Not long ago, I would have read this and thought “Why on earth are they selling plans for children?”
Not anymore. It seems like every day I read or hear about someone using a child’s social security number to obtain employment or run some kind of scam. Protecting our child's identity is just as important as protecting our own.
Yes Cynthia, children are the fastest growing segment of the population that is getting taken advantage of by identity thieves. It's definitely something that is necessary in this day and age. It's only going to get worse before it gets better until people really pay attention to their children's credit.
Really? I would've never considered that but it makes sense. Most of those kids are years away from being able to use it anyways so I guess a thief could almost destroy their online identity before they would even know. Some people are sick.
You would be surprised of how many people are crazy and don't care about ruining peoples' lives. The internet has been around for roughly 20 years so this is still relatively new to how long humanity has been around. It's something people need to wrap their heads around.
Yes, I've heard and read about the importance of even monitoring kids due to situations like you've just described. For a small price, you get to protect your children's lives.
It's so important to have your children monitored. They are easy targets for identity thieves. You said it perfectly, for a nominal monthly fee, you protect their future.
After reading your review I'm starting to realize that protecting my children's data is even more important than protecting my own. How do identity thieves get hold of kids' data? Through social media? Now instead of looking for a data protection plan for myself only, I'll have to take a closer look at the plans offering child monitoring.
Identity Thieves can get your children's data from multiple sources. Your doctor's office. Your child's bank account. Family members including parents have been known to steal their identities as well. An example of an identity thief creating a fake tax return is as follows: Since there's no file for a child's social security number, an identity thief can add any name and birthdate with their social security number. They file and receive the return. It will literally take years for the IRS to catch wind (if they even find out) and notify that there is fraudulent activity associated with that social security number. That's just one scenario of what can happen Kamila. It can get scary.
I like the idea that you and your team are experts at this. If this ever happened to me I’d have no idea how to handle it. Better to leave situations like this to the pros.
That's exactly my sentiment. If you get audited by the IRS, would you want to handle it yourself, or would you want an expert like a tax accountant dealing with it???? Yeah, I would choose the expert over myself all day. Same thing when it comes to your identity.
Your prices seem really reasonable, especially when I think of the trouble something like this can cause.
My friend had his identity stolen two years ago, and he’s still dealing with the fall out. I’ve been looking for a security plan for myself – I’m glad I saw your ad
Our prices are cheaper than signing up with Identity Guard through their site. It's a no brainer in my opinion. The average person spends over 300 hours trying to fix their credit and identity once their identity has been compromised. Why not have them do it for you so you can continue to live your life as normal.
I’m glad that you virus software for my computer. That matters a lot to me. I also like the idea that if I lose my wallet you can give me access to emergency cash. I had just such a problem on vacation one time and could have used this service.
That is a huge perk that most identity theft protection companies don't offer. I love how they offer that for their members. The emergency cash is vital when you are abroad. That is also a feature that no other company can replicate.
I've been reviewing identity theft protection services and I like a lot of your features, but I have a few questions about your coverage and some specific details. Is there someone that I could talk to in person?
Hi Constance, you can email us with any questions you may @ help@noidentitytheft.com or you can call Identity Guard directly to get any questions that you need answered. There number is 1-800-452-2541.
I like that they have plans that fit my budget. I did not
have a bunch of money to pay each month, but I knew I needed to protect my identity
as well as my families. I like that I can get a plan for my children if I ever
need one because the elderly are not the only people that can get taken
advantage of when it comes to identity theft. This services has opened my eyes
to some of the outrages things criminals will do just to ruin your credit. I was
watching the news the today about how one ladies credit card information was
stolen at a coffee shop, and used later to buy goods from a clothing store by the
coffee shop employee. I’m sure she was using a identity theft protection plan
which alerted her of the unusual purchase which is amazing. These plans will
pay for themselves if you ever need to use them (According to my CPA).
You are right Anansi. Identity thieves are everywhere. They can be a server at a restaurant, a customer service rep at a clothing store, your next door neighbor, or in my case, my business partner. You have to be very careful with who you shop or do business with.
Oh no, your business partner - that's terrible! You really have to be careful who you trust, especially in this say and age. Unfortunately, I hear these kinds of stories all the time. This is definitely a good reason why you should have identify theft protection, and based on your in-depth review, Identity Guard definitely sounds like a good option
Yeah Kelly, my own friend and business partner. He impersonated me and did over 50 fraudulent transactions in my name. He fled the country and stuck me with all the headache. I learned the lesson of trusting people the hard way. That's why I created this site so people don't end up with the nightmare that I experienced.
Credit card fraud and identify theft are becoming major threats to consumer credit. I've worked hard for years to make sure my credit rating was excellent, but I know it wouldn't take much effort for someone to ruin it. Since the only way to protect yourself is to spot the fraud as soon as possible I'm looking for information about identity theft protection. Thanks for reviewing the plans and making my search easier.
Hi Jim, the whole reason I started this site is because I was someone who had a 800 credit score and it was all taken away from me because I had my identity stolen. This is something I truly want to get out into the open because I don't want to see anyone go through the misery that I endured. Glad you found the information on this site helpful.
That seems terrible. I bet you weren't able to get any loans as a result? How did you manage to recover your credit score? What did it take to solve the whole situation? I never thought about getting a data protection plan, but now I'm starting to consider it.
No, I wasn't able to get any loans for a few years until I built my credit little by little. I started by getting a secured credit card and after a year it became unsecured. Then I applied for a few more credit cards and built my way back. I wish I had a company like Identity Guard when I was dealing with all the drama. That $1 million dollar guarantee could have helped me greatly with getting my identity back on track. You should definitely get some protection Kamila. Take it from me.....
The time I lost my credit cards, I was so insane and scrambling to call all the issuers as fast as I could that I completely forgot the fact that I didn't have any cash! Thank goodness I was able to borrow some money just to get through the next couple of days.
The fact that the "extras" are so well thought-out speaks very highly of this company. The wallet protection is amazing, and I REALLY want keyboard encryption, as I'm constantly nervous about someone hacking into my computer and getting all my passwords.
Someone else in the comments here picked up on the fact that it's very wise to protect the identity of a child, too. People can stalk you in many creative ways and won't hesitate to go after a child's info if they can get it. Kudos to you for helping parents safeguard against this. :)
I am with you on that keyboard encryption! I worry all the time about something like this happening! It’s probably because of all the movies I see where hackers just gather information from unknowing victims and they do it with such an ease that it’s just scary. I know this can happen in real life if you aren’t protected and that’s why I’m looking for an identity guard type of service. Will probably give this service a shot and see how things go – I really want to feel safe again.
Keyboard encryption is a wonderful perk while being an Identity Guard member. Hackers are so good at dropping in taking your personal info without you knowing. Having keyboard encryption software gives you the peace of mind knowing that you don't have to worry about getting taken advantage of.
We love Identity Guard's lost wallet protection. They will give you up to $2,000 if you lose your wallet and you have no way of getting some money. No other competitor does this. It's a fantastic service that separates them from the rest of the pack. They also give anti-virus and keyboard encryption program which is another perk that is wonderful.
Why not get the Platinum for only $5 more? I would certainly want my credit score updates every month.
Hi Martin, you make a good point. Considering companies like True Credit charge $29.99 just to check your credit, adding an extra $5 for monthly credit monitoring and alerts seems to be a pretty smart investment. From 2001-2015 the number one consumer complaint to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was ID theft. The odds are about 25% that you will suffer the consequences of a data breach and being able to spot the red flags on your credit report before the problem gets out of hand is essential to keep your financial details safe in 2016.
Really good review article. We are looking for a new way for protection as two months ago we were victims of a bizarre identity theft. I couldn't believe that people can do such thing or that want to make such awful damage to anyone. Hopefully my and my family's credit cards will be safe. I bought Identity Guard and I like it so far!
Good job Tim! Identity Guard is on point with their alerts. It's the peace of mind that I like most by having identity theft protection. I also don't have time to fiddle with all the paperwork and phone calls if a breach ever happens to occur. I love how they take care of all of that.
