      Worst company I have ever encountered in 25 years in this country. Don’t believe me, try it for yourself. Good luck even trying to speak to a human being. Just imagine if your identity was stolen. You will never get anyone to even answer the phone. Report this business to the Federal Trade Commission. Everyone that has been rip off should call. Wish 0 star could be an option.

      Shady and HORRIBLE customer service. My husband and I purchased two IdentityForce accounts (on the same day) more than a year ago (maybe 1.5 to 2 years ago) via an offer through BJs Wholesale. If you've never signed up for one of these services, it takes some time entering in all your credit card info and social media information, but you are thinking it is a one and done situation (assuming you change services on your own). The service seemed fine as we were getting email updates on credit and social media status, etc.

      I went to login to my account to record a new card in March 2024, and while my login was successful, I was given a message that my account had no services, but I paid for the year in July 2023 and the payment was on our credit card statement. My husband was able to login to his account and see his credit reports. I called support multiple times before I got someone (with an accent, so could have been offshore). I was told a case was raised to higher support. I called back several days later to check status. I got the same rep. And was placed on hold then after a long wait, the call dropped. I called back and got someone else with an accent too... He told me (and my husband) that the BJs service offering was dropped in October 2023 and we should have been notified - we weren't.

      We asked: 1) Why am I (and my husband) getting emails saying no issues on my credit if I/we was/were cancelled in October? 2) Why were we not informed and even offered continuation of services at the non-discounted price? (we would have bought them because all our information was already logged there) 3) Why is my husband's account was still functional and why is he able to see information?

      We were told all this was an oversight and that we would be refunded our costs... That was March 2024. We still have not received the refund (it's now May). I called IdentiForce to get status. The first call required leaving a message as "no one was available to help me" and was told that when they do call back "it will be an 800 number and they will only call back once" implying that if I don't answer, the issue is me. I got a call back the next day and the rep agreed that it was strange and that she would escalate it (she did not have an accent).

      She called ~5 days later and informed my husband and I that the original information that we were given was correct: agreement with BJs was no longer in place and we were cancelled. We should have been notified, but they don't know why we weren't notified. They don't know why my husband's account still works, we will (both) be given a refund that will take 4-6 weeks to process. Plus she gave us this new information to some of our questions: we would need to re-sign up for another account if we want service. We will need to supply all our financial and personal information again since it would be a new account.

      So we are now worried about the information we originally supplied. Was it indeed confidential? (Remember the first two reps had accents so we are worried on who they are and where they could have been located in the world.) It seems shady. I would give zero stars if I could and would NEVER recommend their services to anyone.

        I created my IdentityForce account two days ago, and I've had nothing but grief trying to use it. I have placed a call to their customer service number and been told that a tech person would get back to me (which they haven't done), and I've sent an email to them detailing a seemingly errant issue with their software. Again, no response on their part. Based upon my experiences, I cannot endorse this product.

        My experience with bank accounts having to delete and re-enter my same information has become a hassle. Otherwise I trust Identity Force. I hope this resolves shortly. I love my reports sent to me and gives me peace that Identity Force is protecting me.

        Our bank account was compromised and there was no notice from you whatsoever. Someone, unbeknownst to us, "washed" one of our personal checks. We found this out ourselves and ended up going to the bank to try to resolve it.

        I've had my credit cards hacked. My home equity loan was hacked and I've heard nothing from your company. I just found out that someone shared $74 000 on my home equity account. This is a complete waste of money! I get better service with the free Equifax service.

        Called because another free service informed me my phone numbers were found on the dark net. We were getting phone calls and texts for the person named as using it. I called you and got nothing more than a shoulder shrug, no explanation as to why my PAID service did not find this or alert me. Voiced a complaint on your contact us page and still heard nothing back. Will not renew next year and you can be sure I will not recommend this service.

        I was previously with Freedom ID for many years until I stopped receiving a monthly charge for services. Upon investigation and several phone calls, I was told my account had been frozen. With the help of a very professional staff who were also very patient and courteous, we restarted my account…. A job well done by all…. A humble thank you!

        Called in, had an issue. I couldn’t understand the representative. Called back thinking bad connection - same result Accent so heavy, could not understand. I’m used to dealing with offshore call centers. You need to be more selective. I mean I really could not understand them.
