With this revelatory new guide, YOUR SCORE, written by Anthony Davenport, is a consumer-friendly road map for understanding & navigating the secretive world of consumer credit.
Drawing on the real stories of his own firm’s high-profile clients, as well as the stories of middle-class Americans, Mr. Davenport reveals where your credit score comes from, how to improve, maintain, or rescue it, and how to avoid the hidden credit pitfalls that can ensnare even the most careful consumer.
