Suspicious changes in your credit report are one of the first indications that your information may have been compromised. Take a look at your credit report and verify all of your information. We believe checking your report regularly is so important that you have access to 12 reports per year (on select plans), which is something our competition does not offer.

Dark Web Monitoring
You may have heard a lot of talk about the dark web lately. So, what is it? The dark web is similar to the Internet we all know and love with a few key differences that make it ideal for criminal activity. The dark web is accessed with a special browser that allows criminals to anonymously enter an online version of the black market. Within the dark web, anything can be bought and sold without regulation, oversight, or restriction. After your information is compromised during a data breach, thieves often will go to the dark web and sell your information, along with thousands of other records.
Dark web monitoring, also known as internet or cyber monitoring, aids in identity theft prevention by keeping an eye out by scanning the dark web for information related to your identity. Through our global search, we scour the dark web for your SSN, name, mailing address, and other information you designate in over 25 languages. If we find anything suspicious, we notify you immediately.
Identity Protection
Your identity goes beyond your credit report and so should your monitoring. When thieves get access to your identity, they use it in ways some of us would never think of. One of the most impactful ways a thief abuses your identity is by committing criminal acts in your name. With IdentityIQ, we actively monitor international most-wanted lists and national criminal record databases for your information. We search records for both arrests and convictions connected to your name and date of birth, whereas other companies offering similar services only search for convictions.
We don’t stop there. IdentityIQ monitors for any use of your Social Security Number within our network and alerts you of what we see. Other monitoring services will only alert you if your SSN is used with a wrong address or name. We feel you should be notified any time your SSN is used, so we make sure you’re informed. In addition, we perform enhanced change of address notification. We not only monitor for a change of address request with the credit reporting agencies, but we also monitor the National Change of Address registry to make sure you’re completely informed of changes made to your information.
Our Identity Monitoring includes:
- National and International Criminal Record Monitoring
- SSN Trace
- Enhanced Change of Address Monitoring
Application Monitoring
Thieves like to use stolen information to open new accounts. Often, you never know it happens until you pull your credit report and see accounts that you never knew existed. We are actively searching for utility applications, payday loans, cell phone applications, and credit applications. Even if your credit isn’t pulled, we will still alert you when an application is submitted in your name so you can take action.
Family Protection
Identity theft impacts more than just adults. Children are especially vulnerable to synthetic identity theft, and stolen identities of children often go unnoticed until they reach adulthood. IdentityIQ is here to provide protection for everyone in your family.
When you enroll in our Secure Max Plan, we not only provide you with up to $1 million in ID theft insurance, we also include up to $25,000 for your children.4
Family members refer to enrollee’s children. They must be under the age of twenty-four (24) and permanently live in the same residence as the enrollee at the time of the stolen identity event.
Utility Payment Reporting
Utility payment reporting gives you the ability to build credit by reporting monthly utility payments to major credit bureaus. Your on-time payments, and potentially up to 24 months of past payments, appear as a credit tradeline to help increase your credit scores. Larger utility bills may have an even greater positive impact on your scores.
Types of utility payments you can report:
- Electricity
- Gas
- Water
- Sewer
- Waste management
- Cable TV
- Satellite TV
- Internet Services
- Cell phone
- Landline telephone
