Horrible customer service, I was more traumatized by my dealings with Lifelock than I was by the actual identity fraud. I would never renew my plan with them and recommend that no one does. Just awful.

The absolute worst customer service in the world! I would never recommend this company to anyone. I called to do something that should be simple. My first phone call was at 10 AM. My last phone call was at 7 PM, of the 12 people I spoke with only one of them completely understood the English language, six of them hung up on me. Only one of them understood what I was trying to do. They spoke poor English, and they might know the English words, but they couldn't put them together in a sentence in order to understand what they meant.
I was reporting a death and needed to close the account, I needed the information on where to send the death certificate to. It took 9 extremely frustrating, excruciatingly painful hours, 12 phone calls & 2 chats to reach a human being that understood the English language and could solve that problem. It took him a total of 10 minutes to completely get the info & submit it. No one should ever have to go through 9 hours of pure hell to report a death and close an account..

I was given 3 years of Lifelock protection due to a data breach. I received a notification that some of my info was found on the dark web. 2 days ago it took over 30 minutes to correspond with a non human who was unable to assist me and sent my problem to Tier 2 Level. It would take 24-48 hours for a human to contact me. No one did. Today I called and stayed on hold for over 20 minutes until a human answered. After giving her my Case Number ID she put me on hold and then came back online to tell me they (Lifelock) could not see the password info I was talking about. I told her Lifelock sent me the email with the password info. She stated she could not help me. Then what does Lifelock actually do???? I hung up.

We signed up with this company over 2 years ago. Sales was about the only good thing that came from this! I Had my taxes filed by someone else in 2023, Lifelock wanted me to sign a blank power of attorney to get assistance. I contacted an attorney, as I figured I was advised against this. No idea who would get this document, we asked Lifelock. They wouldn't reveal where this was going. Therefore we dealt with this on our own. Alerts are delayed for hard inquiries by a day or more, very weak fraud protection.
They do not assist with hard inquiries from the fraud. I was told today after dealing with Capital One on a case I opened 1st week of December 2023 for a card I didn't apply for, that they can't interface with them, and since the hard inquiry is still showing for a fraudulent application on Nov 28 2023, that I could dispute this with the credit bureaus, they will send me an email on how to do this. I already know how. However I thought part of my premium family package, offered more than just alerts. Customer support is in the USA. All other support is offshore. That should make everyone that does business with this company freak out! They don't care if you cancel. Someone else will sign up to replace you! They had a massive breach this year, was actually last year but we didn't know about until this year! I've had more identity theft problems since dealing with Lifelock!
Oh they monitor payday loans and things like rent to own, yeah they tell you about the application, but they can't help you! As DataX will only deal with you! They have a block button for payday loans, it doesn't do anything! As I've had several of these applications attempted in the last year or so. Title monitor for your house, yeah doesn't do anything either, I made some changes to a couple of properties we own on titles, never did get an update on those changes! So my personal perspective, it may seem like a cool or great thing to have. It's NOT! We're trying another service to see if it any better. Lots of wasted money, serious stress and screwed up credit scores when you trusted a company to protect you! Probably better just to sign up for free monitors with the 3 credit bureaus. Significant regret.

My husband and I were very happy and long-time members of USAA and LifeLock before his death in May 2023. As I went to USAA.com, I learned they had a special phone number and email for bereaved families. A designated team helped me make the necessary account changes. LifeLock was a nightmare by comparison. Both companies required us to cancel the former shared account. The opening of the new USAA account took time but we didn't have to start over. LifeLock cancelled the shared account and then their staff had no history of me as a member or of any services to me. Despite being their customer since 2015 and receiving individual as well as joint credit updates, suddenly all of that information was locked. I could not use an email associated with the shared account for the new account and could not pass a "verification" step. I no longer qualified for services I had been receiving for years.
After spending more than 3 hours in 2 phone calls and with two case numbers and talking to 7-9 agents in different departments, their answer to me was lower the level of service to exclude credit monitoring (which I want) and for me to provide documentation to prove to them who I am! I insisted on a Supervisor who finally got the problem resolved, but these processes are in stark contrast to the caring policies at USAA. Many widows and widowers face these account challenges and having protocols in place for these special needs customers should be part of LifeLock's service system. I strongly urge LifeLock to develop a team and processes capable of helping bereaved spouses in less than 3 hours and without multiple phone calls. This frustrating experience in no way affects my satisfaction with general services which have been excellent. Case Numbers: **

I cancelled my subscriptions (2) last year. Cancelled means I don’t want or need their services any longer! They started charging me again but instead of saying Lifelock on my debit card it said Norton. I thought maybe my husband signed up for something. After a few months of seeing the same charge I looked into it. Come to find out Lifelock had one of the subscriptions on auto-renew. So even though both subscriptions were cancelled, they started one back up on auto-renew. When I called they wouldn’t refund the money they stole from me. They are criminals, period.

I will add to the chorus of negative reviews about Norton LifeLock. My experience with them has been horrible. I tried to help my elderly mother navigate their "customer service" line and it was one of the most inefficient encounters I have had with a company's customer support line. They couldn't find her account, even after answering securing questions, last four of the social, year of birth, email address, and identification #s taken straight from one of their own in invoices. We got passed around and around, and it was clear the reps we spoke with either weren't knowledgeable enough or didn't have the authority to solve problems.
Then I asked to escalate the matter and got more of the same. After over an hour running around in circles, I said we just wanted to cancel the service, and our call was disconnected when they tried to transfer. This required yet ANOTHER call, to cancel the service because we'd had quite enough. But it was the same thing all over again: email, year of birth, last four of the social, security questions... all to be told that they couldn't find the account, even though we were reading verbatim from a bill they'd sent us.
I worked in consumer experience for years and am familiar with the systems and processes that companies have in place to try and create a consumer-centered experience. This company doesn't appear to utilize any of them. No one did anything more than respond from a script and transfer us back and forth to other people who responded from scripts, often over very poor phone connections. Every single time we've called for assistance over the last few years we've had representatives who are very difficult to understand.
They have heavy accents and it is clear that English is not their first language. This is simply unacceptable when your job is supposed to be to troubleshoot problems and help customers find solutions. I'm amazed that the company has maintained the reputation it apparently has for being a leader among identity theft and antivirus software providers in the US. Buyer beware. Life is too short to have to deal with these hassles for a PAID SERVICE.

I signed up for LifeLock for an added layer of protection against identity theft and for my real estate home title protection. After signing up, LifeLock could not find my properties literally 6 months into a paid service. When I called for help, I became immediately aware that the only thing they offered was to be transferred around in a loop between telemarketing service centers. My problems have never been resolved. I literally bought and sold property that never appeared on their list to monitor on my behalf. The only thing I was ever told was that the problem I was having had been reported and that they were working on it. Months later I received the same response each time. I decided to cancel because I have determined the service is a scam. God help you if you ever have a real serious identity issue because I don't know how you would get service to fix or repair anything when they cannot do the most simple of tasks.
I am however, concerned about what Lifelock is doing with all of my personal information at this point. Be sure to double and triple confirm that you are not in an automated system which will auto renew your service contract. I did not even know this existed but it is like a subscription. If you miss the deadline you are locked into paying hundreds of dollars for another year of service without any option to prorate it and discontinue. I have paid for service that I have never received. LifeLock is a scam and the only thing that they offered me was to have conversations with foreign telemarketing service centers around the world, none of whom could resolve a single problem that I had. Run for the hills on this one. The commercials are completely made up, there is no one there to help you and when you have a problem you're on your own with nothing but talk.

Was member for several years & received absolutely poor customer service for the past 2 yrs. This product is seriously suboptimal & Lifelock's claim that it is U.S. based (that's their mailing address in Arizona) is not the truth as every customer service rep was in the Philippines. The Lifelock product failed on 2 occasions to help when my identity was stolen, claiming I had to do the work & if unsuccessful then they would help. Useless product /Useless company. There are respectable products/companies that are U.S. based with customer service profiles that are favorable.
To add insult to injury, called to cancel subscriptions which took the rep 21 minutes & 41 seconds to do this simple task; he then sent an email which was incorrect & told me to disregard. He tried to resell the product & had to be told to stop wasting my time & reading from a script. Don't waste time, money. Don't succumb to their questionable business acumen, poor product & absent customer service.

I had trouble with 2-factor identification so I called the company. I was told that I would need to create a new account. Bear in mind, my email is connected to all my accounts. After speaking to the first rep, I hung up because I had spent 1.5 hours trying to get her to understand what I wanted. This company was once a US-based company. Now they get people who can barely speak English. I cancelled my account with those jokers and would not get a portion of the account money refunded because it was 150 days old.

I subscribed to Norton Lifelock 360 for my MacBook Pro. I tried to use the "clean" feature that was included with my subscription and it failed to work properly. I chose "chat" to get help in getting this task to work with no success. I allowed the service agent to access my computer to solve the problem and it totally messed up my computer without fixing the issue I was trying to get fixed. I was even dropped from one chat and had to start the process over again. I interacted with 3 service agents and not one of them were able to fix the "clean" feature. I asked them to remove all the files they downloaded onto my computer but they didn't.
My computer was left with files I could not remove myself which were interfering with screens on my macbook. I had to reinstall the OS and recover from my backup. After a lot of aggravation and work on my part I finally have my computer back. I canceled Norton Lifelock and got a refund and canceled auto renewal. If they cannot get their app to function properly how can they possibly protect my computer. The technical service agents seem incompetent.

I have been a Lifelock customer for several years - BEFORE Norton took them over. Now, they are impossible to deal with. To renew your subscription, you would think you could access your account on their website and once you click on Renew, you would be able to see the various plans and pricing available to you as an existing customer. But, no - the pages on the screen keep changing and trying to make you subscribe to their most expensive plans in the $300+ and $400+ per yr. price ranges. So, you must speak to an agent who tries to sell you other stuff you don't need.
No, because Norton is involved, their packages include antivirus coverage, which I don't need - I have McAfee for that. Then they try to sell you computer tech assistance coverage, which I don't need - I have my Dell Premium for that. It's horrible. Years ago, when it was just Lifelock, you purchased and paid for Identity Theft coverage - that's all I want. I just hung up and told the rep I have to think about it. It's absolutely a horrible system, with the reps trying to upsell other products attached to what used to be "plain vanilla" identity theft coverage. I'm going to look elsewhere!

I have been a member of LifeLock for years, and every time I have wanted to upgrade or make a change to my subscription which you can only do by phone, it has taken hours, with reps you can barely understand. They transfer you to numerous departments just to get pricing, was on hold today for 25 minutes just to get a price to upgrade my account, and still hadn't addressed the renewal so who knows how long that would have taken. I hung up and decided not to renew as this is the 3rd year in a row this has happened.

We were longtime Lifelock clients. Our accounts (husband & myself) had lapsed a year ago during a difficult time following a major health issue. When I tried to renew this a.m., they charged me, sent me emails but no order number, but when our account still showed up as expired I called customer service. Initially, they couldn't even see the payments even though my bank account had been charged. It took nearly 3 hours, 2 "agents" and a "supervisor" to finally figure out how to find these 2 annual payments. I finally canceled the accounts (another agent and 20 minutes more). Of course, it'll take 10 days to return my money -- this ineptness from the company that is supposed to protect us? They've breached my trust.

The customer service is a nightmare.

I got so frustrated I decided to cancel my service but they are so reluctant to give a refund that each agent promised I'd get it from the NEXT department until 5 agents and fake supervisors later, they will review the case and let me know what they decide.

I had to quit my membership due to a computer error. I tried to update credit cards and I was told they can't confirm my info. She said she would get a supervisor. Then she said a supervisor was unavailable and I need to keep calling till I can get a hold of someone. She was very apologetic but couldn't help me. So I let my membership expire and went with somebody else. I tried to get a hold of them through the feedback area of the main website but they ignored my plea for help. Apparently, they weren't interested in keeping me as a customer.

OK I will first say that I WAS a long time subscriber of LifeLock for almost 10 years now and their service was great and the customer service use to be fantastic. As time has passed after Symantec/Norton purchasing Lifelock the quality of their customer services has greatly diminished let alone I keep having the Norton products shoved down my throat constantly through emails. I unsubscribe and they stop for a while and then resume.
I purchased Lifelock services specifically for the services they offered not to purchase internet security for my personal PC. I think the merger of these two companies has literally wrecked the Lifelock brand and the level of customer service you will receive based on my experiences over the last 3 months which have been unconscionable coming from a company that is left to be responsible for the security of your personal information and identity of millions of people.
Lots of things have changed in the web development part of their business and one things I don't like is, being on their web site you notice you really have to look hard within your account to contact customer support and you come to the realization you can't. There is no way after logging in within your account to send a message to Lifelock, you have to visit another web site, create and account and login again.
The option given to contact support leads you back to a phone call which I will get into later, Facebook and twitter which I find extremely unsettling that a company that is protecting us from fraud chooses to use social media to allow contact for support. Not all of us use facebook and or twitter Nor do I wish to be communicating with LifeLock on these platforms. And then you have the chat window which for me never opened up but would not be much different the chatting with some one on the phone. For the most part it leaves you feeling they are trying more to avoid you then actually opening up a way for you to communicate. Good developers always have a means of communication within the account holders login area, more personal which I would expect when talking sensitive information, not facebook or twitter.
So the reason I am leaving this information is to alert potential customers that you can sign up but you may experience much difficulty when it comes to getting help and a straight answer to your questions and when interacting with phone support you will be talking to people overt seas or who knows where and will in most cases have much difficulty understanding what they are saying and be left feeling that your information is not really secure, it leaves me feeling at unease.
So here it is and this is why I will not be using Lifelock services any longer, my experience as it unfolded over the last three months. So it started 3 months ago and I remind you I have been a Lifelock member for almost a decade and always was provided great customer service and always got an individual on the phone that was American and I could fully understand and I was left feeling confident that I was being provided a valuable service and my identity was being protected.
Now I call I get an individual that I struggle to understand, I have to ask them to repeat them self several times and in some rare cases I still am not sure what they said. I call to have issues resolved and they go through the action of doing so and insure me that all is correct and then a month later I get another email and text message telling me my subscription has expired. I called three times in the last three months because my account expired even though the individual on the phone assured me that the auto pay on my debit card was set active, it never happened.
So for three months now I get an email and text message stating my subscription has expired, we set up auto pay all three times yet after a month it continues to be expired and I have to waste valuable time sitting on hold to talk to someone that will put me right back in the same situation the following month. After three months of this I have given up all confidence in Lifelock to manage my account and personal information based on the incompetency of their support people they hire.
LifeLock needs professionals answering the phone not people that are located in a different location or country, people that can speak proper English clearly and so I don't have to listen to screaming children or pets barking in the background. Who are these people, where are they located and who in their right mind believes anyone would feel comfortable allowing them to access my personal account to assist me in any manner. This just = unconscionable to me and I would highly recommend not using Norton LifeLock services until they get better work ethics and clean up their operation when it comes to customer support.
LifeLock use to have a fantastic web site that was easy to navigate and looked very professional. Now we have this ugly 1990's looking web site which appears to work hard on not allowing you to communicate with LifeLock and looks like someone slapped it together in a few hours. It's one of the reasons I altogether stopped going to use the web site. My personal feeling is Symantec should have their own web site so the web site isn't so confusing. If I want internet security I will go look for it.
Last note when the LifeLock web pages were converted over to this Norton version not all information was carried over. My personal data like address and location were left empty and the state was Alabama which is totally wrong. It had removed most of my personal information and or entered it wrong. I also wanted to cancel my account and remove all my personal data off their web site today but I see no option allowing me to do so, kind of strange coming from a company that is suppose to protect you from your personal information being on the internet.
I will find services elsewhere at this point seeing they continuously keep making my account expire and the people I call on the phone never get it correct, I can't communicate with someone from corporate that I can understand and when I asked to talk to a supervisor they would not allow me but once and that person did not correct my issues. I had to call 4 times in one day to get a supervisor in most cases I was just left on hold forever and never got a supervisor.

I have had a Norton charge on my account for years. I have tried to cancel it to no avail. I call the number associated with the charge, it's LifeLock and they want me to verify my account that I don't know anything about. All I know is that someone set up a LifeLock account on my credit card. They are very unhelpful in helping me with an actual fraud that they are making money on. I have gone through my credit card company and canceled the charges but they reoccur because it's a subscription. I even canceled my card and moved to a different credit card company, it just shows up again. LifeLock is not at all helpful in canceling the account. They read off all of the information to verify the account, I keep telling them I don't know anything. They just keep reading their script. No help. Norton is corrupt.

Pls. do not use LifeLock, save yourself your hard earned money, time and energy when you try to cancel, they say they will and then they continue to charge you. I cancelled May 2022 and still going through it. I called several time and last sept 28th 2022 to tell them the issue, they agreed with me, said they would refund and cancel my service...Called back today Oct 11th and guess what? They didn't! No refund and NO CANCELLATION!!! Going through credit card company now to start a case against them. They're supposed to stop this sort of stuff not instigate it. Dreadful. Shame on you LifeLock!!

I am posting this after 18 years with LifeLock. Lifelock started out as a true pioneer in consumer data protection. Initially, we were truly happy with their services. But... But what happened to them? We cannot recognize the service that USED TO BE quick, intuitive, practical and proficient in consumer advocacy. Now, they are just a useless bloatware sidearm of Norton antiVirus Corp. Their tier 1 (and tier 2) representatives seem to be exquisitely trained to exude almost sycophantic politeness, but sorely lack basic competence. This is maddening! After half-a-dozen phone calls (each no less than 30-40 minutes), prompted by my desire to find out why ALL our bank accounts have been disconnected from LifeLock monitoring service, it would be great to talk to someone who can actually understand the issue involved, right? I mean, monitoring their clients' sensitive financial information is the main purpose of LifeLock... one would think. Wrongly.
We are about to cancel LifeLock and take our chances with another credit monitoring agency plus a credit freeze with Experian/Equifax/TransUnion. I mean what's the point? At least once a year, seemingly for no reason at all, LifeLock (the monitoring company) STOPS MONITORING our accounts. We never get notified of this disruption, and the only way to resume the service is to delete all the accounts and re-enter all account numbers manually again. This arduous task would seem like a minor nuisance if it weren't for a massive theft of our identity that took place 7 years ago, where our information was somehow hacked, and someone filed tax returns in our names. (Oh, by the way, that's when we found out that LifeLock does NOT protect you from this common scam, despite their assurance that they fastidiously monitor the "Dark Web for [our] personal information." Also, they do NOT help you resolve this with IRS.)
I know that I sound like just another frustrated customer (and I am... I mean, shouldn't I be?), but these guys should stop offering services that they cannot provide. You want to sell anti-virus software? Fine. Do that. But don't claim that you can deliver other services that you cannot. In our case, the account monitoring stopped three weeks ago (!).
For the last week I've been crawling out of my skin in attempts to at least talk to someone (anyone) within or outside their Philippines service center, who would understand the seriousness of the problem AND perhaps be able to fix the issue. The best I got so far is a solemn promise that someone will call me back regarding this. I've been waiting for almost a week for this phone call. I can't imagine how it will go. Let's see... I get a phone call from an unknown number, where an unknown person will identify him/her/it/zer-self as a "LifeLock representative" and "in order to establish [my] correct identity" will ask me for... what exactly? My name and social? Date of birth? Address? Mother's maiden name? Have you guys gone completely insane or just generally stupid and severely incompetent?
