Q.
Do children (my grandchildren) need protecting, and is it cheaper?
A.
Yes, Teens also are more susceptible to identity theft because they are
less likely to check their credit card records and
may not even be aware of their credit record and its importance. Thieves
take advantage of these clean records and rack
up charges, ruining the victim’s credit score. The victim does not
find out until they are denied a loan,
insurance coverage or a collection agency starts calling because of the
fraudulent charges. Enroll here...

validate it is you making the request. Once the questions are answered
correctly, the line of credit
you will receive the credit for which you

Q.
What would you consider to be the two or three most important things a
consumer can do to protect his/her privacy?
A.
Set
fraud alerts! They expire every 90 days, so they will need to continually
renew them themselves or sign-up for Lifelock
at $9 per month and we not only renew the alerts, we stop most pre-approved
credit card offers and junk mail, and we back
it up with a $1 million service guarantee.
Check
your credit report every three to four months to look for fraudulent activity.
Shred
your mail and un-needed personal information. Enroll

Q.
What's the difference between fraud alerts and a credit freeze?
A.
A credit freeze locks down all of your personal information making it
impossible for anyone to open a line of credit in your
name, including you. There are also fees involved with many credit freezes.
When you place a freeze, you pay a fee. From there
on, if you want to open any new line of credit (loan, credit card, cell
phone) the freeze must be lifted; there will be
a fee for that as well.
Q.
What is the most important part of the LifeLock service?
A. The overall peace of mind you'll get when you know you are completely
protected from identity theft. Life
Lock leaves you feeling Confident,
like having a new set of
tires put on your car. Enroll
