Here is my reason for writing this article about LifeLock and Debix.
Last week two acquaintances were debating which was better Lifelock identity protection or the Debix identity protection network. I actually paid attention to this argument as I too was considering purchasing Lifelock identity protection. This is what they taught me.
Lifelock is the best known when it comes to identity protection services. They do all the work for their clients even though many things could be done yourself for free such as placing and renewing a fraud alert. In order to get attention and show how confident they are in being able to protect your identity, Lifelocks CEO actually made his social security number public. This is how I first became conscious of them.
LifeLock is also able to generate positive public relations for itself because they have been recognized by multiple agencies. LifeLock has some unique for your private to ensure it is not being sold. True Address verifies with databases that your address has not been changed by a criminal.
LifeLock the only identity theft protection company who can effectively protect children. Life Lock is ISO 27001 certified which shows that their security procedures at company headquarters is the best of the best. They seem to have invested in such which makes them able to provide real protection of the confidentialpioneered the $1,000,000 identity insurance offer.
As for Debix, another identity protection company gaining traction in the identity protection racket, is almost as good as LifeLock. They also put a Debix Safe Number in your credit file, not your phone number. This keeps your phone numbers private. In addition, during the credit approval request process, reporting fraudulent credit requests is easy to report to law enforcement by just pushing a button on your phone. Simply hit star to be connected to a identity theft specialist who will help you contact the appropriate authorities.
Did you know Debix has a patented technology that offers a secure interface for credit protection? Debixs utilization of fraud alerts is simply the best. Debix also provides an audit trail in case an imposter impersonates you.
Life Lock and Debix place fraud alerts on your behalf and order your 3 bureau credit report. They also stop the flood of junk mail. Debix also removes you from telemarketing lists.
The differences are Debix’s innovative fraud alert technology and low price $24/year compared to LifeLocks additional offerings including TrueAddress, WalletLock and Erecon and, of course, the $1 million guarantee.
This should help you evaluate which company is right for you. In my opinion you get better identity protection with LifeLock but at $24 a year Debix is certainly worth considering. Especially since it is $75 cheaper than LifeLock.
