We researched 14 credit repair companies the same way, using the same checklist for each one: what it charges, what it actually does, what its complaint record looks like, and who it appears built for. We do not give these companies a score or a ranking. A number would flatten the things that separate them, so each review shows the details instead. And for a lot of people, the honest answer is that they do not need to pay anyone at all.
You already have the right to dispute inaccurate information on your credit report yourself, for free. No company can legally remove accurate negative information just because it hurts your score. If you want to try it yourself first, start with our do-it-yourself credit repair guide using AI or read what credit repair really is.

A federal court temporarily halted Credit Glory's operations in August 2026 and appointed a receiver. The FTC's allegations have not been decided by a court. We are not recommending this company.
Read the current statusCredit Sage LLC is a named defendant in the August 2026 federal case filed against the Credit Glory network. A court-appointed receiver has suspended operations. The allegations have not been decided by a court.
Read the current statusEvery company was checked against the same list: company basics and states served, full pricing including setup and monitoring fees, what the true cost adds up to at one, six and twelve months, how and when it charges, compliance disclosures required by the Credit Repair Organizations Act, regulatory and legal history, what the service actually does step by step, how disputes are handled, the claims it makes, its Trustpilot and Better Business Bureau records, cancellation and refund terms, and customer support. We read the reviews rather than only the star average.
We publish what we find first. Whether an affiliate relationship exists is decided separately, afterward, and never changes a finding. Read more about how we review companies.
Every company that charges money to improve your credit has to follow a federal law called the Credit Repair Organizations Act. It was written because so many of these companies took money up front and never did the work. Here is what the law gives you, no matter which company you are looking at.
Accurate negative information cannot be removed by anyone. It falls off on its own schedule. You can also dispute errors yourself, for free, directly with each credit bureau. If a company breaks the rules above, you can report it to the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Company pricing, guarantees, and cancellation terms change without notice. Confirm current details with the company in writing before you enroll.

For advice about your specific case, talk to a licensed attorney, a nonprofit credit counselor, or a tax professional.
We do not promise any score change, and neither can anyone else. No company can legally remove accurate information from your credit report. Disputing errors yourself is free.
Our findings reflect information available on the date shown on this page. Company pricing, plans, guarantees, and availability change, so confirm the current terms in writing with the company before you pay anything.
