Identity theft is often in the news these days and we are warned to be extra careful as to how we dispose of our bank and credit card statements because the simple truth is that identity theft can truly happen to anyone and very often the first that person is aware of it, is when he or she is refused a loan or has been turned down for credit.

Becoming a victim of identity theft has far reaching connotations, apart from the fact their credit rating being destroyed; identity theft is a very personal and devastating crime.

Lifelok who are the industry leaders in protecting the general public from identity theft offer a million dollar guarantee to anyone who subscribes to their service and yet falls foul of this crime whilst under their protection.

Lifelok do charge for this service, currently $10 a month but do readily admit that people could protect themselves for free if they have time to keep up to date with news laws and the various processes required by the credit bureaus. Essentially Lifelok provide peace of mind and freedom from the tedious process of managing the administrative side of this process.

One benefit of belonging to this service is that Lifelok contact the member direct if anyone attempts to obtain credit using the member’s name and that the credit request is actually a valid one.  The company are so positive that they can protect the identity of the general consumers that the head of Lifelok publicly displays his social security number on the website.

The service is fairly comprehensive and consists of:

Fraud alerts are set with the credit bureaus-often within an hour and requested again every ninety days.

The member’s’ details are removed from junk mail lists and pre-approved credit card databases.

Credit reports are ordered from all of the major credit bureaus and sent directly to the member every year.

Help is at hand if a wallet and card details go missing as a Walletlock specialist will be on hand to help the member contact all the card companies.

The recovery of the member’s good name is also included as part of the service and includes hiring case managers and lawyers etc.

Lifelok are different from many of the other identity theft services in that they take a hands-on approach to preventing the theft from occurring in the first instance and there are many positive reviews, which seem to endorse the credibility and success of this company. During 2003-2005, a staggering 28.3 million people were known victims of identity theft.

The harsh reality is that identity theft is big business for those who deliberately assume another’s identity and destroy their credit rating, and it is paramount that the theft is discovered as soon as possible so as to limit the amount of damage that can be done.

This is another reason why registering with a company such as Lifelok can protect the innocent from identity theft and provide the member with complete peace of mind.
