It teaches how to build good credit, how to restore damaged credit, and how to fight back against a credit system that often feels like it's designed to confuse.Making Common Cents of Credit pulls back the curtain to explain how it all works, and provides ready-to-use sample Credit Bureau Dispute Letters and detailed information on the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other laws that are designed to protect consumers.Franchesca Ross-Jones knows first-hand the struggles of a single mother with no financial education.
