LifeLock complaints and the FTC settlement: What’s the real story?

There’s an interesting blog post at GuardMyCreditFile.com regarding LifeLock’s recent settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. The website belongs to the American Consumer Credit Education Support Services (ACCESS), a non-profit consumer advocacy organization whose primary purpose is to disseminate credit education information and assistance to the public.

In the article, the ACCESS author addresses the FTC’s principle complaints against LifeLock: That LifeLock’s CEO, Todd Davis, assured their 1.6 million members that LifeLock provides ironclad, absolute protection against identity theft. Secondly, the FTC took exception to Davis’ flagrant display of his personal Social Security number in print ads, TV commercials, the company website—even on the side of a truck in Manhattan. The FTC asserts Davis misused his own Social Security number.

Both of these allegations are feeble. (more…)

LifeLock and Life Quotes team up to protect consumers and help them save money

LifeLock has partnered with Life Quotes to bring more consumers an opportunity for more complete identity theft protection to safeguard their personal finances and their personally identifying information.

It is a perfectly logical marriage of the leaders in their respective industries. LifeLock has long been considered the industry leader in proactive identity theft protection services, and Life Quotes was the first company to provide consumers with comprehensive insurance comparison services.

The collaboration also joins two companies committed to serving consumers looking for the best value in the products that protect their families and finances. That mission has become doubly important at a time when so many families are affected by the economic downturn.

“Through this partnership with LifeLock, we hope to provide our users with a necessary tool for helping to protect against identity theft. Just as life insurance and other forms of insurance are important protection measures, an identity theft service is crucial to keeping a stronger hold on finances.” (more…)

LifeLock reviews: My firsthand account

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

So far, so good. I’m six months into my new LifeLock membership, and so far everything has gone just like they said it would.

I received my notice that I would no longer receive pre-approved credit offers within a few days. Hallelujah! ID thieves steal mail as one of the most common methods of ID theft, and every time I pulled a credit offer with a check out of my mailbox, I worried about whether there had been others I’d missed.

Because of the work I do, I know that a common ID theft technique is to change the victim’s address to divert mail and obtain personal and financial information. LifeLock’s TrueAddress™ monitors address changes and confirms that if my address is changed, it’s because I changed it.

I received my credit reports within just a couple weeks. We’re all supposed to review our credit reports annually, and with LifeLock, it gets done. Only 36% of Americans actually follow that advice, and it’s a relief to be among the 64% who do. (more…)

But, if you want to go with the company that offers the most and does it for less than its biggest competitors, you need to know why those 1.5 million customers chose LifeLock. (more…)
