Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I wanted to give a close friend some heads up information about filing for bankruptcy before she sees an attorney. This book spells everything out very concisely. She really appreciated the points I was able to pass along to her.

⭐But if you do, this book will answer all the questions you have and then some you have not thought of. Of course there is not substitute for a good attorney, but this book will certainly put you at ease. One point the book makes that I want to stress is, don’t think of bk as a last resort, i.e. don’t suffer for years only to end up doing it anyway. If bk is the best answer follow your heart, but this book also gives you alternatives worth exploring. My own bit of advise, don’t try and do it yourself, and beware of the $500.00 guy, they rely on volume, and just wont put the effort into every case like a good council will. Good Luck!!

⭐As a former (recovering and remorseful)banker I wanted to see what draconian revisions the credit card and finance industry put in the law back at the beginning of Geo. W’s first term. Loke most of todays legislation, these revisions were written by the industry. Hmmm.Does that sound like fascism??? This book was well put together and very helpful. A word of caution, “Don’t try this at Home”. Read for information,then find a Board certified bankruptcy Specialist.

⭐Informative, just enough information to get me started. Glad I didnt pay full price for book, and the seller shipped the book especially quick to me. Great deal.

⭐This humorous book is wonderfully well explained. It really gives you all the information you need as a layperson to make the decision to file or not without complicating things unnecessarily. I highly recommend it

⭐This was an informative book. I have decided to forgo bankruptcy but I understand the process better and will find this a useful reference if I change my mind.

⭐answered all my questions, however it is true that a lawyer is a wise choice…as this book recommends!

⭐Good book. Lots of useful information.
