Procrastinating Pays a Price
  It is evident there is a need to protect individuals regarding identity theft and fraud. A slew of credit monitoring and protection products promise to notify the subscriber when there has been a change in their credit report or when there appears to be suspicious activity with one of their accounts, by then it is too late. The majority of these services are reselling credit monitoring services, which provide no preventative features.

Be Pro-active, Not Re-active
Banks, credit-card companies and data brokers are pushing two basic kinds of identity protection: insurance plans that reimburse an individual for some out-of-pocket expenses from theft, and credit monitoring services that alert an individual when certain new information comes up at one of the three major credit bureaus. The increase in services offered validates the need within the marketplace of such services. Credit monitoring does nothing to repair the damage from identity theft and like most identity theft services go into effect after an individual’s identity has already been compromised and therefore are classified as reactive, not proactive, in nature.

Identity Theft Protection
Life Lock made the decision to develop a solution that was preventive rather than reactive. This is achieved by placing fraud alerts at the three major credit bureaus, Experian, Trans Union, Equifax and a consumer-reporting agency for depository accounts called ChexSystems. These fraud alerts allow only the consumer who has placed the alerts the authority to utilize his or her own credit. LifeLock has also uniquely positioned itself by being the only company to back up the preventive actions by guaranteeing the effectiveness of the service.

Additional services provided are:

  • Alerting the Direct Marketing Association companies that sell individual names to junk mailers. This drastically reduces the amount of junk mail to consumers. This is important because all that is needed is an individual’s name and address to steal their identity. The fewer times it is printed, the better.
  • Ensuring the process of applying for credit goes smoothly. This support does not mean we will improve the client’s credit rating but rather make sure when they do apply for credit; LifeLock will help expedite the process. Every lock an individual has, on a car, on a home, on an office, requires some inconvenience to use. With fraud alerts, the credit-granting process stops until the company that is using the individual’s credit report verbally contacts the client. This is especially true when an individual is applying for instant credit, and they may be declined or put into a pending status. When an individual is our client, this process will be facilitated to ensure efficiency.

Protecting Personal Data

Personal information has become the currency of choice for criminals because the credit system allows consumers with a good credit rating to easily set up lines of credit until fraud is detected.

Thieves would rather steal an individual’s reputation than what is in his wallet. Compromised data are routinely bought and sold by individuals and organized crime through Internet chat rooms, electronic-payment systems and online casinos.

The data can pop up anywhere — from Russia, where credit card numbers are ripe for the picking on Web sites, to the Middle East, where terrorist groups finance operations through ID theft, and South Central Los Angeles, where street gangs do the same.
