Identity Theft - Are you protected?

I don't think a day goes by where we don't read about, or hear about Identity Theft. As a mortgage lender, I see many credit reports in a given week, and sadly, I have seen several credit profiles where customers had experienced ID Theft resulting in problems for these unsuspecting customers.

There is a service called, Identity Theft Shield, offered by Kroll Background America and sold by Pre Paid Legal Services, that can help you have protection against ID Theft.

With the Identity Theft Shield, you get a free copy of your credit report (you should look at your credit report at least annually), credit monitoring (you are notified of inquiries into your credit files), and (the most important) credit RESTORATION. This is the only company that offers credit restoration as a benefit of an ID Theft program. The programs sold by your credit card companies only protect the card company really, but with Identity Theft Shield, ALL areas of your Identity are protected including:

- consumer credit
- driving records
- healthcare records
- police records
- any means of Identity that can be used against you.

Wouldn't you rather have piece of mind knowing that you will not be accused of a crime you didn't commit, be turned down for insurance for a health problem that you don't have, or be denied credit, or charged higher than normal rates because someone has maliciously used your credit?

Apply online and receive full coverage for yourself (and spouse if applicable).

Until next time,
