    My son and I are currently battling this company as they are refusing to cancel his subscription after he sent a notarized letter demanding it. They should be criminally charged for fraud. They are ignoring all his requests to cancel and pretending they never received it. I have proof of delivery. I am going to hire a consumer protection attorney as I have proof that this company is purposely attempting to force my son into a contract with them without his consent. This is not over. Please stay away from this company at all costs.

    IDShield monitors your passport, your social security number, your drivers license, your medical id, your store cards, your birthdate, your IRA--all in addition to the normal bank accounts and credit cards. They let you set thresholds on each account and you are quickly alerted if the threshold is exceeded. If it is your transaction you simply mark it as reviewed and dismiss the alert. If it isn't you can call in 24/7 and talk with a licensed fraud investigator. I have been alerted of a credit check while I was still on the phone with a loan officer. I was also alerted right away when I made a sale in my IRA that exceeded the threshold I had set. I also called IDShield when I wasn't sure whether I should click on an email and they advised me not to--it was a phishing email. Excellent service--very prompt and informed.

    After Equifax breach in 2017, I paid IDshield 19.95/mth to protect my husband's and my credit. In Feb/2019 both our social security numbers were obtain fraudulently and IDShield never notified us. Ever. We just discovered this breach in 11/2020 when we went to obtain a routine credit report. Their response to the BBB complaint that I submitted was they created a new system in 1/2019 which I did not activate (never was made aware of this) and so it was not their fault, but they still collected their monthly fees. They really did a very poor job and I will not use them again. If you are considering their services I would use someone else. Very disappointed in their efforts. I dealt with the identity theft on my own and cancelled my service with them immediately.
