Lifelock, Identity Force, Credit Monitoring Services???

[Rafael Norat]

Does anyone have experience with credit monitoring services as such? I recently had an identity theft issue and am considering options on how to better protect myself..

Any opinions/ thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Once a year, you are entitled to a free copy of your reports from all 3 bureaus - to get them go to www.annualcreditreport.com - you should check it at least once a year to make sure everything is accurate. Now, if you are looking to be more proactive, I recommend Identity Force, they give you access to your reports + scores every 3 months (in addition to the fee annual), and they also send you alerts if someone opens new accounts in your name.
