Debt Cures "they" Don't Want You to Know about

Kevin Trudeau · 2008
77/100
👍 Worth It

Kevin Trudeau's 2007 book promises to expose financial secrets 'they' are hiding from you — and then mostly delivers common-sense information about disputing debts and consumer credit protections, dressed in sensationalist infomercial language. Some of the underlying consumer protection information is real and useful. But the 'conspiracy' framing is designed to manipulate, the content is widely reported as repetitive and padded, and the author's record is a serious problem: Trudeau was banned from producing infomercials by a federal judge in 2008 for misrepresenting another book's contents and later received a ten-year prison sentence for contempt of court tied to his broader book-marketing deceptions. The FTC took enforcement action against him multiple times. The score reflects some marginal informational value, but faith-family readers should approach with real caution and seek more trustworthy sources on debt management.
