Kevin Trudeau’s Debt Cures Book Reviews – Chapter One

I’ve been reading Kevin Trudeau’s new book Debt Cures for a few days now. My first observation is that Trudeau is very much trying to empower his readers to take charge of their own financial lives. I agree with his beliefs that the average American doesn’t understand the way that the banking and credit card industries work in our country. The purpose of the Debt Cures book is to educate readers to understand the credit card system and its rules and use this information to take action and free themselves from the burden of debt. The book is written in a very simple manner that allows any reader to pick it up, read it and understand it very easily. My objective in my reviews of the book is to tell you what the book is about. Unfortunately, though, I can’t share with you all the stories and techniques that are explained in the book.

Trudeau opens the first chapter of Debt Cures by building up his own credentials as an author and consumer advocate. He talks about the fact that the government, as well as corporate America, was angry with him after his pervious books Natural Cures and The Weight Loss Cure. He goes on to explain that his main objective in writing this book is, “to have a positive impact on individuals and society.”

After explaining his intentions, Trudeau begins to empower his readers to recognize their debt problems and the effect that debt is having on their lives. Debt and the pressures of debt collectors create huge stress levels that can affect every area of one’s life. Trudeau explains that while these stresses are real, they are usually not the cardholders’ fault. According to Debt Cures, the credit card industry is employing predatory practices to unfairly increase cardholders’ debt by increase interest rate, charging unfair fees as well as many other unscrupulous acts. Trudeau also claims that the U.S. government protects the credit card companies because these companies continue to donate generously to many of the politicians’ election campaigns.

The book goes on to promise that it will share the secrets of how to eliminate debt and get the creditors off your back. But it goes one step farther. Debt Cures claims that it will teach you how to build true wealth in your life by using good debt. I know that many of you are now asking, “What is good debt?” We’ll answer that question in future chapters. The last claim of the first chapter is that the book will teach you how to find free money that you will never have to pay back (I assume that this is through various government loan programs).

My initial impression up on reading the first chapter of Debt Cures is that Kevin Trudeau is playing on his readers’ emotions and suffering and that he himself is trying to profit from that suffering. However, I also believe that Kevin Trudeau is a very smart man. I am confident that although his intentions are not as sincere as he claims, he will provide most of his readers with valuable information that will save them money. If Debt Cures helps you to eliminate even one credit card fee (which I’m sure it can), it will probably already pay for the price of the book.
