I actually did sign up for LifeLock for one of those silly promotional things. What we won’t do to earn a few extra hundred points. In any case, I ended up missing the deadline to cancel the service and paid for one month. Canceling was incredibly easy. One call, little to no hassle. Maybe they get that a lot?

Hmm I have LifeLock. I purchased it as I believed someone was in the middle of stealing my identity. I also have protection from my credit reporting agency. Maybe it’s time to save an additional $10 per month and cancel that LifeLock membership….

I was about to go on a rant, but realized that Bill Reed said what has me fuming the most. I’m so annoyed that for profit companies get a free pass on endangering our privacy and financial identities and then companies in the very same system try to get people to pay extra to protect themselves! Ahhh. Insanity.

I think these companys are not worth spending money on, the law should require
these Credit Card Bureaus to not release any information to any one with out
written authorization from the person being checked on or at least talked to. I put a fraud alert on our credit accounts for 90 days but then if I wanted them to continue I had to have copies of police reports and proof that my ID had been stolen. When I applied to buy a new car I received a call from the bank saying I had an alert on my information and was required to talk with me direct and verify that I applied for a loan. It should be that way all the time, why shoud we have to search out companies like this and cannot do what they say they can do.

It’s true it is free to do yourself. You can call one of the Credit Reporting Agencies and tell them you want to put a “freeze” on your report then no one is allowed to access you report (to steal your identity). Even if YOU give a company authorization to pull your report, if it’s been “frozen” – they still can’t without you lifting the freeze.
