Protecting your family should be at the top of every parent’s list of importance. I know it definitely is for myself and my husband. We have taken many measures to be sure our family is protected, however a few years ago we learned the hard way about what could happen when your identity or credit is compromised and someone tries to steal from you. You see, we had someone make charges on a credit card of ours. Luckily our credit card company was able to figure things out and realized this was not us making these charges, however we might not have been so lucky the next time, so we decided that making sure our identity and credit was protected was very important to us.
Credit monitoring is important, however simply monitoring your credit is not a proactive way to protect yourself from identity theft. Lifelock offers so much peace of mind and safety to their customers through not only credit monitoring, but also scanning, restoring, guaranteeing their services and tracking your credit score. They bring so much more to the table than I could ever do on my own.
One of the really nice things is that you can monitor what they are doing by logging into Lifelock’s secure member portal at anytime so that you can review alerts and notifications. Here you can also get tips on how to help better protect yourself and your family in the future, and you can even talk to Member Services if you need a little more help in understanding something.
As I mentioned, Lifelock is always scanning for potential threats. Their technology searches for potential misuse of your Social Security number, name, address or date of birth in applications for credit and services. They will even send you alerts via text, phone call, email or through the mobile app. This makes it easy for you to respond immediately to confirm if the activity is indeed you or if it is fraudulent, using their Not Me verification technology.
Lifelock’s patented Identity Alert system allows them to notify you as soon as they detect a threat to your identity which will help stop thieves before they do damage.
We are pretty pleased with all that Lifelock is doing to keep families safe and credit under control. In my younger years I had no idea how important credit is. As a busy Mom I am always happy to know that there is someone out there that is willing to keep an eye on me and my family’s credit even when we are unaware of what might be going on.
Peace of mind and being able to relax is definitely an added bonus!
