Hello-
While I am still reading my copy of Debt Cures, I received another review that I would like to share with you courtesy of Bob Levy. Thanks Bob.
Bob’s review of Debt Cures:
“I just finished reading my copy of debt Cures. I must say that I was extremely skeptical about it but was pleasantly surprised and excited by what I read. Firstly, the book blows the lid off the “Statute of Limitations” law that I never heard about anywhere else before. Basically you can tell the banks that they can go jump off a bridge if they lent you the money more than 4 years ago. A couple of credit card companies plus a bank have been trying to get me to pay I debt that I incurred almost 8 years ago. I have been pushing them off for years but thought there wasn’t much more to do but stall. In California the statute of limitations is 4 years. In some States the wait is shorter and some it’s longer. Either way I’m ecstatic that I’m going to be able to wipe of more than $12,500 in debt. That’s pretty spectacular. I have researched this info on google since I read this and found that is to be true. Why did I have to wait for Kevin Trudeau of all people to tell me this? Why didn’t my government of Credit Counselor tell me this? This one tip alone is more than worth the price of the book. Kevin also explains exactly how to go about enforcing your rights under this law (complete with form letters etc) and the steps to follow.
The second surprise is that all of the “Free Money” sources and grant agencies he mentions in the show are real. I checked out about 15 web sites and a few of the phone numbers he gives and they’re all for real. I’ll follow up with my results in the coming weeks and months but for now I’m really very happy I bought the book.
I would be interested to hear the experiences of others who follow the steps in the book. It’s very easy to complain that this information is available elsewhere but that’s not the point. All the info on Google is available elsewhere but they are smart enough to put it together in one place that’s easy for everyone. Kevin did the same thing and no one should begrudge him for that!”

Thank you again Bob for sharing your review of Debt Cures.
In my opinion, if this was Kevin Trudeau’s first book instead of his third book, it would be received in a more positive light instead of all of us thinking it just might be another scam. But since this is his third book we are much more skeptical about anything he publishes and judge him more harshly than we would most other authors.
I’m almost done with my next update and will post it here as soon as possible.
Thanks and have a great week,

Hello-
Here is part one of my review of Debt Cures.
Just got my copy of Kevin Trudeau’s Debt Cures Book. The book arrived in a similar box to what you receive when you order a book from Amazon. Amazon can ship books for free when you spend over $25 so why did this box cost $11.95 to ship?
I went back to the main debtcures.com website and looked in their FAQ, it no longer has that question listed there. It used to say that due to higher costs, blah, blah, blah.
So I started reading. I am currently on chapter 10, page 111. For the first three chapters of Debt Cures, Kevin Trudeau takes the approach that you know nothing about the lending, banking, and credit industry. If you don’t then these background chapter will probably get a little under your skin reading about some of their predatory practices and how they love to squeeze every penny out of us with ridiculous fees and high interest rates.
But anyone who watches the news and reads or does research about their credit will have already read this on most credit related websites. For free. So none of this stuff in my opinion was ‘ground breaking’ or ‘never before been revealed.’
Yes, the credit card companies advertise heavily to get our business. Yes, they try and squeeze as much profit out of us as possible. Yes, those late payment and over the limit fees suck!
So by reading those first three chapters, you can get a little riled up and want to take action to stop them from taking more of your money than they should. So tell me how to do that Kevin!
Chapter four is titled, “Eliminate Your Debt!”
Now we get on to the more meatier part of the book with some actionable content. In this chapter, Kevin talks about how there is a legal way of eliminating your debt. It’s called the statute of limitations on debt. This method can also be found on Google. But, he does offer some good tips on the whole debt elimination strategy. He walks you through the whole process of dealing with creditors and collectors who keep harassing you to pay your bills.
The information in chapter four is something that I would pay for. So Mr. Trudeau, you finally scored one positive point.
Chapters five and six are about negotiating your debt and asking your credit card companies to lower your interest rates. The more you save on interest, the less you have to pay and the quicker you get out of debt.
In the back of my mind, I keep thinking that a lot of this information is available for free online and it’s not original. It is very easy to read and understand in the down to earth manner that Kevin presents it. You have to do some searching for it online. So if you have the time available, you can do all the research for yourself online or you can get it from a book like Debt Cures or from one of Dave Ramsey’s or Suze Orman’s books.
In the next post I’ll continue with my review of Debt Cures and let you know my thoughts.
If you have any comments you can post them below. They are appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Hello all-
Still have not received my copy of Debt Cures. Amy has received hers and posted this initial review:
“I just started to read this book and Kevin is soo repetitive its so boring I have to skip pages. Ok how long is he going to drag out how the government and the credit cards are unethical? I am still at the beginning of this book and he has pages and pages.. So far I have not gotten to any substance. I am hoping That I will. Kevin did this a lot with his other books. HE wastes a lot just to fill up the pages.. so he can turn whatever he says into a book. Alright already. Enough is enough. how many times does he have to repeat the same thing. So far I am disappointed, but I am hoping that I will run into some substance soon.”
Thanks Amy.
If anyone has received their copy and wants to share their review, you can post it as a comment and I will post it or send me an email: debtcure at debtcuresreviews dot com
Debt Cures is not off to a good start.

Hello-
I wanted to show you what happens when you order Debt Cures online. I ordered my copy online so I am not able to respond to the people who ordered it over the phone but I imagine it is probably similar. You’re probably going to be sold several products over the phone. TV advertising is not cheap so Kevin Trudeau has to pay for those costs somehow.
So here’s what happens right after you order:
You get a chance to buy more copies for half price. You can buy them for $14.95 and pay $11.95 shipping and handling! So much for combining shipping costs. Lol. C’mon, how can shipping an additional book cost an additional $11.95 to ship?
That’s just crazy.
Next, you can buy the audio version of Debt Cures. This one offers additional bonus materials. So much for giving you all the secrets.
I agree that some people learn better by listening but for this option I say wait for it to be at Audible or some other audio book site. I like how this can be shipped for free. 10 CDs can be shipped for free but one book and 2 CDs are shipped for $11.95?
Moving on…
Next, you get the option of subscribing to the Debt Cures Newsletter for only $9.95 a month:
There are several sites out there that offer debt tips for free so I’ll pass on this newsletter.
Next, you can get a free MP3 player if you pay for a whole year of the newsletter all at once:
Pass.
Next in the upsell line is debt letters:
These you can find online for free. Google “Sample credit card dispute letters” and that should get you started.
This next upsell has little to do with getting out of debt:
It’s a making money type book that tells you how to get rich in real estate, investing and building your own business. Or you can just sell books like Kevin Trudeau that make big promises. Lol. And how come this book gets shipped free?
Finally, my order is complete!
I blanked out my address and phone.
But wait…there’s more!
In the top left corner, there’s an option to get a free Wal-Mart gift card:
You have to signup for a 30 day free trial to a buying club to get it.
Make sure you read the fine print:
Ok, so that’s the whole ordeal when you order Debt Cures online. It’s only been a week since I ordered so I don’t expect the book to arrive for a few more days.
Why would I expect speedy service? I mean FedEx charges about $15 for an overnight letter but $11.95 for one book is too much to ask for it to arrive in 8 days. Small amount of sarcasm there. :o)
So how can you expect to get out of debt if Kevin Trudeau wants you to spend an additional $236.15 for all the additional products he tries to sell you. It’s not bad enough that the book costs $29.95 and an additional $11.95 to ship it.
So I’ll just wait for my copy and start to read it when it gets here.
Til the next Debt Cures Review update,
Adam
