What is the most dollar efficient way to handle credit report monitoring for a married couple. Do you have to sign up separately?

November 2nd, 2010 - Posted by Tasha

Q:  What is the most dollar efficient way to handle credit report monitoring for a married couple. Do you have to sign up separately?

A: Trusted ID actually offers a very popular, reduced-price family plan that will cover both you and your spouse.  For only $20 a month, you can protect your entire family, which includes all household members living at the same address, related or not.

Trusted ID is a very full-fledged plan, featuring both credit report monitoring and identity theft protection. You'll get all 3 credit scores, 3-bureau credit report monitoring, and a complete arsenal of identity theft protection tools.   I do need to point out that the $20 per month price requires an upfront annual payment, but it's such a great deal you may want to consider it.  If you're hesitant, they even offer a free 14-day trial, so you can sign up, get your credit scores and reports for free, and then cancel if you don't find value in the service without paying for anything.
