re: How are you protecting your identity? Lifelock?

Yeah we were in a panic and wasn’t sure what to do so we spent about $700 a year to get the top package that Lifelock offered but knowing what I know now, I would not do that again. We just didn’t get the value out of it we thought we would and they are a hard sale pitch if you try to cancel, they virtually won’t take, “No we want to cancel” for an answer.
We use bank accounts that update us anytime our debit or charge card is used and also gives us our credit rating each month, also keeping our credit permanently locked with the 3 bureaus.

Locking your credit works best especially if you’re not one to do spur of the moment financing. I don’t care if it took me an extra 3-4 days to finish a purchase it would be worth it to not have my credit availability stolen again.
