When we signed on, it was with the explicit understanding that all services were to be US based. This has changed, with customer service now being off-shore (the Philippines). We were, in fact, told that this was the reason LifeLock could not service my husband's English accts, because Lifelock would not be using offshore help. Very dissatisfied, and not feeling secure at all. Our confidence in Lifelock is now non-existent.

I bought their policy for ten years and tried to make a claim and they did not cover it. They have a insurance company that makes the decision and then say they have to let them handle it and they can't do anything about settlements but that is not who you pay the money to.

Lifelock is really great when it comes to protecting your identity. The first step to setting it up will be the longest process, after that, all you have to do from there is pretty much nothing. Lifelock will send or call you if they see a transaction that they feel should be question.

It's easy to use. They email you with any changes. It's easy to log in and check your credit. The service affords a layer of protection for your identity that takes seconds!

LifeLock notifies you immediately with a phone call and messages either through text and email or all three when others there's any activity detected that they notify you almost instantaneously regardless if you're in the US or different country. I find this especially effective from a security standpoint and would recommend this service to anybody all three levels that they offer including some of their free products like a free Shredder after two or three months of use,

They are great at signing you up, processing your payment and advertising their security controls but I wonder if they will truly be there for me if my identity is stolen or my accounts accessed.

We have had LifeLock for five years now. We chose them for several reasons, they insisted on full protection on me because of upcoming events in my life called retirement, protection over our credit, and now Norton protection for our wireless devices. The stars and business that put their trust in them. What other company can say that?

The price is high, but the service is excellent. Their monitoring service is excellent in noticing, fixing and reporting possible identity thefts. When they noticed anything strange or not usual for you they will reach out to you to see if it was you or not.

Lifelock makes me feel secure in knowing that I am protected against fraud, identity theft and the like. I know that if anything should happen Lifelock will take care of it right away and they make you feel safe, and stress free. I took me awhile to decide to get this protection and after doing my homework and reading reviews, I decided Lifelock was the best around and is totally worth it. Customer service is wonderful, so helpful and makes me feel relieved knowing I have them behind me 100% in case I find my self in a situation where my identity could be stolen. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for that extra security.

Life Lock and protection apps like then are a good idea ave are useful.

The more personal information you enter into your account the more protection you will get. I am mostly pleased in that they alert you very fast with most problems. However, my big disappointment was when our family of 4 was hacked in our IRS account and our SSNs used to retrieve a huge refund. It took many years and a ridiculous amount of time to prove to the IRS we are the 'real' account owners and get our $3,000 refund back, which we needed badly to pay off bills. Lifelock did not detect this hack. Maybe it's not part of their deal. Not sure.

LifeLock is a time tested product that has led the industry in identity protection. The company pioneered the industry, and has expanded its product scope and improved not only itself, but has pushed the other participants to step up their efforts to improve their offerings.

Service as advertised. However, systems...text, VM, PC and PH App are not seamlessly tied together and you may clear the alert and then see it again and again via different sources even though you’ve already cleared/ ok’d it. Notifications are not always clear to interpret. If you are shopping for finance, expect multiple notifications, sometimes many days later. Now trying to push monthly fees to annuals. That tells me they are trying to ensure they keep revenues locked down. Now trying to push another fee at you with Norton Antivirus scare tactics. Too bad no guarantee with it! At $ 30.00 a month it’s not cheap, but I’ve had it for years. I’m retired now and on a fixed income... I am looking at my options.

I was offered a trial offer with Lifelock, and that was before I understood what Identity theft was, or the dangers of cyberspace. I was a victim of fraud, forgery, and it took forever to complete the process for reversal and my credit took a great nosedive. Had I had Lifelock sooner that whole experience never would have happened, because as soon as there is an attempt to use my personal info Lifelock will verify that if you're aware of this transaction. The response and staff support is very understanding and polite. They offer a full spectrum of services which are always improvising and upgrading to make sure you have the best protection.

On Dec. 7, 2019 I did my weekly check on my primary credit card. I noted that numerous fraudulent charges had been made on Dec. 5. I called the LifeLock number on their website. I got a representative in the Philippines and neither of us could understand each other. So I called back, several times. Every LifeLock representative I reached was not a native English speaker. I asked to talk to a rep in the United States. He did not understand. I cancelled my LifeLock accounts a few days later after they were unable to help me after my identity had been stolen.
I morning after I fired LifeLock, a native English speaker called me to ask about my cancelled membership. His only goal was to get me to sign up again and had no concern about my stolen identity. The discussion got heated and their damage control guy was angry with me for "mocking" their Pilipino employees. I apologize for anything that led him to this conclusion. Was I angry? Yes. My problem was not with the non-native English speakers. My problem is with LifeLock for outsourcing their call centers for US calls to representatives that cannot converse easily in English. I know that the cost of labor and out-sourcing is more profitable for large international corporations. But putting service first and fixing identity theft problems is their primary marketable product. As a customer of LifeLock for many years, I feel that they have stolen my money and falsely represented their expertise.

Be careful to read the small print. Automatic renewals are a big negative! Customer service was really not helpful, in fact, they will give you an attitude such as "you should have" in other words it's your fault. Make sure you get both e-mails and texts other wise you'll probably miss an alert. I'll never recommend this company.

Be aware all your customer service calls will go to an India call center, with employees paid below a dollar an hour, not exactly the home of secure data services. You should also be aware that LifeLock sends monthly emails regarding any of your accounts that arent reporting (this is a common occurrence, that usually fixes itself). That may seem fine, until you receive a multiple acct warning. In a spectacular lack of security, LifeLock then sends you an email unencrypted, containing open text that identifies your financial accts by name (bank, credit union, brokerage). This is an inexcusably stupid thing to do, given their so-called reputation for security. I personally have a secure email (protonmail.com) that easily allows secure transmission of encrypted messages, so what is their excuse? NONE, so far.
I filed an official complaint with case number, but after weeks of delay, no response, and no actions whatsoever. In today's age of truly good customer service (Walmart and Amazon for great examples) this is ridiculous. LifeLock should NEVER identify your actual account locations in unencrypted communications, email, text msg, etc. This is BASIC common sense. Name, address, phone numbers are easy marks, then you provide financial info locations? Why not just send potential hackers ss numbers to finish the job. Incredibly poor judgement, absolutely no resond to complaints, and data center workers that can make YEARS worth of money selling your data in their corrupt country? THINK TWICE about using LifeLock, as they have serious internal problems.

Autumn from Lifelock was able to provide lifetime promo code of 50% off plan basically same had before.
Original Review: Dec. 8, 2019
I have been using a discounted plan on Lifelock for many years. I Called in about a problem with my login, and support said I could try out advantage plan for 30 days. The rep said this plan was better than my current plan. The Lifelock support rep said that if I preferred the plan I have been on for the last few years instead, I could go back to that original plan within 30 days with the exact same plan and price I have always had. I made sure to ask more than once that it would not be a problem to go back to what I currently have with no changes, and the Lifelock support rep said yes.
The next day I called LifeLock because I was charged for a full year rather than just one month as had been discussed with their rep. I decided didn't want advantage plan, and wanted to go back to what I already had before. However, this time, the support rep said I can't go back to my old plan. I asked support to talk with their manager and the manager also said I can't use my old plan because they no longer have the promo code I originally used through my company years ago (which was in full effect one day before and would still be in effect if they had not changed it for me). I am sure the original conversation was recorded and I suggested to the manager that they play it back to hear the discussion. The manager was not interested in doing that. Since LifeLock support made the mistake saying I could go back to my original plan, they should honor what their employees tells customers. Very disappointed.

We are constantly being told that Lifelock cannot access our bank accounts and asking us to reconnect. Their "canned" written response to complaints is always the same. That it is the bank's fault. Lifelock should have had preset contracts and agreements with client's banks in order to be able to monitor at all times. We are asked to reconnect almost on a weekly basis. Not happy at all with this and their excuse that the bank is the primary custodian and if we find any fraudulent action they would assist. This kind of defeats the object of their being able to monitor at all times, Which what we signed up for. Seriously thinking of discontinuing the service when they year's payment is up.

Lifelock doesn't do a very good job at catching what's happening. We bought a new house a month ago, had different lenders pull credit over that time in the app process, and we even received a credit report in the mail from the bank as far back as 5 months ago. Never heard a word From Lifelock on the activity. Had our address changed last month through USPS. Again, no notification this time. Although I did receive one in May when I had it changed the first time. Credit card was compromised with bogus charges 6 weeks ago. Didn't catch that either, even though I had the account linked. At an annual cost of $234, I'm pretty sure we will not be renewing.

Lifelock is another scam that will find every reason why they should not pay you. 2009 My identity stolen by someone that worked for me a short time answering phones. I finally found out where the identity theft was coming from myself. I never used online anything for paying bills. I did all checks and balances. I found mistakes every time from vendors. Never in my favor. Lifelock used every single excuses to not be responsible. A whole online profile was done under my name. I couldn't even stop the theft. Everyone treated me like a criminal. She made a mistake by creating an office depot delivery address to her house. $41k I had to put the case together and put her in prison.
According to lifelock if anyone has access to your mail they are not responsible. This mean everyone is not covered. Your mail passes through 6 sets of hands before it reaches your desk. That's exactly what they said when I screamed you mean no one is protected if a random stranger grabs your mail and we don't even if it came from that. They needed to throw a hail mary to get out of helping and asked if anyone had access to my mail.

This is my second attempt to use LifeLock since I cancelled the first subscription. Financial Transactions did not work the first subscription and now with the second new subscription it still doesn’t work. Combined for both subscriptions I have called or reported the problem 12 times with no results. The new LifeLock comes with Norton which is a nightmare installing the software after which the LifeLock portion locked up requiring me to uninstall the software. I have had the ultimate for 3 days and after talking to support twice and being passed around to technicians who barely speak English I hung up. I plan to cancel this second subscription and will write off my monthly payment as a lesson learned twice! The addition of Norton is not a benefit in my opinion and the website is confusing to navigate.

I called to confirm that LifeLock could assist with "problematic" identity confirmation at 2 of the three credit agencies. (My SSN was recently breached). I stated I was not interested or need the Norton 360 software/services on any of my devices. The answers from the agent were: 1. I have a different skill set here and I'm very good at my job. 2. No the entry level products won't help you, you need our "premium" product and 3. The standard legal disclosure was repeated at least 3 times, in substitute of an answer if they could help ....
Of course the sales agent could verify my identity and suggested that I wait for the welcome email packet.... That arrived with all of the instruction for downloading another dense N360 software, and instructions for my dashboard. Attempting to sign in, was a disaster, there are at least two portals, but my acount wasn't known to both sites. Finding the personal dashboard was not straight forward at all. Once I signed in, I was presented multiple options for "upgrading" the $275.00 purchase made just that day before. It appears there's more implied assistance than actual, and this needs to be DISCOVERED. And the sales associate, was simply disingenuous. I may post my future experience after seeking adjustment on what I was 'SOLD' as addressing my needs.

My wife tried to set up her account online. LifeLock pulls erroneous data from public records which then screws up your account creation requiring a call to customer service. They could not even figure out that my wife's relatives have been dead for years, yet LifeLock asked for their ages. They can't seem to separate my wife and someone else with the same name elsewhere in the neighborhood. So what good are they?

Updated 10/11/2019: I spent over an hour on the phone with a LifeLock support agent. None of their offered approaches worked. Agent finally said to log into my bank account online and change my bank login credentials. I don't think so cupcake! Turns out that Lifelock does not support Capital One Bank. Called Lifelock billing to cancel my service, and that support person told me that while not monitoring my bank accounts or credit cards, that Lifelock did provide me with some "service", but not all that I was paying for. Solved the problem by having to forcefully request that I wanted my service cancelled and I required a refund. I was less than a month into an annual subscription. They cancelled my service as requested and said they would be refunding my subscription - hmmmm we'll see!
Lifelock support is useless, and they do not provide any useful information, and by my experience, obviously could not care less. Looking at the reviews posted here, the vast majority of respondents indicated similar dis-satisfaction. After being burned by Lifelock and their double-talk, I would recommend just using the bank's own internal security systems for bank accounts and credit cards. Cost is generally $0.
Original Review: Several weeks ago, I received a standard email saying something about my account being "disconnected". The text in the message uses language that may be relevant to Lifelock, but to a subscriber it is just techno-babble. Tried working through Customer Support.

When I signed up for LifeLock it seemed like a great idea but immediately upon getting set up for this "service" I found that I really did not have the computer skills to understand what I needed to do to utilize the full service. I tried to reach out to Lifelock but could not get an actual human to help me. I made the decision that I was probably just that I did not have enough computer skills and that the service would alert me if I was not "protected" by them properly. Apparently, that is not the case and when I have tried to get certain issues resolved I get email responses to my requests for help that have nothing to do with my actual problem. If you are a millennial and have never known life without a computer you will likely be just fine but for all other people, approach this "service" with extreme caution! DO NOT expect actual support.

I signed up with LifeLock after my identity was stolen to protect myself. One month after sign up on August 23 2019, I received an email from LifeLock about changing my email address which I didn’t change. Someone hacked my account and changed my username to their email account making it impossible to log in. I called LifeLock two hours after the hack, I spent two hours on the phone with them while being transferred four times and explaining the problem four times. One of the representatives emailed my case number to the hacker's email address.
I then demanded a new case number. They refused to help me fix my account and reset my email to my original and only email account. They said someone would call me about my case in 2-3 business days, I waited and called them back on the third business day. They said I needed to wait longer and keep an eye on my account for suspicious activity, I reminded her I don’t have access to my account but the hacker does. She said “oh, yeah, sorry” and still refused to reset my email account. My account was stolen on August 23rd and I still haven’t heard from anyone and I still don’t have access to my account, but my hacker does. Don’t waste your time, money, or energy with LifeLock, they truly don’t care about their customers or protecting their identity.

I was a victim of identity theft in 2016 and have been paying for LifeLock every month since. I found out a couple weeks ago (from a free service I was also using) that my identity was stolen once again and was used to open 2 bank accounts, get 2 visa cards and apply for 2 loans - all in the last 3 months.

LifeLock is a misleading and crooked company.

I was very pleasantly surprised that shortly after I posted my negative review, a representative from the "Symantec Corporation, Consumer Business Unit - LifeLock" emailed me and said that they had contacted American Airlines and would post the miles that day. I checked today and the miles are in there. The customer service from this Consumer Business Unit was fantastic, in the sharpest contrast to the customer service from the representatives when one calls the LifeLock number and even the LifeLock supervisors. I have added a star to the review, updating it from one to two stars. I would have updated it to three stars, but I can't say that I was "satisfied with the experience" when it still took hours on the phone and many months to get the miles they promised. However, if customers have some way to get to speak to this division of Symantec, it appears they have the power to actually help customers out. If you are able to bypass the front line LIfeLock reps to get to someone who will help you, or if LifeLock trains its representatives to actually meet the needs of customers on such issues, you may be able to get 5-star customer service (that is what I just received now) instead of the one-star service I received before. Maybe there is hope for LifeLock customer service--I trust they see it is important if they wish to create customer loyalty.

We signed up with Lifelock because they promised to give us a significant number of airline miles. We met all the requirements, but they refused to credit them. Their agents recognized that we did but kept giving us different reasons for why the miles were not posting. They finally told us that we needed to contact the airline to get LifeLock to post the miles (!!!) although there was absolutely nothing wrong with our miles account. Do NOT believe ads stating they will give you anything for signing up. They didn't for us, and they wasted a huge amount of our time trying to get what they promised us. Their service is also just about useless. You can get free identity theft protection from Credit Sesame and free credit bureau monitoring from them, Credit Karma, and other companies.

The problem is if you select yes because you recently (in the last month) applied for a credit card/loan and a identity thief did the same thing in that time frame, then the suspicious activity will be dismissed as your own - whether or not you were the one applying for the credit card or loan.
Luckily for me, I got a rejection letter from the credit card company notifying me they could not process the request to open up the new credit card because they were unable to verify my identity. A credit card I never applied for. LifeLock dismissed the credit card application alert as my own, because I had recently applied for a credit card somewhere else and answered yes to one of their questions.
I spoke to LifeLock to tell them the newest request for a credit card application was not me. They emailed me saying that they “did a thorough investigation of this matter and determined the alert is a duplicate for an alert you already approved. With this information, we were able to close the investigation. No further action is required." The problem was that it was actually fraudulent activity, which I ended up resolving through TransUnion and the credit card’s fraud department
I then called LifeLock to file a complaint and was told that I should have selected “no” to the questions (about the credit card application & credit review alert). And because I selected yes to a credit review that was generated from this fraudulent credit card application, they automatically matched it with the other alert and dismissed it. During my subsequent follow up calls to LifeLock, I asked them about the “thorough investigation” and was basically told that they reviewed my alerts and because I marked one as suspicious and the other one as mine, that they matched them together and the alert was dismissed. Long story short, their services are unreliable and certainly not worth the cost.

I have been a member of LifeLock for several years and over the past 6 weeks have become a victim of identify theft. Three credit card applications were filed using my name and SSN. Two applications were filed attempting to open new telecommunications accounts and two applications were filed to open new bank accounts in my name. Of those, LifeLock alerted me to one credit card application and one of the applications for new telecom services. It did not alert me to either of the two applications for a bank account.
While I was able to stop the credit card applications by virtue of Lifelock's alert -- and other assistance I received -- one of the telecom accounts was successful opened by the fraudster (for which I did not receive any notification from LifeLock) and that fraudulently obtained phone number (registered in my name) was used to open and verify a credit union account in my name (for which I was not notified by LifeLock). Were it not for the efforts of a very alert and proactive fraud manager at the credit union, I would not have been aware either of that account or of the phone number that was fraudulently opened in my name and that was used as the basis upon which to open the credit union account. And it was that same fraud manager, not LifeLock, who alerted me to ChexSystems.com -- which banks use (rather than a credit bureau like Equifax) to verify details necessary to open a bank account.
The bottom line is that I would give LifeLock a C+ grade -- it's better than nothing and certainly has its uses but it is far from complete. Of the 7 instances of identify theft of which I currently am aware (3 credit card applications, 2 applications for telecom services, and 2 attempts to open bank accounts in my name), LifeLock caught 2 -- that's not even 1/3 that LifeLock caught. In my view, that is not a winning percentage. As a consequence, I am currently looking for another identity theft monitoring service with a better batting average.

I signed up with LifeLock a number of years ago. I added my wife to the plan and paid my fees annually in advance. Over the years all I have gotten were mostly credit score changes or new account openings. Until yesterday when an email was sent to my wife at my email address (the only one they have). It is a Dark Web Alert with no additional data. I tried logging into the portal but there was no alert on my account so I decided to call. After going through an agonizing 20 minute computer speak session. I had to enter my wife's SS number, birth date several times.
Finally I was transferred to a customer service representative. I explained that I wanted to find out what action I had to take as a result of this alert. He responded by saying that he couldn't talk to me about it and asked to speak to my wife. I explained that my wife has been in a memory care facility for the last two plus years. He recommended I send in a power of attorney and then they could speak to me. I asked for a supervisor and got the same response so after an hour on the phone I give up, I still don't know what the alert was about. They said they were going to email me a power of attorney form, it has not arrived. What is funny is I can add people to the family account, cancel people from the account. There is only one billing account, one email and one password. It is so bad. I intend to cancel my subscription as it is worthless if I can't even access my family information. James **.

I canceled my family's membership on February 14th and continue to get charged every month. The first month I called to see what happened and was told they were "aware that a bunch of customers were accidentally charged and they were working on getting it cleared up ASAP". They refunded one of the 5 accounts I was charged for the following week. The next month I was charged again. I called and the customer service rep told me that I should call my bank to stop payments. I asked her to contact billing since she would not transfer me to them and ask them to fix the billing due to the fact that I no longer had an account.
This month I was again charged for all 5 of my accounts. I called again and got the same message to call my bank and request a stop payment for all things coming from Lifelock. It seems like they are not wanting to do their job and passing me off the a bank?! I asked to speak to a supervisor. After 45 minutes, Barbara finally answered and told me I could not speak to billing about refunding the past months of payments even when I did not have an account. She told me she would file a message and get it to billing. "Great. Can they call me and let me know when they have processed a refund for the account that is canceled?" Nope. I was told they do not make or receive calls from billing.
"Ok, may I please speak to your supervisor?" Nope. She could only fill out a request to have someone call me in 3-5 days. Seriously? LifeLock is unwilling to rectify mistakes and make it right. I did a little research and they are not part of the BBB. Makes sense why, right? I have since contacted my bank and filed a fraudulent claim against them for the past months that I was charged for a service I was not receiving. Too bad it ended this way. I did like the service while I used it and would have likely returned in the future if I felt I needed monitoring again. I no longer can say that.

The service intermittently loses connection with your bank so they will not send you alerts and you don't know this unless you log into your account. Every month you get the same alerts over and over about your mortgage, credit card payments etc. The software is not smart enough to know these are recurring payments and therefore should not alert you. Because the last I knew the bad guys would not be logging into your account and pay your bills! It did recently alert me to some fitness website allegedly tied into my name on the dark web, but I have no clue what it is and they give you no help identifying. I am only paying for the base service through my work so maybe that is why. Perhaps the more you pay the more they protect you.

Calls to the Credit Union for this information have gone unanswered/I can't get the information from them... So... I have no way to report the fraud via LifeLock, or receive advice about what to do next, I haven't returned the Affidavit (due TODAY) out of fear of further compromising myself, and it is unclear whether the situation is resolved or not. What's the point in paying for this service if I can't get help when I need it? Note, I tried to contact LifeLock for support via their web portal, only received the following auto-response: "We are sorry, your request cannot be processed at this time.

Previously I had a LifeLock account as an individual but when I found that I could get a better deal I went with my employer. In June of 2018, my wallet was stolen. I reported it to LifeLock and was told that I was not enrolled with them. The funny thing is at that point they had accepted $873 in payroll deductions while knowingly not providing coverage.
I tried to explain to LifeLock that I was covered through my employer but customer service was unable to help me. Eventually customer service at LifeLock told me that the reason I was not covered was because they still had my original account. Their reasoning was you cannot have two LifeLock accounts. The account they were speaking of had been closed out so that one with my employer could be opened. I sent a detailed certified letter to that effect in September of 2015 and was assured that it would be taken care of. Finally my HR Director was able to get the situation straightened out.
I left my job in December of 2018 and I contacted LifeLock via certified mail to ask for a refund for the three and a half years to which I was not covered. I sent detailed backup as proof that they received the money and did not provide the service. I sent a follow-up letter via certified and as of this date they have not even had the courtesy to respond.
Today when I called customer service, after being put on hold for many times I was told that I would have to call my HR director and asked her for a refund for services that LifeLock had not provided but yet took the money for. How ridiculous is that? My next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Attorney General of the state of New Jersey through their Division of Consumer Affairs. I think it's pretty egregious that a company would be so hubris as to not even respond to a letter regarding this issue.

We cancelled LifeLock on 2 occasions. Called. Told them not to renew but they keep charging anyway. Please do yourself a favor and don't start a LifeLock account. Even if you cancel a credit card and get a new one in its place they will find your new card number and charge it anyway. I am going to contact the Attorney General about this company.

I signed myself and my husband up for LifeLock because I had a credit card skimmed at a service station. I got a slight discount through my employer. When we refinanced our house, I got notices from two free services that I have, making sure that the loan was legitimate. LifeLock? I heard nothing. I signed up for a new credit card and the same thing happened. I also noticed that the credit score showing in LifeLock was several months old. When I contacted LifeLock about these items, I got a response that basically did not address the issues at all (AKA marketing script for anyone who is complaining). Mark me unimpressed. I immediately cancelled the service for both of us.

I had a question in regards to my credit report, the last date it was updated was over 6 months ago? I asked them how my report can be accurate when it's only updated once a year, the answer "that's how we do it". I asked another question and the reply was very short, I told them to cancel my 29.95 per month membership and my wife's at the same price. They did not bother to answer again, they just cancelled our memberships!

I've been a "member" of LifeLock for 5 years. Everything seemed fine until I tried to cancel my membership. The "Cancel Membership Renewal" link on their web page is "broken", telling you to call their 1-800. Once you call the 1-800, you are immediately greeted with a person who is trained to browbeat you into not canceling. They use several underhanded tactics to manipulate you, such as putting you on hold multiple times for lengthy periods, and the "create a fear of loss" tactic. "We can give you a better deal, but only today and only if you don't cancel." The last tactic they use is more less a Hail Mary, which they throw everything at you, including the kitchen sink. Is this an identity protection service or a timeshare? After saying no about a million times, I was finally able to cancel my membership.
I sincerely believe that the cancellation link on their web page is purposely setup not to work correctly so that you have to call one of their trained sales staff. There ought to be a law against these kinds of tactics. A member for 5 years and they really didn't do much to protect me. My credit card has been skimmed twice and my debit card once. The banks did more to protect me than LifeLock. My bank actually called me about my debit card and stopped the suspicious activity before they got out of hand.
Pro tips: Never use your debit card for anything. Your debit card is a direct link to your bank account and once it is compromised, your account could be cleaned out. Use a credit card instead. It is easier to get an erroneous transaction reversed on a credit card than it is to get actual money put back in your bank account. Also, use cash at restaurants that take your card out of sight when paying the bill. And last, inspect every credit card reader you encounter, especially at gas stations.

I heard on the radio that Lifelock was offering free Norton security to new members. I called re: this. I was told that I have a "lower level service". I have been a member since 2013, thinking I was covered. I then looked at my file (I had previously not really checked it). I have limited reviews of applications for loans, though I know in the last few months I have applied for two. These were not reflected. I called back, and was told again that I would have a better level of service if I paid more. What does this mean? I have paid over 5 years for a limited poor service??? I am very upset at this time. In addition, my husband has also been enrolled which we have paid for. If I do not hear from someone re: these concerns I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Reports.

I have had LifeLock's Ultimate Plus Plan for about 2 years and up until about 3 months ago I was getting the service (Alerts, Transaction Emails). Then it all stopped. No Alerts or Transaction Emails. I have called Lifelock about 20 times, and have spent over 6 hours on the phone on this issue. And every LifeLock Agent that I spoken with has verified the problem I am experiencing but I am still, after 3 months, not getting any Alerts or Transaction emails nor are they showing up on my Dashboard. I have received commitments from a Supervisor, Alex, in Phoenix that this situation would be resolved. I ALSO HAVE ESCALATION NUMBERS ON THE ISSUE BUT AS OF TODAY'S DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. All I am being told is IT is working on it. How long is a reasonable amount of time to wait to rectify a problem. It shouldn't take 3 Months.

I called in September to cancel the membership and was told I failed the questionnaire about my own information, But I was not properly informed of how to go about re-calling to cancel. So in January I see that I’ve been billed every month since September even though when I called I canceled and never entered my account LifeLock, Upon a five-minute conversation with “Jason” about why I shouldn’t have had LifeLock services in the first place I asked his name and was told I didn’t need to know his last name. But I guess he thought I needed his opinions, of what I should have done in the first place. Very rude!!!

I found two charges on my credit card where someone flew Air Quata in Bagdad yet they harass me monthly when I pay my recurring credit card bill. When I called, they said they don’t monitor overseas. It took a while to get someone as they couldn’t find my account. I called today and they couldn’t find my account so I asked what the problem was and they had my birthday wrong. I paid $1,200 a year and after a year, they found the problem? I had to call back three times, I couldn’t get online. It took hours and I was sooo stressed out!! Then they charged me $200 to go back into the system.

I opened two new visa credit card accounts through South West several weeks ago and still had no notification from LifeLock of someone checking my credit report and opening new accounts. When I called I was told they don't catch all the transactions. These are the most basic transactions, what is the point of this service if I am not being alarmed by credit check and new credit card accounts?

I was the Ultimate Plus member for last three years until one day when I was locked out from accessing to my credit report. I called many times trying to resolve the seemingly simple issue without any result. BTW, I never had the same issues or other issues with two other ID protection services through my bank and Experian. I paid LifeLock around $450/year and only paid around $100 or less to the other services. An ex-customer of Lifelock.
