Common questions about identity theft and credit monitoring services
What is credit monitoring?
Credit monitoring detects and alerts you to changes to your credit score (VantageScore® credit score). Identity theft often involves unauthorized purchases made in your name — so while credit monitoring is only one piece of identity protection, staying on top of your Experian® credit report can help detect identity theft early on. Credit monitoring also helps you monitor your own spending, and it helps prevent surprises when you apply for credit.
What is identity theft?
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information, such as your Social Security, credit card, or driver's license number, to apply for loans and credit cards, rack up debt, and commit other illegal activities using your identity. Once it happens, it's not easy to fix. The average identity theft case can take hundreds of hours to resolve and can cause emotional and physical stress.
Will identity theft show on my credit report?
Unfortunately, not all identity theft will turn up on your credit report. Identity thieves can steal your identity without involving your credit — which means the theft won't show up on your credit report. This type of 'non-credit' theft occurs in many ways. Thieves can steal your mail and request that the United States Postal Service redirect it to another address (known as mail identity theft) or use a piece of your identity, like your Social Security number, to get a high-interest payday loan.
Cybercriminals can also buy your bank account details on the dark web after a data breach to take money from your account (known as financial account takeover). IDnotify's CyberAgent/Dark Web Monitoring feature alerts you if your information is found on the hidden online marketplace popular with ID thieves.
How does IDnotify alert me of identity theft?
When you enroll in IDnotify, it will actively scan the web for your personal information and let you know, through alerts, if it detects unusual activity, such as a piece of your identity found on the dark web. Your notifications will include details on action to take.
What resources does IDnotify provide for me if my identity is stolen?
A certified identity restoration specialist will work with you to restore your identity. If identity theft has occurred, full-service identity restoration will get you back on track.
- Contact government agencies where the fraud occurred, such as the Social Security Administration
- Review your credit report for signs of identity theft
- Contact the three credit bureaus to place a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit report
