Give Me Back My Credit!

reviewed by Robert Pritchett

Denise Richardson relates her life history as her identity is stolen and she fights to get it back. She also discusses at great length her experiences as lessons learned on fighting double-billings, the round-robin with the credit rating companies and trying again and again to clear her name on the books – including court experiences and how she turned her lemons into lemonade as a professional consumer advocate. She managed to do this as she learned to reach out to others for support and realized she wasn’t the lone stranger here in the US.

How is your credit report doing? Do you know where to go to find out what is being recorded about you? Do you know how to correct and recorrect the misinformation that may have been put there innocently or by design to ruin your credit history?

I would have given this book a better rating except for the fact that a couple of swear words slipped in to the book and that bothered me However, I completely understand the frustration Denise Richardson went though as she provides a blow-by-blow of her not-so-uncommon experience in this electronic age where your credit reputation can be stolen, destroyed or besmirched in a microsecond and takes years to correct.
