 Steven Snyder's system was very helpful for me, 2008-04-21
I declared in 2002 and was devastated. I'm sure everyone is but my morale and my sense of security were rotten. I had just moved to a new city on the other coast and strolling through unusually small bookshops, I came across the first edition of this book. It was illuminating to me, someone who had no credit education at all. I wish I read it before and I'd never have needed it later. But the real clincher came when I went to his seminar, freely offered. I was somewhat suspicious but after going there I left with real hope. I signed up for his regular email bulletin and I've participated in 1 phone conference since then. He has dedicated himself to the postbankruptcy recovery period and keeps current. So even if his own bankruptcy was a long time ago, his information keeps being upgraded. His dynamic personality ensures that he has connections and so you will be able to find lenders to help you during the difficult period of no credit to bad credit to mediocre etc. He has contacts and they respect him, so that coming to them through Steven shows them you are a better risk, someone who is trying to do things properly. Knowing that I could get a car, while mine was rapidly falling apart, was a huge relief. The second edition of this book was not as exciting to me, since I've learned much more since then. It is not fair to evaluate it. I wish it had more of a directory, with names and numbers etc., which he gives you at the seminar. But since his seminars focus on specific geographic areas, it is easier than say keeping the entire USA in one place. I get the limitations. So, my 5 score rating is for the whole package. I don't know how someone new to the process would feel reading the book but it gives you hope, tips, and a simple plan to follow that will help you. Now if you can't or won't follow them, that is another story and discovering why will probably help you lots. The other thing is it presumes a drive that many people may not have. You have to have a certain personality to be willing to go out there and advocate for yourself and not just be feeble and submissive but to keep your head up, not give up when you hear "no", and keep on going till you get "yes". That isn't for everyone. In some cases, it may not be feasible if you live in a small town. Your options are limited. But in this day and age of internet, maybe it isn't so limiting. Anyway, there is no cookie cutter approach and you have to adapt these principles to fit your needs. And the religious stuff is so innoccuous. I hate when people preach to me but it is really inoffensive. Every spiritual tradition believes in the idea that if you give, you will get. And it is very true. The money we waste can turn into positive karma if we mindfully donate a portion of it to a worthy cause. And mindfulness about money can only be helpful for the recovering person.

 The Book Is Actually An Ad For His $497 Course, 2007-09-12
This book is FULL of commercials but void of any specific information you can apply to your life. His advice on everything from getting credit cards, auto loans, installment loans, mortgages, what ever, is to research everything out there and interview every loan officer, credit mangager etc out there, and find the best deal.
This book, his internet site, and his "free" seminar are all in effect teases to get you to buy his "Increase Your Credit Scores - Improve Your Lifestyle" course which costs $497. Presumably, some actually utilizable information is in that.

 Bankruptcy, 2007-03-22
There is a moderate amount of useful information about life after bankruptcy. Probably half of the information can be found on the internet. However, the author should not have used the bankruptcy information as a cover for preaching his religious beliefs. I felt mislead.

Waste of money, 2006-12-22
You can find all this information on line. There is nothing new here for a post bankruptcy person. Also, he has a RELIGIOUS BENT so be careful.
