Overview: IdentityTruth, a Massachusetts based VC-funded company, offers customers individualized identity theft protection plans. IdentityTruth’s services protect customers’ identities by allowing them to access their Experian credit scores. IdentityTruth also provides customers with customized profiles that include analyses of their credit data, and tailored recommendations and/or warnings with regard to customers’ credit files and personal information.
Features: IdentityTruth’s services are unique compared to other companies’ identity theft protection services because they provide customers with continuously updated detailed profiles. Their other features include breach alerts, advanced notice of potential fraud, credit monitoring, free fraud alerts, and an identity heath score, which informs customers of their risk of becoming identity theft victims based on their activities. IdentityTruth, much like other services, also offers 24/7 monitoring of suspicious internet websites, removal from junk mail lists, and $25,000 identity theft insurance.
Summary: IdentityTruth provides customers with a well-balanced identity theft protection plan at a great price. They offer excellent fraud monitoring and online tools, and their service goes beyond the traditional ID theft protection services that mainly focus on monitoring customers’ credit. Potential customers, however, should take into consideration IdentityTruth’s limited customer service, restricted access to credit files, insufficient $25,000 insurance and the fact that they do not provide customers with credit files from the other two major credit bureaus.
