Identity theft refers to any situation where an unscrupulous individual uses your name, credit information or other personal information in order to fraudulently achieve a goal. This can include using your name and driver's license information to commit legal infractions that will go on your criminal record, using your bank account number to take money out of your account, using your Social Security number to secure a loan, using your credit card number to make purchases with no intent of paying the money back, or using your credit profile to open up a line of credit. Identity theft is about fraud. It's about using your good name to steal. And because of this, identity theft can cost you a great deal in time, fees, emotional pain and even damage to your reputation.

IdentitySecure places an array of helpful identity protection tools right at your fingertips, and backs it up with the support you need to get the most out of your protection. Each day, IdentitySecure scans your credit files at the three national credit reporting agencies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — and alerts you of certain changes. Should an inquiry be made on your credit or a new account is opened, IdentitySecure will send you an alert apprising you of the change and give you the resources and support needed to help rectify any issues. In addition, you can receive your triple bureau credit report and VantageScore credit scores™ every 30 days, enabling you to review your entire credit profile and help ensure that it is accurate.

For your security, simply complete the authentication process on the website after you enroll in IdentitySecure. You cannot access your Credit Report and Scores or start your Credit Monitoring and Alerts until you verify your identity.
