LifeLock Identity Theft Protection

How it works

Essentially, we take on the bureaucracy for your organization's constituents, and use our expertise to keep their identity locks locked. That means we use our expertise to:

  1. Set and automatically renew fraud alerts with the major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. After a fraud alert has been placed in your associates’ credit file, any creditor using that credit file to grant new credit or an extension of credit in their name must contact them by telephone (using the phone number specified in the fraud alert) or take reasonable steps to verify their identity and confirm that the credit application is not the result of identity theft. If someone else is trying to use your associates’ identity to get credit, the fraud alert usually stops them cold.

  2. Remove each individual in your organization from pre-approved credit card offers. These offers create the most frequently used avenue for identity theft, so we alert every company sending out pre-approved credit offers to stop sending them to your associates.
  3. Remove each individual in your organization from junk mail lists. All a thief really needs is an individual's name and address to steal an identity, so we alert companies selling names to junk mailers that your constituents don't want their ads.
  4. Guarantee our work. Most importantly, our $1 million guarantee goes into effect immediately after an individual enrolls with us. So, the peace of mind starts immediately and lasts indefinitely.

Our System is Proactive, Not Reactive

We're often compared to credit monitoring services like those provided by the credit bureaus. Unfortunately, all of these services and their products are reactive, simply alerting you when a thief is already using your identity. You're left to clean up the mess on your own. The LifeLock system is proactive, locking down your credit information before a thief can get to it.

We proactively keep your constituents' identities safe and your organization looks like the hero. It can't get better than that.
