 DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK!!! January 19, 1999

Honestly, I don't even know how this book got published. Almost exactly 1/2 of the book is simply a direct copy of Mr. Binder's own bankruptcy papers--no explanations or commentary, just the copies. The rest of the book took me about 20 minutes to read. It was filled with the attitude "you might as well abuse the system as much as you can." It stated that you can just forget about buying a home until your bankruptcy's off your record, period. It also was filled with wonderful tips for getting post-bankruptcy credit cards. For example, Mr. Binder suggests enrolling in a cheap college class to get a college ID, applying for a student credit card, then dropping the class in time to get your tuition fully refunded. He also suggests making "inadvertent" mistakes when filling out credit card applications. Please, please, PLEASE do not waste the time and money on this book. You will find NOTHING useful in it. One really has to wonder about a book written about a legal matter that continually refers to your attorney as your "shyster," and tells you that you don't need a particularly good one, since it's a simple procedure. Instead, order "Bounce Back from Bankruptcy" by Paula Langguth Ryan. She tells you how you CAN get a mortgage after bankruptcy. She provides the names and addresses of the major credit reporting agencies, and even provides form letters for requesting and correcting your credit report. Everything is broken down, step by step. HER advice about post-bankruptcy credit cards includes a listing of banks that offer secured and unsecured cards, and compares them in terms of requirements, credit limit, annual/application fees, amount of deposit required (secured), return on deposit (secured), interest rates, and has verified that these cards do indeed show up as positive credit references on your credit report (many secured cards do not). Names, addresses, phone numbers, exactly who to call, or what to write--it's in Ms. Langguth Ryan's book. So, please--if you're considering bankruptcy, or looking to rebuild your credit, use your hard-earned money for "Bounce Back from Bankruptcy" instead of Mr. Binder's piece of trash.
