The Complete Debt Relief Manual is the definitive guide to paying off and eliminating any kind of debt. Written from a procedure writer's perspective, it will guide you, with detailed steps, sample letters, and checklists, through the processes of budgeting, deciding the best way to pay off debts, negotiating settlements with credit card companies or the IRS without getting scammed by debt settlement or consolidation companies, dealing with debt collector calls and hassles, handling or avoiding lawsuits, determining whether or not to declare bankruptcy and how to avoid it, and repairing your credit and improving your credit score. Foreclosure is not dealt with due to its specialized nature and the risks involved of tackling it without an attorney. Born from the author's painful lessons learned and personal experience, The Compete Debt Relief Manual is a treasure of accurate and effective procedures to guide your every step on your journey to debt freedom.
