Credit Report and Stolen Identity Safeguards *Please Read*

Yup... Whenever we go on a trip I run by the bank and let them know where I will be going.

 

Me and the wife both have Lifelock Ultra or Ultimate. Good stuff.

 

Hmmm.... I'm not so sure since I do most of this myself. I'm not really comfortable giving all my credit info over to one online service. I've already set up 90 day freezes on new credit being taken out. The rest I monitor myself. I can see this being convenient for someone that doesn't want the hassle or forgets to automatically renew the 90 freeze but other than that I think I'll pass. I'm not saying it's bad... I'm just more of a hands on type person I suppose.

...debit card = big no no...

you're better off using credit cards and verifying what's on your statement each month... you have much more protection/failsafe w/ credit cards, than debit cards...

...someone mentioned "target", ...so if the big "security breech" where millions of their "customers" were put at risk, wasn't enough, ...they recently issued a policy statement discriminating against many of their customers... sorry target, I've got my spending "sights" on your competition..
