Lita Epstein, Poinciana, FL, who earned her MBA from Emory University's Goizueta Business School, enjoys helping people develop good financial, investing, and tax-planning skills. In her book, The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Improving Your Credit Score, she clearly explains what a credit score is and how it impacts life. Rather than putting the focus squarely on credit emergencies, it provides everything readers need to know to raise their score and keep it high, now and in the future. In The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Improving Your Credit Score, readers find information on:

·        Busting credit myths that keep your credit score lower than it could be

·        Setting up your score—establishing bank accounts and using credit the right way

·        Why it's important to pay your bills on time—and what actually happens to your score when you're late

·        How paying off or down your debt can raise your score

·        Avoiding credit score mishaps, from avoiding scams to protecting your identity to knowing your credit rights. ISBN: 9781592576906, $12.95. HBM
