-dollar decisions instead. Why aiming to earn $100K per year is not enough, and why you need to be setting your goals much higher. Strategies to bring more money in the door and fatten your bank account immediately. (Including Rodgers’$10K in 10 Days Challenge which hundreds of women have completed—with incredible results.) It’s time to construct an entirely new attitude about money, claim your power, and build the financial security that you need and deserve — so you can stop just surviving, and start thriving. Let’s begin.
