Leading credit reporting agency Experian has entered the identity theft protection market with their new product, ProtectMyID. ProtectMyID offers a number of features which rival any of the older identity theft protection companies, and some which are not offered by them.
Features
Perhaps the best feature which is offered by the ProtectMyID service is the ability to have unauthorized credit and debit card purchases fully backed by the company. If any fraudulent charges occur, ProtectMyID will incur the cost so you owe absolutely nothing. This feature extends to your children’s identities as well. With ProtectMyID, you will be alerted the instant someone tries to set up an account under your child’s name.
Recovery
While prevention measures are great to have, and ProtectMyID offers some of the best in the industry, identity theft can still occur. Knowing this, ProtectMyID offers up to $1 million insurance in the unlikely even that your identity is compromised. This $1 will go to paying any fees or costs you might incur in the identity recovery process. In addition to this, you’ll have Experian’s Fraud Resolution Department working side by side with you to help reclaim your identity.
Customer Support
Experian realizes that customer service assistance is very important, and this is no different at ProtectMyID. This is why they are reachable 24 hours a day by email, and 6am to 6pm PST on weekdays via the phone, and 8am to 5pm PST on weekends.
Prices
ProtectMyID is a new and improving service, which means customers will receive a 30 day free trial, with plans starting at the low price of $9.95 after the trial expires. Since ProtectMyID is backed by Experian, a leading credit reporting company, there’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t trust ProtectMyID with your family’s identities in order to make sure both you and your children are safe from identity theft.
