Identity Control 360 helps guard your most valuable possession, your identity.
Identity Theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States, with one in three individuals being affected. Identity theft can be devastating and take years to correct and regain your good name.
When you enroll in Identity Control 360, one of the first things we do is place a fraud alert with each of the credit bureaus. This helps to stop identity thieves attempting to use your identity to open credit accounts. A fraud alert requires creditors to contact you directly before processing any credit requests. A fraud alert is usually effective immediately after requested. In rare cases, they must be manually placed, causing a slight delay, however we will notify you immediately and do what must be done to get the alerts set. Once your alerts have been set, we will repeat the process every 90 days to ensure the alerts stay active as long as you are enrolled. Many believe this is the same as a “credit freeze”. However, a credit freeze will completely lock your credit information from being viewed by anyone, including creditors and lenders. A freeze can be lifted by manually submitting a PIN you create at the time - and often times paying a small fee - so a creditor or lender can view your credit information for authorization purposes.
Another instant benefit, worth the cost alone, is the reduction of junk mail and pre-approved credit offers sent to your home. Numerous studies have proven that these unwanted mailings are among the most common sources of information for identity thieves, since most recipients usually just throw out their junk mail. This reduction in unwanted and unsolicited offers is perceived by many to be worth the price alone. Upon enrollment we will contact the sources of these offers on your behalf to stop these mailings. Every 90 days we repeat this process to keep these offers from reaching your home.
Enjoy immediate access to your background check results (If you order a background check from MyBackgroundCheck.com, or have a previous order on file), allowing you to monitor your personal public record for any inconsistencies. We even help you to correct erroneous information should it exist in your public record.
The results of your background check also indicate identity theft activity, as your identity can be used for criminal activity as well. Anytime you apply for a job, rental, volunteer opportunity or even an educational program, your public record will be the first thing examined. Any negative history, even if it isn’t a crime you actually committed, can severely impact your standing with these prospective employers, landlords, organizations or schools.
Knowing exactly what is on your background check allows you to enter any situation with confidence. Identity Control 360 Plus in conjunction with the acclaimed services of MyBackgroundCheck.com helps give you power over your information, from your identity to your public record history.
