Let's be honest, it can be really hard to figure out whether a credit repair service is going to scam you or not. Many credit repair services aren't exactly forthcoming about predatory practices. Online reviews can help, but a lot of times those reviews are based on superficial information. Many of those sites never test out the products, and even if they do, they don't have a complete picture of how an everyday customer is treated by each credit repair service.
That's why having reviews and input from actual users is so important to helping consumers pick a reliable and trustworthy credit repair service. Over the years, we've seen many customers come to our site and leave helpful comments for other readers who might be trying to find the right credit repair service for them. Through those comments, we've received great feedback from other customers who say that those user comments have helped them make a more informed decision about which credit repair service to use. Here are the top credit repair services based on that feedback:
