  • Lack of Credit Monitoring

No Limited Power of Attorney

In the event of identity theft, 5LINX does not provide its customers with an attorney to represent them or help restore their identity to pre-theft status.

Lack of Credit Monitoring

The Bottom Line

5LINX is an identity protection company that provides its customers with antivirus and antispyware software, black market monitoring, and restoration support. However, the company does not offer credit monitoring or provide customers with attorneys in the event of identity theft.
