Has anyone ever used lifelock or a similar product? My husband sees that they are on the Nascar circuit now and he is questioning if they would be worth it. I think not, I think that you can keep an eye on your own stuff, but wanted to see what you guys thought about this company or one that does similar work?

Hello goodnatured
What is the lifelock system you are talking about, can you explain it to me.

Lifelock provides identity theft protection which prevents your identity from being stolen. Lifelock is mostly used by people who are victims of identity theft or if you want to prevent yourself from identity theft. Once you become a member of lifelock, fraud alerts are requested on your behalf to the three major credit reporting agencies and once fraud alert services are established, the creditors need to verify your identity before opening any new credit accounts or issuing any new credit cards.

I've never use it, but, I've seen ads on TV about it. I had my wallet stolen, about 4 to 5 years ago, and I put an Alert on my credit myself. I know the Alert stayed on my credit for 1 year. I remember the ad, about Lifelock, saying there is a monthly fee to the 'program'. It SOUNDS good anyway. You might want to see if you can find anything about it on the Web.

My husband wanted to know about it, my stand is that if I can't get a credit card right now with my credit, how the heck is somebody else going to? He sees things like they are sponsoring nascar so it came to his attention there, the commercials have been out there forever, he did not notice until it was on a nascar vehicle.

Even if your credit is 'not perfect', you'll be surprised WHAT people can do and HOW they do it, to steal identities. I've read alot on Identity Theft and it's really scary. I don't know how some people can live with themselves, trying to 'be somoene else' ( lack of a better word).

They are crooks, crooks don't care who or what they affect, they only want to have their fun with your credit, the more the better.

I meant the person who steals your identity.

Are there a lot of bad things on the "rip off" report? I just seen them on Montel Williams and people were swearing by them.

Actually, I think that identity theft mostly occurs when we sign in for free services with the credit repair agencies. This usually happens while we share our personal information; social security number, address, names etc for verification. Not all companies are fraud. Companies who take advantage of these information and use it for their benefit are mostly frauds. Always try to avoid these companies.

Yes, identity theft can also occur when your wallet gets stolen with your credit cards and identification cards. Moreover, someone can get access to your identity by stealing utility bills, bank statement or tax information from your mail box.

I always burn mine in our outdoor furnace so there is nothing left of them to get any information from.

That is a pretty good idea, getting rid of any mail by shredding or burning it, no chance of anyone using it for identity theft that way.

I've had lifelock for a couple months now. They requested free credit reports for me and placed alerts. I always get tips on how to protect my identity now through email. If my identity gets stolen somehow, then lifelock will pay me and repair everything. The way things are going in these last few years makes me not mind paying a couple a couple dollars for it to be safe. Everyone in my home has it.

Like everything else, there are ups and downs to it. I have not felt the effects of the downs yet, other than paying for the service and not seeing how the service is helping me, other than knowing my identity is safe.
