Twice have received e-mail stating to call customer support about my account. Both times, even though my phone was good enough to call them, there system would not recognize the tones my phone gave out. Used my cell phone and both times it said "There is no activity on your account" Why send me an alert if there was nothing to report? Unable to find contact number to talk to a human being. This company is worthless. I would never have used them if I had to pay. Got them in the Home Depot breech. Get what you pay for!

I joined All Clear thru the Anthem BC hack. Enrollment was very easy. However, since my ID was stolen and used to file phony tax returns, i have not been able to get an All Clear investigator to call me (3 days). The Customer Support people are very nice, but acknowledge that there enough staff to respond to the demand. Don't get your hopes up that Anthem or Blue Cross will help you out

Customer service promised a call back from an inspector to fix a problem for us, in a few days, never got one. Called again and still waiting for a call back. Opened a new credit card and have no idea if and when they will call me with an alert! Wondering if this is worth anything at all? I gave them a 2 for the politeness of the representatives, but I want more than politeness from a company suppose to monitor my credit etc.

horrible customer service. When you finally get to talk to someone they tell you someone will call back. They give you a code so that you know the call back is from AllClear. Nobody ever calls back. I have spent too much time trying to fix a simple problem ( they have my email incorrect so I cannot log onto all clear pro. These people are in business selling service to large companies that have had security breaches in order to pacify the customer who's info was stolen. They clearly don't give a hoot about individual users. stay away.

Got this following the BCBS hack. In my opinion it is worthless. Logging on is difficult, and after you do there is absolutely no information available. I opened a new credit card account and never heard from them. So really the only service that might be provided is the million dollar insurance, although I am not overly confident that they would not wiggle out of payment in some way should I ever need it!

Horrible customer service. There aren't any phone numbers listed on their site even though they say to contact them immediately if you have a problem. I have reached them by using the sign up number from Blue Cross. Three times I was promised a call back and given reference codes for the call authentication. Its been over a week and not one call. My issue is that the email i provided was entered incorrectly and I cannot log on. The call center cannot change this so like the previous review you just wait and fume over their lack of communication. Stay away.

Worst !!!!!! First off customer service representative are absolutely worthless at helping. I had an issue arise with creating a log on and have been waiting for a Week to have tech support call me back and still no call. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to have to wait around for them to call you esther than providing a number for you to call them and get your issue handled right then and there.

I received a call from you saying there was an alert on my account. The automated system did not work and when I called the phone number that was left on my message, I was told someone would call me in 3-5 business days. This is terrible customer service. If there is an alert, I should have been told what it was immediately. I should not have to wait 3-5 days.

This by far the worst protection agency I have ever dealt with. First off you have to hunt and search for a number to contact about issues and then the customer service representative are absolutely worthless at helping. I had an issue arise with creating a log on and have been waiting for four days to have tech support call me back and still no call. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to have to wait around for them to call you esther than providing a number for you to call them and get your issue handled right then and there. After this I will not be renewing their service once time is up.

I got affected by the Anthem breach and was given this useless free account. Logging in does absolutely nothing. It doesn't show you any accounts. It also has the most annoying feature I've ever seen on any product in the history of the internet. When you log into your account it calls your phone and won't log you in until you enter a pin on the phone. It does this EVERY time.

Absolutely horrible! They messed up my account upon creation by entering an invalid email address. I have made 5 phone calls talked to 8 people (2 were supervisors) and not one of them are able to correct the email typo they created! Inept. Incompetent. Incredibly poor customer service. There is no way they will be able to take care of any real fraud issue. Thanks Anthem for picking the worst of the bunch! Zero for Anthem as well!

Allclear does not monitor your credit so if somebody steals your credit you are out of luck. Worst company I've seen out of them all and there are a lot of them. I got this free with the Home Depot BS and Allclear is the BS. I still don't know what they do to protect me. I suspect nothing but collect a fee from Home Depot for a useless service.

Have all clear id, complements of the home depot hack over the summer. Credit card was used in India, even though I still possess my card, all clear never picked up on this. Also there are no reports to review, only an email from time to time telling me everything is good to go. I think the company is bullshit, and was used to make consumers feel safe.

I applied for a credit card. It was issued and I have been using it for over 5 weeks. I just now received an alert from all clear letting me know that there was activity. Gee a month and a half?????? So let me get this right. If someone did take out a credit card using my identity I wouldn't know about it for another month and a half? Unexceptable!

This company is failing people who most need assurance. When I went to sign up for Homedepot's secondary or extra protection,everything I typed was entered on the form BACKWARDS! So when I contacted them,they blamed it on my device. I told them I have never had a single problem before,and I tried three different browsers. Also,the Shellshock bug was going around at that time,so I asked if their systems hard been patched yet,and they were completely oblivious to this severe security threat. What a joke this company is.

My husband and I signed up under The Home Depot plan. My husband got notification about an alert on his account. We called in and it was from when we leased a car 3 months ago! When the rep said what it was I said that was three months ago. He said it takes 4-6 weeks. He said they received the alert on Dec. 9. I never did receive a notification about the alert though when we called in it was on both my name and my husbands. So we leased the car on Sept 24, they receive the alert on Dec 9 and don't contact us until Dec 24! That's timely!

They are a scam, IMHO.... They take money, give little, no, poor service. When an alert did arise, they were not available... They were 'closed'. I was in Europe, no phone, no way to find out what was up. Lousy service, to cover for Home Depot's oops..... This Bo Holland CEO... figured out how to make a bunch of money online.....

Monitors only one credit bureau. Notification is not timely, customer service experience is very awkward. Notification mechanism (voice mail to phone, call back, etc) is like a wild goose chase. All of these are deterrents to service. Compared to other choices available, this service is not worth paying for.

The user interface does not provide dynamic information. Alerts come in via phone. I opened a new account a month and a half ago. It took All Clear about 3 weeks to notify me of this activity. I have now been notified three times of this "new" account. There are better offerings -this is better than nothing

AllClear takes several weeks to alert you AFTER an account has been opened. At that point it's way too late and the damage has been done. I will never ever pay for AllClear services as they are a cheap service that has no true protection notifications.

No matter how many times I enter my PIN the voice says "I did not detect 4 digits" then the voice sounds like a psychotic robot under water. I "believe" the alert was for an account I opened about three months ago but I have no way of knowing since alerts are not available online and they can't detect my phone.

I signed up for this service for free via home depot in December. Back in January I got a new American express. Allclear did not contact me or notify me of the new account until 3/23/2015. That kinda sucks. Three months it took for them to notify me a new account had been opened in my name. I would not recommend this service.

It took 10 days for AllClear ID to see new credit opened in my name. My previous credit monitoring service reported new credit to me in a matter of hours. Now I'm told to call some number - Why not just send me details in the email? Looks like AllClear ID is way too slow to be valuable.

Not pleased with AllClear. When you log into your account, no information on your credit is provided. I cannot view my current credit accounts to determine if my identity has been compromised. When you click "contact" link for assistance, you are just brought to a facts page. I believe this is poor service & am highly dissatisfied.

So theoretically, I could log in and view this person's information which they are claiming to protect... fortunately I am not looking to steal anyone's identity....

Simple ineffective window dressing. Their function is not to protect the consumer. Their function is to protect their corporate clients who hire them. They are the low bidder when an incompetent corporation ( Anthem for instance ) loses private information for millions of consumers.

Worst service ever. It took 2 weeks for them to call and tell me about an account that I opened. When I asked AllClear why it took so long, I was told it could take 2 - 8 weeks for them to let me know cards were opened in my name. Two weeks is a long time 8 weeks is worthless.

Worse than nothing. Literally took six phone calls to set up, and though it never really worked right they assured me it was fine. So last month I applied for a new credit card, got it, and recently started using it. Not a word from AllClearID.
