Who has it???

Can someone please explain what it does and why there are different plans.

Is it worth getting?

That's not what I was asking. I want to hear from someone who actually has it and want to know what it has done for them.

TIA again....

I have heard Identity Guard more recommended by financial experts than Life Lock. I would check out them all thoroughly because each offer things that may be more important to each person so it is important to figure out what suits you best.

It really comes down to if you want to do it on your own because you can do almost all of the stuff that services like these offer on your own with a little work besides the $1million dollar guarantee which a lot of insurances cover to a certain extent. We have a fraud alert on all of the reporting agencies just like LifeLock does and verification is a must before any credit companies issue credit. We have signed up for the Drivers Protection Act through the DMV which is also a service that LL does. A lot of info can be gained through the DMV so that is important to do. Since my husband is in wealth management he does have access to some of the same software that businesses like this do. We have opted out of all credit card offers that can be sent through the mail.

I think it comes down to how much you would like to do yourself. If our income was $50,000 a year, I don't think we would bother with this service. If my husband didn't have the same know how to do some of this stuff, I don't think we would bother with this service but if we made a good amount of income with lots of available credit and he didn't have the know how to protect ourselves, we most likely would look at one these financial services.

Good luck on whatever you chose to do.

No problem. Any information is better than none..... Thanks. I am on the fence about getting it. I don't see where the benefit is. Like you say, a lot of things are insured anyway and we do have Fraud Alerts with the credit agencies.

But, I'm still open to any other information out there.

Thanks again......

Try a search. This topic was covered recently, with a large number of replies.

Thanks. I just did a search and sure enough, I had started a thread awhile back because a couple of my cards were hacked and I guess a couple of my boys have it and I wanted more information.

Thanks tansy - I never would have thought of looking for it. It came up immediately. I will start reading the replies and maybe learn some more about it.

How quickly I forget......

Then you can just Google "user reviews LifeLock"; it's so much quicker and easier than starting a thread, IMHO.

You can do that with just about anything, and you don't have to wait for replies at the Q.

LOL...I didn't remember that you were the OP or I would have teased you

Ay yi yi - I thought this was about those food containers.

To stay on topic - my understanding is that Life Lock really doesn't do anything beyond what you can do for yourself.

And you would have won too because I still don't remember even starting that.....

The only reason I started it tonight was because my husband was out walking the dog and met a friend/neighbor, whose wife's identity was stolen. They got her name, SS# and b/d and started opening accounts at department stores, etc....

I don't get why they can't "freeze" her bank acct. Oh, maybe because it's in both their names?? I don't remember what he told me - it was so convoluted and the neighbor said his wife is paranoid - afraid of using a card anywhere, etc... She said she recently gave someone (over the phone) her bank account number and now she's hysterical because she said she didn't make the call and nobody is supposed to ask for that information.

Identity theft is getting worse every day. I'm glad at least, I got my cards cancelled and accounts closed and none of my cards are being used. (at least for now.....) Scary........
