Free Service

Credit.com does not charge consumers anything to enroll in its identity theft and credit monitoring services. This type of protection and credit monitoring can be a good option for small business owners and individuals who are looking to obtain protective services for low or no cost. According to the Credit.com website, when customers sign up for the company's free credit monitoring services their credit will not be hurt and they can check their credit score without any hidden fees or monthly payments. 

Credit Monitoring

Credit.com offers credit monitoring from all three major bureaus-Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The company provides its customers with free bi-weekly updates on their credit standing and will issue email alerts immediately if account information is updated or if suspicious activity is detected.

Those who sign up for the company's services will also receive a free Experian credit score, a free credit report card, and a free credit action plan.

No Insurance

Unfortunately, Credit.com does not offer identity theft insurance to cover its customers in the event of identity theft. In comparison to other companies in the identity theft industry, Credit.com's lack of insurance limits customers' abilities to recover from identity theft. 

Limited Services

Credit.com focuses solely on monitoring credit information and does not monitor bank account systems, health records, or online black markets. Additionally, Credit.com does not provide financial, medical, criminal, or tax identity recovery or lost wallet assistance.
