Identity Theft Service Reviews

One of the services that this site offers is to conduct identity theft service reviews for consumers to help them make educated selection of the available services in the market.

As you know, there is an abundant selection of identity theft services in the market today. These services provide many solutions including identity theft prevention, identity fraud detection and fraud resolution support. Although the various services are offered under different names and by numerous companies, the service features are somewhat overlapping and sometimes confusing. Most of the services are automated whereby an identity is systemically monitored to detect fraud in various areas such as credit monitoring to detect unauthorized new accounts opened in victim’s name in which case the victim receives an e-mail notification pointing to a potentially unauthorized transaction. Or, a fraud alert is automatically placed on a credit report every 90 days to prevent an unauthorized financial transaction in the name of a victim. Consumers must be aware that they can protect their identities without any third party service such as placing credit report fraud alerts by contacting the credit bureaus directly or obtain their credit report free of charge every 12 months from the credit report agencies through www.annualcerditreport.com due to recent changes in the consumer privacy laws under FACTA. However, I personally use some of these services because of their automation aspect, which provides a piece of mind that my identity is continuously protected. For example, I may forget to renew my initial fraud alert every 90 days thus jeopardizing my identity protection.

On the other hand, once you make your decision about a particular identity theft service and its features, how do you determine the quality of the service? There are many ways you can obtain information about the quality of a service. First, you can ask friends and family members who might be members of a particular service or you might research and read about identity theft service reviews online. The worst thing to do would be to call the company and ask them if their service is of the highest quality.

This site provides reviews of limited identity theft services to a) educate consumers about the specific service features and usefulness, b) point out the overlaps with other services preventing additional costs, and c) describe the quality of the service as it is. I personally subscribe to limited services to experience the service quality level. Although, my observation does not provide full assurance regarding the service quality, it provides reasonable amount of actual information to help consumers make educated decisions. For example, the use of a service for identity theft service reviews will not immediately detect a failure when the automated system fails to notify me of a change in my public records, however, I can have a better idea of the identity theft service quality overtime. In other cases such as the automatic placement of the fraud alert, I will be able to detect the failure by reviewing my credit report.

In conclusion, independent and professional identity theft service reviews provide the best information for selecting an identity theft service. Although some family members and friends may be able to express their honest opinion about a service they actually use, they might not have the required expertise to detect any potential service flaws or overlaps with other services they might be using.
