ID Watchdog offers a comprehensive set of services that uses the best technology on the market to protect you from identity theft. In October of 2007, ID Watchdog filed for a patent on its system of matching the Base Identity Profile (or “clean” data) against new data points that appear in monthly reports. They feature 2 sections on their website: 1 for those wanting to prevent identity theft, and 1 for those who are currently victims of identity theft. ID Watchdog outlines the specific steps each kind of potential subscriber would take within their program. The services they offer include ID Verification and Monthly Monitoring of thousands of databases that may contain your personal information.
The ID Watchdog Plus package comes with a 30
day free trial and is the best product in detecting if identity theft
has already occurred. To start they collect all of your information
from public databases and have you review for any and all
inaccuracies. The constant monitoring of these third party databases
is done on a monthly basis for as long as you are enrolled in the
program.
In the event that identity theft has occurred, ID
Watchdog will then use their ID Rehab service to make sure the proper
steps are taken to fix the issue. Their guarantee and this service
work by stating that as long as you are enrolled in the program they
will take the proper steps to correct any and all personal records that
have been affected by identity theft.
Overall this offer
takes a completely different approach to identity theft protection then
the other offers we compared. Instead of solely looking at prevention
of idenity theft, ID Watchdog looks out to see if it has already
occurred. The package costs $17.95 monthly, and offers yearly package
for only $161.95. While the cost of the service is up there with the
other offers we compared, it just seems to be lacking some key features
the other idenity theft prevention services had. While ID Watchdog
takes the best steps out there to see if idenity theft has occurred in
your name, we felt that with the fees they charge a credit report
should at least be included.
