Credit repair relies on disputing negative, inaccurate items on your credit report. Credit repair companies work on your behalf to remove this information by communicating with the three credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion) and/or financial companies, like your bank or a debt collector, to dispute the errors.

This differs from services like credit counseling, which is generally organized by a non-profit organization and can help you develop a budget, get copies of your credit report and create debt management plans.

A good credit repair company should never ask for payment upfront, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a government agency aimed at protecting consumers.

To find the best credit repair companies, CNBC Select analyzed more than a dozen U.S. credit repair companies.

When narrowing down and ranking the best credit repair companies, we focused on the following features:

• Fees. Credit repair companies charge both first-work fees and monthly fees for their services. We focused on those with the lowest fees. Additionally, we focused on those that were transparent about those costs and display them on their websites.
• Better Business Bureau accreditation. To be BBB accredited, companies must meet standards for transparency, honest advertising, trustworthiness, responsiveness and privacy, among other things.
• Customer satisfaction ratings. The BBB measures customer satisfaction through ratings left on its website. We considered both the rating and the number of reviews received.
• History. We considered the number of years a debt relief company has been operating.
• States where service is available. We considered the number of states where the service is available, prioritizing those that were more widely available.
• Discounts available. Some companies offer discounts for certain types of customers.
• Money-back guarantee. Many companies will refund customers if they’re not fully satisfied within their first 90 days of joining.

After reviewing the features listed above, we sorted our recommendations by best for affordability, best for money-back guarantee, best for customization, best for customer satisfaction and best for couples.
