CNBC Select Names Accredited Debt Relief Best for Debt Resources

The November 2026 ranking of the best debt relief companies recognizes the free money management resources Accredited Debt Relief offers.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Accredited Debt Relief, a debt relief company that has helped more than 1.3 million people and resolved more than $15 billion in debt, has been named best for debt resources in CNBC Select's list of the best debt relief companies of November 2026.

CNBC Select, the personal finance and consumer advice team at CNBC, says its picks are made without input from CNBC's commercial team or any outside parties. For this list, it analyzed more than a dozen U.S.-based debt relief companies on five measures:

• Fees: Favoring companies with lower fees that are transparent about pricing
• History and reputation: Considering how long each company has been operating and its overall reputation
• Third-party ratings: Weighing Trustpilot scores and Better Business Bureau ratings and reviews
• Availability: Favoring companies available in more states and offering evening and weekend customer service hours
• Services: Considering the variety of services and support each company offers

Among the companies that made the list, CNBC Select named Accredited Debt Relief best for debt resources, pointing to the free educational resources on money management it provides. Those resources are open to anyone, whether or not they enroll in a program.

"Many people struggling with debt begin by looking for answers on their own, well before they're ready to reach out to anyone," said Lauren Gordon, senior vice president of marketing at Accredited Debt Relief. "Our goal is to make sure the information they find is clear, practical and free. We're grateful CNBC Select recognized that work."
