Questions before you decide

Can an identity-protection service prevent identity theft?

No service can prevent every form of identity theft. Monitoring services can alert you to certain signals and may offer recovery support, but you still need to protect accounts, review statements, and act quickly on suspicious activity.

What is a credit freeze?

A credit freeze restricts access to your credit report, which can make it harder for someone to open new credit in your name. It is free to place and lift. Contact each nationwide credit bureau to manage a freeze.

What should I do if I think someone used my identity?

Contact the affected bank, card issuer, or business promptly. Then use IdentityTheft.gov for a free recovery plan that matches your situation and helps you create the records and letters you may need.

What does identity-theft insurance cover?

Coverage varies. It may cover certain recovery expenses, such as lost wages or legal costs, but it does not necessarily reimburse money taken by a thief. Read the policy’s limits, deductible, exclusions, and claims process before relying on it.
