Fraud Alerts

Our team places a Fraud Alert with the major credit bureaus and a flag is then attached to your credit file. When you, or someone else tries to open up a credit account by getting a new credit card, car loan, cell phone, etc., the lender should contact you by phone to verify that you really want to open a new account. If you aren't reachable by phone, the credit account shouldn't be opened.


This service prevents identity theft at its source since your information once compromised, is typically used to fraudulently open accounts on your behalf. By limiting a thief's ability to begin opening accounts in your name, you greatly reduce the amount of damage that may be inflicted. Lifeshield updates your Fraud Alert every 90 days to ensure complete protection starting with your first submission to the Credit Bureaus — your first submission includes a free credit report and this is updated on the anniversary of signing up with the service.
