The Bad

Government Actions
Service Limitations

Government Actions

In 2013, the government took action against IdentitySecure's parent company, Affinion Group, due to allegations that the company was misleading consumers with discount clubs and membership offers. Several misleading marketing practices were identified and a $19 million fund was set up to provide reimbursement to affected consumers.

Service Limitations

IdentitySecure offers only one theft protection plan for individuals. Family plans are not available. Additionally, fraud resolution specialists only provide guidance during the dispute process; customers must do the majority of the actual work themselves.

The Bottom Line

IdentitySecure is an identity theft protection company that offers comprehensive identity monitoring services, reimbursement for stolen records, and emergency cash in the event of an identity theft situation while traveling. However, the company does not offer family plans and was subject to government action in 2013 for employing misleading marketing practices.

Darrell Burdick Charleston, SC

Identysecure proclaimed to be free of charge through my credit union, and without my knowledge stared deducting $13.95 per month. They continued to deduct this amount for about two years. Since the deduction was not clearly identified, I did not realize what the deduction was for. I only found out after receiving a recent letter indicating the were going to automatically renew my membership by continuing to draft $13.95 a month from my checking account. When I called IdentySecure the gave me the run-around, and finally tried to make a deal to refund six months of payments. This company I a ripoff.

idenitysecure came on to me through Pen Air credit union. I thought it was some free service of pen air. it was not until I had my credit card compromised, that I realized I was being hit for 15 dollars each month and out of my checking account.. this comp[any did not notice my credit card fraud, I did. I immediately cancelled. like to know how much they ripped me off all together for. an how did they get access to my bank account.
