Be Thankful For A Safe Identity

This holiday season, early detection could make all the difference.

There are many things for which to be thankful this holiday season, and we want a safe identity to be on your list. The shopping, traveling and hectic nature of the holiday season increases the risk for identity theft, but you can help protect yourself with proactive identity scanning and credit monitoring from a credit protection company. These services provide early detection capabilities that can save you countless hours and dollars needed to restore your identity should it be compromised.

Enjoy peace of mind with proactive internet black market identity scanning.

A credit protection company can scan important information not included in your credit report to help prevent identity theft, such as:

-- Utility records (electric, cable, etc.)

-- Check orders from your bank

-- Payday loans

-- Peer to peer lending

Have more confidence as you shop in stores and online for holiday gifts. Proactive identity scanning involves monitoring hundreds of public record databases to ensure proper use of and access to your personal information. If your credit protection company detects anything unusual with information such as your credit card, bank account or Social Security numbers, you will receive a timely alert that you can address before the real damage is done.

Get credit monitoring, reports and scores from all 3 bureaus.

An identity theft protection company can monitor all of your credit activity with the three major credit bureaus - Experian®, Equifax® and TransUnion®, and if something unusual is detected, you're alerted immediately to take action. Instant online access to your credit reports from the 3 major credit bureaus is also available to help make sure no one has accessed and used your personal information as a result of the holiday shopping rush. Also included in your credit protection, is access to all three of your credit scores--the same scores lenders see when determining your eligibility for a loan or line of credit.

Further secure access to your credit with Credit Lock.

A CreditLock service lets you place a credit freeze to lock down access to your credit. This means the three major credit bureaus are not able to release your credit report to any third parties without your permission. Therefore, creditors won't be able to grant new credit, and identity thieves will be less likely to be able to open new accounts in your name. It is important to note that a credit freeze requires a few days to lock and unlock your credit, so CreditLock may not be for you if you are currently trying to open new lines of credit.

This Thanksgiving, you can be grateful knowing that your credit protection company has your back. We're happy to keep a watchful eye on your personal and financial information while you enjoy the holiday with family and friends.
