Common inquiries concerning credit monitoring services and identity theft

When someone steals your personal information, such as your Social Security, credit card, or driver's licence number, they are committing identity theft. They will use this information to apply for loans and credit cards, accrue debt, and engage in other unlawful acts using your name. Once it occurs, it is difficult to fix. The typical identity theft case may require hundreds of hours to handle and may be stressful on the body and mind.

Sadly, not all instances of identity theft will appear on your credit record. As a result, the theft won't appear on your credit report. Identity thieves can take your identity without using your credit. This kind of "non-credit" theft can happen in a variety of ways. Identity thieves may take your mail and ask the USPS to forward it to a different address (a practise known as mail identity theft) or they may use a component of your identity, such as your Social Security number, to obtain a high-interest payday loan. Following a data breach, cybercriminals can also purchase the details of your bank account on the dark web in order to withdraw money from it (known as financial account takeover). The CyberAgent/Dark Web Monitoring function of IDnotify notifies you if your information is discovered on the anonymous online market frequented by ID thieves.

When you sign up for IDnotify, it actively searches the internet for your personal information and notifies you via alerts if it discovers any strange activity, such as a piece of your identity being discovered on the dark web. Details on what to do will be included in your alerts.

To restore your identity, a licenced identity restoration specialist will assist you. If IDnotify conducts an investigation and finds evidence of identity theft, it will walk you through the procedure step-by-step and take action on your behalf to have it resolved. A professional will: • Consult with the three credit bureaus to place a fraud warning or security freeze on your credit report. • Consult with the three credit bureaus to place a fraud warning or security freeze on your credit report. • Review your credit report for any indications of identity theft.
