Be careful with the Life lock program. The guy that owns the company has had his ID stolen twice.

Someone stole his ID and went to a finance company and borrowed $500.00 in his name. They have paid out on their guarantee several times.

You can do the same thing for free. Just contact all three credit bureau and put a watch on your SSN, they will and when someone pulls your report there will be a note there for the lender to make contact with you and your phone number before issuing credit. If they do not you can dispute the credit and the lender is liable.

You will have to renew this every six months but it is free.
