Somebody stole my identity so I decided to get an identity theft protection. I've heard good things about LifeLock so, I figured I'd call them. Their rep took over the case and she was absolutely wonderful. She asked a bunch of questions, I had to fill out forms, send it back to her and she handled everything from then on. She would contact me once a month to keep me up to date on everything that was happening. And, she called at the end and said everything is cleared up and I shouldn't have a problem again. They got everything working, cleaned up my credit, contacted the place that kept on calling and they made everything go away. They're fantastic. I get quite a few alerts saying that something is on my checking account or somebody took money out just to verify that it was me or my husband, and it makes me feel safe.

LifeLock advertises a lot and I did a bit of research. It was available and so I went with it. The reps have been very obliging, patient and nice. They answered my questions and helped me out when I had some issues. It's very personal when you have issues and it looks like they picked the right personnel to be employed there. I have peace of mind and know that things are being monitored. I’ve been satisfied with LifeLock. Hopefully, I’m not going to need anything drastic from them and everything will be fine. I feel a bit more comfortable in the fact that I have them in my corner.

I reactivated my LifeLock account on 8/1/17. When my wife tried to activate her part of the account she was unable to access her account. When we tried to speak to an agent to access the account the agent refused us access to the account because I could not remember a phone number I used 25 years ago. Now both my account and my wife's partner account are locked and useless. Your security is so good I cannot access my own account. Congratulations.

Instead of helping me add accounts the LifeLock representative kept trying to get me to upgrade to a higher LifeLock level. Why would I do that if he couldn't help me add a simple bank account??? He just kept saying "Yeah, we have been having problems with that!" Ridiculous for a company that is supposed to monitor all your transactions not to be able to add a bank as large a Wells Fargo!

Hi, not big on reviews but I had LifeLock for a while. Worst decision in my life. First of my debit card life lock was protecting for hit for 4500 bucks. I personally caught the issues and had it resolved. Life lock never called one time but to tell me my auto payment on the card that was canceled they were protecting failed to clear payment. I advised if life lock would have done its job I'd still have the credit card and payments auto drafter. A month later the card visa and my bank had marked with fraud had a single transaction on it from Priceline. I called Visa and bank both had no clue how life lock could get money out of a closed card. After further review visa and my bank said life lock ran card over 45 ones as fast as they could causing a glitch and allowed card to run. I had it all canceled again and for the next 3 month life lock took payments out again.
This company if they can do that and confuse a bank and the card company must be building the identity theft just so you can pay to protect yourself. If you ever try to cancel good luck. Drop card and bank account is best but watch out they will continue to work hard in keeping you as a customer to afford their scamming ways. Worst experience ever with a company built to help people.
Upon enrolling in the LifeLock Ultimate Plus service, you should have been advised that in order to activate your financial activity alerts, you must log into your member portal to enter your login credentials for your financial accounts. If you had not completed this section, this would be the reason why you did not receive any transaction alerts. We apologize for any confusion.
The LifeLock alert network includes a variety of product features and data sources. Although it is very extensive, our network does not cover all transactions at all businesses. So you might not receive a LifeLock alert in every single case.
The Million Dollar Protection Package provides reimbursement for stolen funds up to $1,000,000 for Ultimate Plus, and Personal Expense Compensation up to $1,000,000 for Ultimate Plus.

We have been members with Lifelock for about 10 years now. The monitoring the first few years was going very well. If I opened a credit card, I would get notified, any activities I would get notified. Once a year, I would receive our credit reports from the three major firms. All of a sudden, all of that stopped. I get NO notifications, despite having refinanced, opened credit cards and I don't receive my credit reports. I receive absolutely no communications from LifeLock except the annual letter for renewal. I called a couple of times in the last two years but I always talked to someone who doesn't seem to care. Sometimes I wonder if LifeLock is still monitoring our account?

On several occasions this company has failed to alert, protect. One time was with a Yahoo account that I was informed by Yahoo that someone was trying to break into my email. The other was recently on April 22, 2017 someone did fraud purchase on my bank card and LifeLock did not detect activity. I found out because I was checking my account and saw purchases that I did not make so I called LifeLock to inform them instead of them informing me. I also had some out of pocket expense that I was able to get some of the information for them from the bank and store however missing one that I could not obtain and they refuse to pay out of pocket expense.
They do nothing to help you acquire what's needed and quick to refuse. I went back and forth with them sending copies and notarized paperwork that cost me as well. I lost my belief in this company and I felt alone in my situation. I also felt used to pay them for a service that they failed to protect my account.

Be accurate and fair, ok... It takes several days for LifeLock to notify me of any activity on my protected accounts. Also they suddenly "lost connection" of one of my protected accounts without telling me it happened. I just happen to log into my account and saw that the connection had been lost. Up until that time I thought I was being protected, but was not. That is NOT acceptable!!
We are aware of an issue with some financial institutions that are not allowing LifeLock to access accounts for security reasons. Due to the institutions internal security measures their system will automatically log LifeLock out of the account after a period of time. Unfortunately LifeLock is unable to prevent this log out from occurring, though we are sometimes able to re-log in with the credentials provided through the member portal. If all of your accounts are still logged in then no further action is needed.
If the account is disconnected when you review the information through the LifeLock member portal, in order to have access to your accounts, you will need to log back in with your credentials. These steps will be needed anytime the financial institution logs the information out.
You may also attempt to remove the account completely from the protected accounts section and add it again. If this does not fix the issue, please call us and one of our Member Service Agents would be happy to assist you in trouble shooting this issue.
We would also like to provide some clarification on the transaction alerts.
Since you are enrolled in a plan that includes transaction monitoring, such as LifeLock Benefit Elite service, there may be some delay in receiving alerts as these can only be sent once the bank or creditor has posted the information to your online statement and only if they exceed the threshold amount set within your LifeLock Member Portal. As a result, it can take between 2-5 days to receive a transaction alert.
The LifeLock alert network includes a variety of product features and data sources. Although it is very extensive, our network does not cover all transactions at all businesses. So you might not receive a LifeLock alert in every single case.
LifeLock members are also backed by the Million Dollar Protection Package which provides reimbursement for stolen funds up to:
$1,000,000 for LifeLock Benefit Elite Service
And personal expense compensation up to:

I am displeased with a company that is able to find your credit card info, without you giving it to them, and then billing you. When asked about this issue, they give you the small print rights you have given them.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. Lifelock memberships are auto renewed and 30 days prior we also send a reminder. Banks and other financial institutions use auto update for their customers when they issue a new card and the institution sees they have auto payments coming out of the account. Please accept our apology for any confusion or inconvenience the billing card update may have caused. Normally when this occurs and you did not want to renew we would cancel and provide you a full refund. In this case you choose to be covered for the year and not renew on the next renewal date. If you need any further assistance or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me direct. I have attempted to contact you several times. We appreciated you as a long time member.

There's a gentleman whose down in that Broward County area and we have the same name and were born on the same day, same month, same year. I work for Hernando County government here in Brooksville, Florida and when I initially applied, they did a background check. When they checked my driver’s license, all kinds of stuff come up and this guy had an extensive driving record and that was all over the map. When they called in, they asked me what was with my driver’s license and I had to go hire an attorney and then prove that it wasn’t me. This is how we found out about this other person and that we had the same driver’s license number. I requested it changed but when I went to the DMV, the DMV wouldn’t do anything for me. I had to go to the state's attorney’s office because it was up to me to prove that the state was wrong and it cost me a nice piece of money.
I'm a member of the NRA and they endorse LifeLock which provided me a discount. I had a couple of incidences with my personal banking account where somebody out there has my name, my social security number, my birthday, my address and they opened a new checking and savings account on my credit union with the minimal amount. Fortunately, nothing was taken out of my account. It happened back in May and at the time, I had the minimum service that LifeLock provided. After that incident, because they were not monitoring my bank accounts, I went ahead and upgraded.
I tried to do it over the phone with the credit bureaus to put fraud alerts but I can only do 90 days and then to do a seven year, I had to do all kinds of submissions as far as writing and reports. But the restoration specialist they assigned was able to do it for me right over the phone so I was able to get those seven years alerts with no hassle.
Recently, I got an alert from LifeLock that somebody tried to apply for a credit card with the NASA Federal Credit Union, which I am not a member. I told them it wasn't me so they disputed it. Then, I got a call from the NASA Federal Credit Union and I had an address that showed up on my credit union that they assign to it when they open those accounts under my name. The same address came up with the NASA Federal Credit Union and they applied for a membership in my name back on the same date on May 13th.
They claimed on my application that I was a doctor and that my monthly income was $17,000 a month. The lady said that the address that I had down in Davie, Florida was the same one that came up on their accounts. Also, that they had opened the accounts online using a line of a credit card with the bare minimums, like $35 for the checking and $10 for the savings. But they caught that and she told me that they have the Secret Service involved and Homeland Security because they've been hit for over $700,000.
When I got a call, a girl, Hayley, wanted to call NASA Federal Credit union and put us on a conference call to let them know that the application was fraud. When she called, they were closed so she said she’ll call me back the following day. We set a time for her to do it and about an hour before she was supposed to call me, I got a call from NASA Federal Credit Union.That’s how I got all the information with what was going on with that.
I decided to jump the gun and went ahead and called LifeLock. I used the number that came up on the phone when Hayley called me but a girl by the name of Carmen answered. She went into my account, updated all the information and then she told me that Hayley will see it. But I never got a call back from Hayley. So they updated my records.
I told her I had a case number here locally where I live and they had to refer it to the Davie Police Department down in Broward County because it was out of their jurisdiction. So I called her back and gave her all the case number, information and everything I had on that and I also did a follow-up. They’ve been in contact with the Davie Police Department and they haven’t gotten a whole lot out because they came up with the same address. My concern was, I just wanted to see if the Davie Police Department went to that address and what they might have discovered. For all I know, somebody could have rented an apartment there in my name and they’re using that as a mailing address to receive whatever they’re going to get through the mail there.
The Hernando County Sheriff’s office told me it would probably take three to four days for them to get it down to Davie. I never bothered to call because they gave them my phone number and they’d probably be getting in touch but I never heard from them. I called recently and the person I spoke with there told me that she took down all the information about the case, would turn it over to the sergeant in that department who handles all that and said they’d be getting back to me but I have yet to hear anything.
But it really helped to stay out of the big mess because it shows up so they let them know that it was fraud. Then, it was denied and they closed that account that that person opened. Fortunately, nothing can be opened in my name without me being alerted. It was something LifeLock requested as part of their security if I call in on the phone. Since this happened, they created a password that only I know and it's the same with my credit union and the credit bureaus. They try to get any major lines of credit or mortgage or an auto loan that's got to be checked with the credit bureaus. That red flags and they'll send me a text message to get in touch with them.
Also, the representatives at LifeLock are excellent and they've been nothing but superb. They're also very knowledgeable, courteous, right to the point and they take care of my issues. They expedite everything rather quickly without putting me on hold and making me wait. Also, I’m able to go sleep at night with a sense of security knowing that all my stuff is being monitored. Everybody should have LifeLock in this day and age of cyber crime.

We saw the LifeLock TV ad and we had identity theft. We immediately got on the phone and got a hold of an agent. Both my wife and I have LifeLock and we've had a good experience with them. It’s great. Our identity was stolen when we sent in our quarterly payments to the federal and the state. Somebody stole the mail out of one of the big, blue mailboxes that are sitting out for the postal company pickup. So, they had our checks and then they had the paperwork that had our name or social security numbers. We thought it was all settled in.
When we first got it a year ago in January, we were alerted by UPS. A charge account was opened at Cabela’s and had some stuff sent home and UPS called me up. It had been rerouted from our address and they wanted to know if we still wanted it rerouted and I said no. We found out the next day that they ordered a $2000 camera. But they still went ahead and UPS delivered it to the wrong place so they got the camera. But Cabela’s didn’t charge us for that. We called LifeLock right away and both of us enrolled.
This is our second round because the same thing happened a year ago in January. They started the same thing in June of this year and we wouldn’t have caught it without LifeLock. We had some phone numbers and address and stuff the first time they did it back in January. We gave it all to the police but we never heard anything. And then, about this time when it started in June, LifeLock alerted us that somebody’s trying to open up charge cards through Synchrony Bank. And then once we’re alerted, we call them back and listen to us and see what’s going on. And then, they put it through their resolution department. Then they call us and they get the people on the phone where they tried to open the charge cards or accounts or tried to charge something. And LifeLock gets that company on the phone with us and we’ve been able to resolve every one of them, so far.
The team at LifeLock is great. Every one of them has been super for both me and my wife. The people are very professional and knowledgeable. Once they notify us to get back with them, they react and get with us whenever they tried to open stuff up with that’s astronomical on me like that day or the next day. They’re calling us if it’s alright to get these people on the phone with us and it is.

Identity theft was becoming more prevalent and a lot of damage can be done if I’m not protected, so I considered getting protection.

I have been a victim of fraud 10 times this year, from various sources. After the eighth compromise, and a late night infomercial, I decided to take the LifeLock plunge. Someone could keep my information safe and provide a free shredder? Sounds like a win-win. After two months pass, another account has been hacked. A few weeks later, my major credit card had been compromised. All the while, I had not received any contact from LL, or received my shredder. No worries, I think to myself. They'll have to contact me when the auto-bill charge is denied, since my credit card has been hacked, right?
No. Lo and behold, the next month I see the monthly fee deducted from my replacement credit card. This I would've taken in stride, had I been contacted at this point. So, I had to log into my account to send my written request for a cancellation of any FUTURE charges. The sad part is that the commercial mocks the credit monitoring services: "What's the good of monitoring a problem if you don't solve it?" At least a monitor alerted me to the issues, which is more than I can say for Lifelock. I am relieved that I held onto my monitoring account in spite of signing up with LL, or else the situation could have been even worse!

When I enrolled in LifeLock, they ask you to state if you want to be notified if monies are withdrawn from any of your accounts and at what amount would I be alerted. I filled out this section and said to alert me at any amount over $100.00. During the next few weeks I withdrew well over $100 on 2 occasions and I was never alerted by LifeLock.

A few of my friends have LifeLock, and I listen to Rush Limbaugh and that radio station promotes it. And then, I’ve seen it on TV and I just knew it was the best I could get. Somebody stole my ID and they were opening accounts all over in my name. I’m 71 years old, I never had this happen and I wouldn’t have known what to do if not for LifeLock. They helped guide me through every step of the way. And it stopped it, finally. I haven’t gotten any more since I have LifeLock. It kept going for a while, but they were right on it. The minute somebody tried and opened an account, I got a notice on my computer and they called me. The team was so compassionate because I was a mess. And every time they’d call, I’d be crying because I knew somebody else was trying to open up an account in my name and they were so wonderful, helpful, and reassuring.
So if this happens, don’t do it alone, you need help. I’ve heard about credit bureaus but I didn’t know that it was so important. LifeLock got fraud alert on the credit bureau for me. They told me to file a police report, which I did. And they just helped me through it. LifeLock is amazing and I have recommended them to other people already. I love LifeLock.

I was very impressed that LifeLock contacted me immediately by phone and email to verify that I was the one opening a new credit card account. I was opening the account, but I was amazed that they checked on it so quickly. When I lost my credit cards, LifeLock helped me contact all of them and stayed on the phone with me for each one until a real person cancelled the old cards and opened a new account for me. I also like being notified when my credit score changes. I have been very happy with all of the services LifeLock provides.

Anytime there’s been any issues or anybody running my credit, they take care of it and make sure the case gets closed. The only thing is when I initially signed up, they said that when they get an alert, they’d be able to tell me where it was done and that was not true. So, that was a little bit misleading.

I joined LifeLock and tried to add all my financial institutions to be transactionally monitored (versus just being monitored in the Internet). 4 to 6 of them have trouble being added. I called LifeLock customer service. They helped me debug the problems but could not figure out why that happened so they escalated the problems and said someone will get back to me. These were a few days ago. No one got back to me.
The sole reason I joined LifeLock is to have my assets monitored and monitored right away. Cyber crimes don't wait. Customer service told me that LifeLock does not monitor 'all' banks/financial institutions but the 4 - 6 banks that I am having trouble adding are popular banks/financial institutions and NOT obscure ones. The nature of the problems seem to be programmatic. I had to logon to these banks/financial institutions from within LifeLock. These logons involve not only providing username and password but answering security questions. LifeLock did not seem to be able to handle these extra steps in the logon process and failed during the authentication step.
This is most disconcerting and disappointing at the same time. Adding banks/financial institutions to be monitored is the principal and most important operation for a customer to do and often the sole purpose of joining LifeLock - and it does not work!!!! And, no one has gotten back to me in a timely manner with a solution or follow-up. I am still waiting...

On the 24 of June 2017 at 11:27 am I called LifeLock and I was calling about the 9.99 that was just advertised. And the ladies tone was wonderful & from Johnson City Tenn. And I said, "Ma’am before you tell me anything I don't want to waste your time" as they tell you to have your credit card ready. I said, "I don't get paid till the 1st week in July." And she acted as if she didn't hear me or I was one of those people who have credit. But I didn't waste her time, she wasted mine and I cannot stand companies who get your business by drawing you in with a 9.99 package. And then they get you on the phone and they say, "Before I tell you about the 9.99 standard package allow me to explain" & all of sudden it’s not about the 9.99 deal.
I spent 13 minutes & 47 seconds listening to a lady explain or read off an index card AFTER telling her I was on a budget of 890 a month. She went on & on about a 29.99 special that's more reliable than the 9.99. And after I allowed her to read the card. She said, "If you want me to turn on the 9.99 right now and you can upgrade next month." Oh my, gotta laugh. She just didn't want to hear I don't have a credit card & I was polite enough to say I would not purchase anything till I got paid. She's one of these people who is probably reading what the CEO approved but I dealt with her. And as I was saying I didn't want to waste her time but she wasted mine.
I would not do business just because of the fact she was not hearing me. It's sneaky and unethical and didn't want to discuss the 9.99 package & to wrap it up. She said, "If after 2 month's you’re not satisfied we will change the plan." I said goodbye and wish her a great week ahead. That commercial in the bank robbery and dentist, that supposed to goes to their credit but I think the advertising team didn't think that commercial through. And oh yea, Norton is a part of LifeLock.
Look I write reviews best on my site about unethical behavior and it's more than not o.k. but it is not operators fault. But this was a special kind of unethically desperate act of pulling in business at a much larger cost as advertised. She said it would be cheaper if I paid the 400+ or 29.99 a month. This woman didn't want to hear me. And it's the company as she was doing her job. And she was disappointed but I'd be too if I worked for a corporation that made us do that.9.99 to 29.99. I am sorry for her but this is in my opinion of an unethical company.

LifeLock was able to contact those companies on my behalf and got that resolved and removed.
The LifeLock team was really great. Some of the folks that I dealt with dealt right in and were right there. They even called the credit card companies that we had the problem with. On my behalf, they identified themselves from LifeLock and what they were trying to do and what we were trying to accomplish. I couldn't ask for any better people. I wish I knew their names because they did a phenomenal job. They contact me before I even know something has happened and it makes you feel really good that somebody's watching out for you.

I've been a customer for over a year and just renewed. All was OK, then the new smartphone app came out. Finally! I was excited to install it. But alas, PlayStore kept saying I was not eligible to install it because I am in Europe. I contacted Cust Service and asked about another way to get it. An Android app is just an APK file. The APK file is put on PlayStore by the vendor. Could they please ask and find where it is located other than PlayStore, so may install it? But support was chilly, rigid and dogmatic. The frontline guys didn't even know what an APK is. The escalation manager was unwilling to help me further. So, I'm stuck in Europe for another few months, with no LifeLock app yet, and I'm planning to evaluate competitors before renewal time comes up again.
A good product is one thing, but customer service that listens and really helps makes the difference today. I was disappointed that LL CS was so unhelpful. It almost seemed like they only follow certain scripts in handling calls. And as a former manager myself in software support, I know that management has access to back line help from development, so the manager who would not help me just chose not to take the extra step for customer satisfaction. LifeLock is an expensive product. My bank now offers similar monitoring bundled for free if I keep a minimum balance. I'll have to think long and hard before I renew LifeLock.

They got me on three-way calls trying to help, not only talk to people but have the knowledge to talk to them, like the questions I wouldn't know how to ask. Usually we're on three-way calls with the fraud department.
They've already taken care of it and they're calling me to check in, inform what they were doing and all has been very professional. Not to say any of them has ever had it done to them or not but they feel my pain. They're very compassionate about what they do so my experiences with them has been awesome. They even got the credit bureaus all lined up for me. I didn't have to stress about that. They did seven years lockdown for me for the fraud alert.
I tell all my friends about them. I was bragging on that they made it a lot easier for me. Thank God LifeLock have found some more stuff that made my day.

However, there was fraud in our current issue. I was disappointed that they didn’t pick it up and announce it to me prior. The personnel was very good but it took six months to get it done. LifeLock helped me and I’m satisfied. I can’t interpret what they should, could and normally do to preempt. We found out that there’s theft and they’ve gone to work and have helped me in both instances. There are other opportunities to stop theft. But every time the good guys make an advance, bad guys pick it up and work around it. So, to me, it’s an issue.
In my most recent case, Janice, the customer service person, was very good and knew exactly how to handle the conversation when it was in the right or wrong direction and she was a professional. So, I appreciate that. It sounded difficult to US Community Bank and Lenovo computers, but Janice was tenacious and made the correct calls at the appropriate times, did the right follow up and kept communication with me to the level I needed. LifeLock is easy to work with while holding on to dignity and competence. If I were speaking to customers I would say, “LifeLock is one of the oldest and one of the best.” But if it was LifeLock, I would say, “Double down on your preemptives.”

Once subscribed for a few months one learns a few truths about what Lifelock is: a company that takes (smart) advantage of folks' fears re identity theft and concerns for maintaining a modicum of protection and privacy associated with their financial accounts and transactions. Once a paying customer, one starts to see a lot more honest indicia from Lifelock that are understandably not a part of initial marketing/public disclosures (I'm sure they're in the fine print somewhere): "not all transactions at all accounts monitored" written everywhere - on the site, as the signature to their emails, at the bottom of their site next to any disclaimer asterisk, etc - basically giving them an out in case anything actually ever happens to one of your accounts.
"Oh, THAT transaction?! No, we didn't monitor or take action on that ONE transaction in that ONE account that ends up being the one happened to have been breached by some means." And other statements like "No one can guarantee 100% identity protection" or similar "no duh" comments, except that you realize why they're saying those things from a risk management, responsibility deniability, "disclosure" etc perspective AFTER one is paying for their services. Those types of statements/disclosures would be great to clearly communicate upfront in the company's marketing, services website, etc. Once one signs up and experiences what this feels like in practice, they learn that there's no real there. Any interactions for support result in talking to folks who robotically repeat (often on-their-face inaccurate or irrelevant) boiler language.
Or try to deflect responsibility. Or spin the customer out trying dozens of unrelated things and ultimately referring the customer to work with the outside underlying financial institutions on the noted issue. Like the worst SNL skit. And that's when one realizes they're no better off than before they signed up: they still have to deal with all these issues themselves directly with their banks, lending institutions, etc. So, Lifelock ultimately is a middle company broker to sell different levels of "support"/insurance once a person experiences identity theft or one of the many security/privacy breaches that are a reality of life now.
But instead of saying that all they are is a company that provides these "services" after the incident has occurred through an insurance company with different max tiers of support, they provide a UI that LOOKS like they're doing something, but (at best) is a centralized account visualization/transaction tracking site like Mint.com. So, once you actually have to interface with humans in Lifelock's member services to experience their quality of "service", you finally learn what you can expect in the godforsaken circumstance that something actually happens to your accounts. Because if this is how they are under routine, non-adversarial circumstances, one can only imagine the horror of having to engage the company for the promised "services" and "support" (that would actually cost the company money) if something were to actually happen to the customer's account(s).
So, ultimately, one feels violated and that the services marketed upfront are not fully clear disclosures representing the reality of the experience with and the limitations of the services of the company and what they will/can actually protect/do. That you are paying for something (i.e., insurance coverage providing tiers of promised "services" if accounts are breached from a company that without exception gives one no confidence in the quality of their services) that not only won't/can't protect you, but that will leave you feeling frustrated and violated in the unfortunate circumstance that something actually happens to your account(s).

I was alerted that an application was opened to apply for a Bloomingdale's credit card using my name, SSN, and birthdate in July 2016. Fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, I was hacked 2 months prior so there was a credit freeze in effect and LifeLock was informed. When the LifeLock website was redesigned, I noticed that the above came up whenever I received an alert and was listed as 'LifeLock is investigating'. I called LifeLock to ask why this was still part of my active alerts and I requested that I be connected to tech support to share this info. I was a software engineer for 25 years and I know that changing this alert from 'investigating' to 'resolved' is not a monumental undertaking, but I met resistance from my initial customer service contact and then from the supervisor I requested.
I spend about $54 monthly for 2 LifeLock memberships and I can't fathom why LifeLock has no system in place to deal with customer concerns about how alerts are processed. After the phone call I placed to LifeLock on 4/19 to customer service (one of many on this), I am finding it difficult to trust that LifeLock is dealing with my info and data reported on me in the most secure way possible. I was especially disturbed to find out that the issue I was hoping to have addressed would not even be sent to the responsible department via a request form, but by 'word of mouth' from the supervisor to someone in the group responsible for maintaining LifeLock's systems.
How does LifeLock expect people to pay them to oversee and offer some degree of protection of their financial accounts and personal data if they can't even address legitimate concerns of customers in a professional manner? When a customer calls LifeLock to point out an obvious flaw in their system, how is it possible that there is no automated system in place to process it and create an audit trail? This makes me wary about what is happening behind the scenes that could impact me, since I was told that in all likelihood, no one would contact me to confirm that my issues were received and addressed by the proper department.
I was told that I cannot contact corporate or tech support with my concerns and my issues would remain with the customer service supervisor until he is able to personally address it with the LifeLock employees who would be responsible to resolve it, if they do choose to do so, and that there was no guarantee that this would ever occur. I was given a multitude of excuses, but I was not given any reassurances that LifeLock will be any more amenable to my and other customer concerns in the future than they are at the present time. I must say that this experience has left me with the dreaded feeling that I am just 'paying' LifeLock to 'wait for the other shoe to drop' with the protection plan they assure me that I am/will receive now and in the future.
LifeLock is supposed to offer 'peace of mind' to its customers, but in order for customers to put their trust in LifeLock, transparency is essential and this experience suggests to me that LifeLock doesn't see that as a priority! As a person who has had her identity stolen and suffered through all the horrendous consequences associated with it and am now a LifeLock client, I believe that I am entitled to let LifeLock know that I am all for transparency, but it has to extend to both LifeLock and its paying customers! They need to be responsive to their customers' concerns and issues and simply put, they need to 'put up or shut up' because 'trust' is what will keep their customers with LifeLock and a 'lack of trust' will have them fleeing to a LifeLock competitor!

I've used LifeLock on and off since they started offering services. Overall I think they offer a great service but I do think it's overpriced for what they actually provide. My issue is more to do with customer service. Recently I changed a credit card. Somehow LifeLock managed to get a hold of the number and continue billing. No call or email to ask permission, just started billing the new card. Personally I think that is a reach and a breach of the information they gather. I didn't like it.
Today I called to cancel. I verified the account then rudely transferred to "Customer Retention" where I had to verify my information again. They make it incredibly hard to cancel and keep you on the phone for a very long time. In the end the company refused to cancel the account under the grounds I was recording the phone call and that I refused to provide my new mailing address (they refused to email the cancellation request). Needless to say I was most annoyed, in fact completely pissed off as I feel the agent was purposely trying to make it as difficult as possible for me.

My wife and I were LifeLock customers for years--we never had a breach, and we were very careful with our online info. Most importantly, we spent a great deal of time setting up our account, inputting our data--all of it. And we sprung for the premium coverage--not the basic. When my company announced that they had been breached, we were all offered free LifeLock protection for a year, so we took advantage of that free coverage.
After the year was over, we never heard from LifeLock, and assumed that our coverage had continued without interruption, paid by automatic debit on our LifeLock-protected credit card. During a review of that same credit card, I noticed that I hadn't seen a LifeLock charge for this month, and I got worried. When we found that we could not log into our account, we called customer service--an oxymoron of the worst order--and were assured, several times, on several different calls, that all we had to do was reset our password. Finally, on the fourth try, we reached a competent person, and lo and behold we were told the truth: We had been dropped, and we were informed that our account had lapsed.
How did that happen? Didn't LifeLock know how to reach us? They had all of our info, credit card details, telephone numbers and every email address known to man. Couldn't they have called or sent an email? Of course, if the treatment I received when I called customer service is any indication of competency, then I should not have really been surprised.
When I complained, I was told that they'd be more than happy to sign us back up, and we could spend a bunch more hours re-inputting all of our data into their very forgetful system. Gee, no thanks, LifeLock. If you don't know how to contact me when there is no crisis, I certainly won't trust you to do so when there is a real crisis. And don't tell me you don't still have my data, either, I'm not buying that bridge--your computers probably have every bit & byte that ever crossed your electronic threshold. Sadly, after all my years as a customer, the only time I ever really needed LifeLock, they just plain forgot about me.

I've been using LifeLock for years and they keep making changes to their system that negatively affect user experience. They recently migrated to a new creditor to get scores from and everything started changing in small pieces. I used to get my credit score consistently each month and then they make changes to their system without advanced notice. People like me who have routines, like checking my credit score at the first of the month, suffer when LifeLock changed to their new system to only provide credit score updates on the 4th Tuesday of a month. LifeLock is a monopoly on credit scores, but I can't bring myself to quit it. When they are not changing stuff from underneath you, the information they provide is mostly accurate.
Some recommendations they put on their website that they claim come from the credit bureau are not true; I pulled my credit score and report manually from Equifax and none of the same comments were there. For instance, I have a credit card open since 2006 and it tells me "The date that you opened your oldest account is too recent"... okay, 11 years for one credit card (the day I turned 18) and it's too recent. Wow. I constantly battle with presented information from the LifeLock website. I guess if you stick closely to just looking right at your credit report and looking at the history and avoiding comments from LifeLock and reference your score... then LifeLock does a good job... but I've been growing really tired of them making changes that nobody is asking for (because they sure didn't ask me).
Things that they lie about on their website are comments like this: 1) Total of all balances on bankcard or revolving accounts is too high - no it is not!!! Used Credit $8,474. Available Credit $45,856. Tell me how the balances are too high when I'm only using 18.5% of my total credit. I only have 1 credit card with a balance... 2) The total of all balances on your open accounts is too high. See #1, again, you're just making these things up. Added a couple of screenshots. 1 shows bizarre fake information that they assume from my credit score. The second is part of their website that they still have not updated after one year of transitioning to a new website design. LifeLock's approach to phased releases is lackluster.

I have had a LifeLock subscription since 2012 and was pleased with the service up until 2016. This review is based only on my experience. Recently I decided to cancel my subscription because I no longer find it useful for a number of reasons. Last year a couple of my bank accounts were compromised and LifeLock did not catch them. The worst case was in December 2016. Because I have alerts on all of my accounts and for low amounts, I was alerted immediately by my banks. LifeLock only allows alerts to be set at $100 and above so anything below that amount will be missed. This needs to be fixed. If it had not been for me setting up my own bank alerts my account would have been overdrawn for thousands of dollars that I did not have. I have the email rejects to prove it which I turned over to the police.
LifeLock not allowing to set an alert under $100 would have caused a major financial disaster for me resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in overdraft fees because my card was used all over the world and for high cost items. I compared my bank alert features with LifeLock and decided I was better off with no service. While LifeLock does have features the banks do not offer, the more critical features I needed would be protection of my bank accounts. LifeLock does not have a strong enough plan for that protection if we cannot customize to select lower amounts that would trigger an alert. If they did, I would have expected an alert and maybe they could have looked into it instead of me doing all the work I was paying them to do.
I don't even know if LifeLock can trace where the hacks are coming from as was experienced a couple of years ago. The customer service rep at LifeLock who I spoke with at that time could not give me an answer to that question. If they don't have that information then how can I give it to the police and why am I paying for credit monitoring I'm not getting?
I think the basic LifeLock account is adequate for most people while still using alerts with your bank accounts as extra coverage. LifeLock's scanning for email accounts and black market activity are a plus, but I would not rely solely on any one credit monitoring service when bank accounts can easily be compromised mainly because of our own use of credit/debit cards. Banks are more secure than most websites, companies, and stores.
In fairness to LifeLock I did not have the bank transaction monitoring in any of my cases because it was either not available at the time or I didn't know about it until recently. If it had been available LifeLock still would have missed it because the total of the first two fraudulent transactions were under $100 and only my own bank alerts caught it preventing the withdrawal of thousands of dollars. Most of these fraudulent purchases were outside the U. S. The first two that were charged against my account were under $90, but one was international which LifeLock should have caught. Even without bank transaction monitoring, the debit/credit cards I registered on LifeLock still should have triggered an alert especially for international transactions. There were over fifty transactions that I know of that were all over the world and there was no way I could have been in all of those places at once.
As a consumer I would also not solely rely on any service to protect all of my information. The consumer has to accept some responsibility themselves in being proactive in safeguarding their own information. However a credit-monitoring company should not make claims they cannot provide. Not everybody's crisis is the same. I was very careful in most cases to secure my information and it was still compromised. My latest incident involved ordering online with a software reseller I did business with years ago without incident. I did not know at the time they were involved in a big counterfeit operation and were being investigated. It took a lot of work on my part to fix my compromised bank account and report to all authorities.
I felt this was something LifeLock should have been doing since I was paying them to fix problems like this. I also felt something this big should have been caught in their system. That's when I decided to discontinue service with them. The $28.88 I was paying a month was being wasted for something my bank was offering for nothing. And I had to do my own investigative work to discover this huge online theft that LifeLock missed. I was going to alert them like I had done once before, but back then customer service told me their service did not monitor that type of activity. I thought at the time they were advertising a product they could not deliver, but I stayed with them a little longer.
From my experience, LifeLock does have its pluses offering features that are not available in other credit monitoring services. Before cancelling with LifeLock, I found a more suitable plan through my insurance company that offers more for about a third of the Lifelock price. LifeLock was very accommodating when I unsubscribed by even issuing a refund which I did not expect and it was immediate. However, for all that they missed during my subscription period they could have done a lot better.
Hello and thank you for your feedback. Sorry to see our service did not work out for you. Unfortunately, there is little that can be done to completely prevent fraudulent activity on your credit or debit cards. There are many different methods that criminals use to obtain the card information, from something as simple as writing the number down to more sophisticated technology that can detect the information without the cards ever leaving your possession. The only sure way to avoid fraudulent activity is to use cash when making purchases. You may also want to contact your bank/financial institution to see if they are able to add any extra security measures to your account. Please keep in mind that LifeLock does not monitor charges on your existing accounts. Your bank accounts and credit cards are protected by the financial institution that issued the account/card. Due to privacy laws in the banking industry only the bank or credit card company that issued the account can monitor it for possible unauthorized charges. The LifeLock alert network includes a variety of product features and data sources. Although it is very extensive, our network does not cover all transactions at all businesses.

I read the mixed reviews on LifeLock. I am a strong believer in the company. There is no fool proof system. We have been the victims of identity theft. Most recently the IRS data breach. Lifelock has been diligent about any and everything related to our accounts. It is a virtual nightmare to go through identity theft. We have had to change debit cards multiple times. The low life who stole our identity tried to get my husband's SS check but thankfully he didn't know the answers to allow him to do so.
People need to realize when your bank cards are compromised your financial institution has to cancel your cards and dispute unauthorized transactions - not Lifelock. Even PayPal let one slip through the cracks and it cost them so they have installed tighter security measures. Be glad Lifelock does their best to protect us. Sadly Identity theft is an epidemic.

I am sorry to hear you experienced credit card fraud. Please keep in mind that Lifelock does not monitor charges on your existing credit card, they are protected and monitored by the financial institution that issued the card/account. Due to privacy laws in the banking industry only the bank or credit card company can monitor your card along with you for unauthorized charges. The Lifelock Service Terms and Conditions also require that you notify Lifelock within (90) days of the date you know, or reasonably should have known, that someone has improperly used your credit or debit card. If after an investigation by the financial institution and you are held responsible for the fraud charges that is when we can further assist. If you receive a collection notice, upon contact to the collection agency you determine what personal information of yours was used, the original date the service was opened, and balance and this original date was while you are a member of Lifelock we do assist.

When I call, I am told to wait and try again and this is after 5-10 minutes of answering questions. However, on my daughter's account, after many tries, we got lucky to activate it... but, the search on Life Lock returns nothing. The same search on my other identity protection website and Google returns many issues. I reported this to Life Lock and due to them, Life Lock is only associated with certain companies and the reason we see no result is because those certain companies have no privacy record of my daughter. This sounds stupid. It's almost as if my bank tells me that I am insured against theft, but only if the thief is of a certain ethnic background.

After 48 minutes, this issue is still not resolved. After 4 months of membership, I decided to downgrade to their standard coverage - a difference of over $400/year. After calling their customer service number, their computer system under-calculated the refund due me by about $150. The agent couldn't even tell me when and how I would hear the result of the billing research request I authorized. It took a supervisor to make an approximation of the correct refund and time frame for resolution of the problem. The CS Agent did her job; it's not her fault. It is, in my opinion, a lousy system. Tried to speak to corporate head of CS about the length of time already invested. Gave up after another 12 minutes on hold. Operator said she "didn't know who to call."

I was a LifeLock member since about 2005. I lead off by stating the only reason customer support is rated as a "4" is because LifeLock never contacted me with advertising and cancel my membership quickly. That said, the overall service is not as advertised. In the beginning, service that was advertised was what I received. Once LifeLock started tiering their services is when it went downhill. Spending several hundred dollars a year, one would expect a simple mortgage application would trigger one of the so called alerts you see on television, but that did not happen.
Since 2005, I've moved 4 times and bought 2 houses. Neither mortgage application -- and subsequent credit checks to establish new services in a new city -- triggered any LifeLock notifications, calls, or anything of the sort. LifeLock was more than happy to cancel my membership of over 10 years without even questioning why. I have since signed up with a different service and within a week of new service, I was notified of activity associated with my SSN. LifeLock isn't worth the money.
LifeLock does not monitor all transactions at all businesses. Although we have a large number of companies in our network of surveillance, not all merchants participate and on occasion an application may be submitted that does not fall within our network.

I've been less than satisfied with LifeLock since I joined. I added my wife as a member and, she had no "profile" like I did on the site. Even though she was connected to my account, I couldn't add her credit cards and she wasn't afforded the same benefits I was - even though she was paying exactly the same amount. Then, when I tried to cancel her off my account (after 5 years of, basically, what I felt was wasted money), I had to email the company to do so. I searched the site *everywhere* to find a "remove additional subscriber" button - to no avail. LL should make it easy to remove someone from your account on the "Manage Account" screen. Making it difficult doesn't dissuade subscribers from removing people or unsubscribing. It simply makes existing users angry at the company and feel that *all* you want is our money by making it difficult to "get out" when someone's made the decision to do so.
I realize LL is out for a profit - companies can't survive without a substantial bottom line - but making it difficult to "unsubscribe" to your service is a terrible way to retain business. LL should aspire to retain subscribers by providing better value for the dollar - rather than making EVERYTHING an "upgrade". Maybe if they reduced their advertising budget and increased value for existing customers, they might see an increase in business through organic growth. Retention is key - but forced retention builds animosity and resentment toward the company and basically assures those who unsubscribe will most likely never return.
The bottom line is this: LL should make ACTUAL account management achievable within the "Manage Account" screen. And, they should provide more value to their existing subscribers. Get rid of all the "upgrades". $200.00 a year is a substantial bill - and, sadly, at that fee level, I feel as if I'm getting precious little for my money.

For the past 6 years, I have paid for LifeLock Protection. I called today to find out if I needed additional protection from another company for my security. Imagine my surprise and disappoint when I found out today that the protection that I thought I had and was stated to "monitor account openings for credit cards, wireless services, retail credit, mortgages auto and payday loan and other activities" was totally random!!! VERY FINE PRINT--"Network does not cover all transactions and scope may vary." Evidently only 2 transactions were covered for alerts in 6 years!! They said that I am paying for Identity restoration. I thought I was also primarily paying for early notification to PREVENT becoming a victim. I said that their service is highly misleading and asked for a refund. I think that I am going to have to take legal action to get it. Find another service!

I've had the opportunity due to a family members misfortune to test out about 10 different identity monitoring services and options and LifeLock is by far the best. Your information is organized, visible, and easy to access. The program is easy to operate. LifeLock keeps tabs on your info and has a great alert system that you can easily interact with immediately. Service agents are cheerful, willing, and do the work for you; they know what to do to get it done. The site offers a lot of other helpful information if you need to act on your own for other issues or have questions. Comparatively with the other programs, the other programs often deliver hard to decipher information or alerts and there is little to no assistance to deal with it. Maybe they are for someone who has a lot of time on their hands and loves a good chase. LifeLock does what it says it does and it offers a good service.

Hello, I am very sorry to hear your card was compromised. LifeLock is unable to track your spending and we would not know about any transactions on your cards. Due to privacy laws in the banking industry only the bank or credit card company that issued the account can monitor it for possible unauthorized charges.

I was reviewing my bank account and realized that there was a charged that did not made sense. Never seeing the company (Lifelock). Never subscribed to it. After further search there were 5 monthly charges. Called the 800 number and explained my situation. After being on hold for a few minutes, rep Mari mention that it looked that a 3rd party company signed me up for possible commission. They had my personal information right except for the email and the phone number. To add insult to injury, agent Mari commented "See this is why you need our company. Someone has your personal information why don't you give me your real email and phone number and you can keep this account."
After requesting to stop the membership and full refund the agent Mary said that unfortunately they could only refund 2 months (and they will pocket the other 3 months) even if is not your fault. Their excuse not to refund your money is that I was my responsibility to check my bank account for reincurring charges (sometimes hard when you only use one account for everything). So beware, even it was not my fault I lost and the winner is Lifelock (pocket 3 months) with their excuse "that is not their fault that a 3rd party is doing it". And still they will pocket your money.
Thank you for your feedback. I have requested an additional 3 month refund for you. Please allow 5-7 business days to be processed by your bank. I am sorry to hear your information was breached and used. There are several things you can do to watch for fraud at this time:
Monitor your transactions: Keep an eye on the activity on your credit and debit cards, looking out for any charges that don't seem to be yours. Report suspicious transactions immediately to your bank or credit card company.
Watch your credit reports: You can get a free credit report from each of the three major U.S. credit bureaus each year, and you can pay for more frequent access. Get more information from the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0155-free-credit- reports.

My wife and I were members of Lifelock since 2009. As a retired federal law enforcement officer, my wife and I were also members of two other credit monitoring agencies via OPM as a result of two security breaches in 2015. We have leased two automobiles in the past two years through BMW and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and also opened up a new American Express Account. We both received emails from the other two agencies the same day of our application yet NEVER received any notification from Lifelock. None. I logged into my account and saw that the last alert I received from them was an address change in December 2014 and the last alert regarding anything to do with our credit reports was in December 2013.
It should be noted that I had the standard plan. I contacted Lifelock to cancel my account and the "retention specialist" started reading from a script about all of the wonderful services Lifelock provides if I upgrade my plan. When I told her that I wasn't getting notified about any activity on my account or my wife's account and hadn't received a credit application alert since 2013 despite leasing two vehicles and getting an AMEX card in the past two years, she stated that Lifelock doesn't monitor every transaction. WTF? I told her that it is unreasonable to believe that Lifelock wouldn't monitor the activity from three major vendors such as American Express, BMW Financial Services and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. Remember, this is involving both my wife and myself. Two different people with two different social security numbers.
She wouldn't budge from her script and when I insisted that I wanted to cancel my account and wanted at least a partial refund of the $11.98/month (I received a 40% discount) fee that I've been paying going back to the last notification in December 2014. She said she could only cancel my account and referred me to customer service, but reminded me that I still would have received their "up to a million dollars" benefit if I had been the victim of identity theft. Perhaps, perhaps not.
I tried to tell her that the basic foundation for any credit monitoring service is to notify the customer in close to real time that there has been activity on their credit bureau files so the customer can either confirm that it is ok or begin to take immediate action. I explained to her that had I not been notified by the other two services, I would be totally in the dark about any credit bureau activity for my wife and myself had it been fraudulent. I'm not sure she understood that I was not receiving the major part of the service I was paying for and kept repeating that I would have been protected with the million dollar benefit. It should be noted that I had the Lifelock Advantage Plan until June 2015 yet I wasn't notified of my credit application to MBFS when we leased a Mercedes in May 2015 so having the more expensive plan did nothing as well.
I then spoke with Customer Service who advised the best they could offer was a refund of one month's payment or 30 days of free monitoring. She apologized profusely and said it must have been a glitch, but, in the end, they weren't really going to do anything to keep me as a customer. Since I no longer have any confidence in Lifelock, I opted to get the refund. Lifelock has major radio personalities e.g. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dr. Laura, etc... touting how wonderful it is which is why I signed up back in 2009. At least for me, it turned out that for the past 21 months, I've been wasting my money.
I understand your concern and am happy to clarify our services for you.

This system provides actionable alerts that are sent for uses of your personal information in applications for credit and services within our network through the patented LifeLock Identity Alert system. Although credit inquiries were not part of your service, you were covered and protected at the time by our $1 million guarantee. If you become a victim of identity theft while a LifeLock Member, we will spend up to one million dollars to hire experts to help your recovery. The benefits of the service guarantee are provided under a master insurance policy underwritten by United Specialty Insurance Company. For full details, terms, and restrictions on the policy, see LifeLock.com/legal.
Thank you for your time. We value your feedback.

Got LL after a breach in credit. A few months went by and another breach occurred. Instructed to contact the Bureaus myself by LL CSR. Glorified text message service. Free apps available you can do the same thing with. What am I really paying for?
Thank you for taking the time to speak to me regarding your experience. As discussed the breach you experienced as a member should have been handled with our restoration team. If the matter is not resolved with you directly speaking to the creditor you can contact Lifelock to assist to ensure proper resolution occurs.
Sincerely,

If you didn't have LifeLock you need to get it. Someone got my personal information and applied for a credit card using my good credit. I got an alert from the good people at LifeLock. I informed them I didn't make an application for a credit card. I spoke to a representative from LifeLock and in less than 24 hours they and resolved the issue and helped me contact the credit bureau to put an alert on my information going forward. I can't imagine what could have happened to my good credit had LifeLock not been there helping protect what I have worked so hard to have. In today's age of information being so readily available, you need someone in the shadows watching out for you. Thanks so much LifeLock!!!

You wanted me to change my username and password. You gave me a username. You never gave me a chance to give my password (blank page) so I cannot get onto your website. You never contact me and now I can't get on your website!

Court Record Details, Alert Date 08/09/2016 08:43 AM".
Eventually, after a very rude female phone representative, I got to a "Supervisor". It turns out that the "Alert Date" is just today's date and that the court record date was about 20 years ago. It took some time for Lifelock to explain that there must have been some change to the court record in the last two days and that was what triggered the worrying email message.
I had already checked the court records after I received the email and before I got through to Lifelock on the telephone. I could find no such change. The supervisor put me on hold again, after talking over me loudly several times. She came back and said it was because the courts were updating old records to "digital" format. This was a recorded conversation. Both sides of telephone conversations can be recorded.
I suggested that could be a possible reason, but unlikely. She insisted that this was the ONLY reason. Lifelock, she claimed. were 100% certain that no other reason existed for sending out the email suggesting my identity had been stolen. This phone call was recorded. I believe that I was not told the truth and that emails such as the one I received are sent by Lifelock to customers shortly before their annual contract expires. The emails have the intent of convincing customers that they are receiving a vigilant service. This is deceptive practice. It causes worry, wastes time and causes much aggravation with discourteous telephone support. I cancelled both my and my wife's accounts. My account was costing $350/yr.
Hello I can certainly understand your concerns. When you enroll in a plan that includes Public Records monitoring, you will receive Court Records reports. These reports are pulled from various sources to help you protect yourself from being associated with criminal arrest and conviction records that may have resulted from others using your personally identifiable information for criminal purposes. The initial baseline report will give you an indication of what is currently listed in your record. This may include past infractions that have already been dismissed. If the records are valid for you, no further action is needed. We will notify you if any change occurs to this report in the future.
Please note that the Court Records reports will search records based on first/last name and date of birth matches. This may on occasion cause an alert to be received which does not necessarily indicate that identity theft occurred. If there is a middle name or initial listed that does not match yours this is not indicative of identity theft and the alert can be disregarded.
If all of the information (including the middle name or middle initial) matches yours, please contact the court listed on the report to confirm that this record does not pertain to your social security number and that no identity theft has occurred. Please note that the court records may also include items such as driving infractions. We apologize for any confusion this alert may have caused.
Thank you.Jamie Huckaby

In January, it was my intent to add my husband to my membership and upgrade to the better plan. It appears that he has his own account with the updated plan and I have a separate account with the basic plan. One is over $300 the other over $200. This is not what my intentions were. One account for my family (husband and myself) with the premium plan. Thank you.

LifeLock has given me a peace of mind I've not had for years. For many years I experienced various forms of personal identity compromises. Breaches that were most impactful relative to my credit rating. LifeLock has assisted me with strengthening my credit standing due to your monitoring, reporting and informing processes. I thank LifeLock for your consistent professionalism, effectiveness and personal attention to the needs to your customers. I'm especially grateful for the personal security you've provided me and once again, for my peace of mind!
