Identity Theft Protection FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Identity Theft Protection
Will an identity theft protection service hurt my credit score in any way?
No, subscribing to an identity theft protection service will not negatively impact your credit score. When you authorize a lender to check your credit, it is called a "hard pull," which may cause your credit score to drop slightly. However, when you check your own credit, or an identity theft protection service checks your credit report on your behalf, this is known as a "soft pull," which does not hurt your score.
