ID Watchdog identity theft protection service review

June 27th, 2008 - Posted by Joe

Today we are launching a new review of ID Watchdog, a detection based identity theft protection service that takes a unique approach to monitoring subscriber identities and has the best recovery guarantee we have seen to date.

Many services use credit report data to detect potential identity theft or other fraud perpetrated against subscribers. ID Watchdog uses patent pending technology to monitor the Social Security Administration, DMV records, court filings and dozens of other public records databases. This allows ID Watchdog to catch multiple types of identity theft that are not effectively monitored by some competitive services.

If an ID Watchdog subscriber is victimized then the 100% recovery guarantee kicks in. This is the most straightforward guarantee we have seen in the industry. ID Watchdog guarantees that they will continue to work until the subscriber's identity is restored no matter what that takes. There are no limits on the amount of time or money that ID Watchdog will spend to recoup a stolen subscriber identity although this guarantee does not cover restitution of stolen funds or lost wages (none of the services we have reviewed cover these items). ID Watchdog claims a 100% success rate in recovering stolen subscriber identities.

The two biggest downsides of ID Watchdog are the price which, at $19.95 per month, is nearly two times the monthly cost of other services we have reviewed and the fact that there is no credit report data included for subscribers.

Overall, ID Watchdog offers a very powerful monitoring and recovery service and we highly recommend it to most consumers. You can learn more by reading our full review of ID Watchdog or by visiting our guide to identity theft protection services.

    Along with every little thing which seems to be developing throughout this subject material, many of your opinions are generally rather refreshing. On the other hand, I beg your pardon, because I do not give credence to your whole theory, all be it exciting none the less. It looks to me that your comments are generally not completely rationalized and in actuality you are your self not really fully confident of the assertion. In any event I did enjoy reading through it.

    There is obviously a bunch to identify about this. I feel you made some good points in features also.
