Identity Theft Insurance

Why we like it

Don't be fooled by the amount of the insurance or warranty. The large majority of identity theft victims do not require the need for professionals to assist them in recovering their identity, which is what most of the 1 Million is set aside for. What do they need the most? Compensation for lost wages. Trusted ID offers more than double its nearest competitor for lost wages as well as a 1 Million Service Warranty.

Although IdentityGuard doesn't employ fraud alerts or credit freezes it uses a comprehensive monitoring system which includes email alerts should detect any fraud almost immediately. The quarterly updates of your credit scores with all three consumer reporting agencies make this service the most comprehensive in credit monitoring available our choice to best manage your credit file.

Proactive Defense

Why we like it

This was a very close call with Equifax. Even though TrustedID's CreditLock involves additional cost, Equifax's ID Patrol only applies a credit freeze to the Equifax report while TrustedID can apply them to all three credit reporting agencies including Equifax. It seems a little pointless to freeze only your Equifax report and not Experian or Transunion. We also found the process of locking and unlocking your reports with CreditLock to be fast and simple which is why its our pick for the best proactive defense.
