Everything You Need to Know About Identity Theft, Credit Cards, Credit Repair, and Credit Reports
"The author substitutes straight talk for legal mumbo-jumbo in 50 Ways to Protect Your Identity and Your Credit. Reading this book is like getting a black belt in consumer self-defense."
–Jim Bohannon, host of The Jim Bohannon Show
"Identity theft is among the fastest-growing problems facing Americans today. This book will help you learn all you need to know to protect your lives, money, and security. Consider it your first stop in your quest for knowledge and guidance to prevent ID theft."
–Robert Powell, Editor of CBS MarketWatch
"As one who has lived through some of the nightmare scenarios discussed by the author,
I believe "Steve's Rules" (Chapter 14) need to be placed in a prominent place so you can see them any time you think you are safe. They may be the new practical commandments for financial survival."
–Doug Stephan, host of the Good Day nationally syndicated radio show
