The Good

Competitive Pricing
Comprehensive Services
$1 Million Insurance
Recovery Guarantee

Competitive Pricing

IDX offers two premier protection services, IDX Identity and IDX Privacy, at competitive prices. Individual plans start at $9.95 per month, family plans begin at $19.95 per month.

The IDX Identity family plan covers two adults completely (credit monitoring services, CyberScan, $1 million in insurance, and access to experts/recovery superheroes are included) and up to five minor dependents can receive coverage as well (CyberScan monitoring, up to $1 million in reimbursements, and recovery services are included).

The IDX Privacy product supplies users with tools that can help them protect their digital privacy across all devices including a VPN, ForgetMe Data removal, CyberScan, a personalized privacy score, and more.

In comparison to other identity theft protection companies, IDX has fair pricing for its services.

Comprehensive Services

IDX's plans appear to cover a wider range of monitoring services than most companies in the industry. The company provides credit monitoring (works with credit bureaus to monitor credit reports and credit scores) CyberScan™ dark web monitoring, public records monitoring, change of address monitoring, passport monitoring, payday loan monitoring, and more. IDX also provides a proactive feature that is designed to check for compromised passwords.

Both the individual and family IDX service plans include credit monitoring services, CyberScan monitoring, complete identity restoration assistance, access to an online resource center, customer service help, fraud notification features designed to catch any suspicious activity or unauthorized access, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.

As previously mentioned, IDX identity theft protection services cover nine different types of identity theft, including medical, social security, child, criminal, financial, synthetic, employment, insurance, and driver's license.

IDX also provides data breach identity protection services and strives to educate customers on credit card monitoring versus IDX monitoring, fraud protection, credit freezes, recovery services, recovery options, etc.

$1 Million Insurance

This identity protection company, like many other identity protection services in the industry, offers up to $1 million in identity theft insurance to account members.

According to the company's website, this insurance is designed to "provide reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to addressing the restoration of your identity."

It also includes lost wallet coverage as well as reimbursement for electronically stolen funds. In addition to insurance, IDX provides customers with access to U.S.-based certified identity theft risk management specialists. These trained specialists will use the limited power of attorney to help customers with identity restoration.

Recovery Guarantee

The company has an official refund policy in place for customers who do not obtain a 100 percent recovery from IDX's services.

According to the company's website, IDX will "refund up to one year of fees" that customers have paid towards IDX restoration services only if the company fails to remove all adverse matters (within one year of the identity theft or identity fraud event) on the customer's record.

In order to receive the refund, the customer would have had to follow the proper procedures that IDX provides for reporting the theft and would have already been enrolled in IDX protection services.

The Bad

Does Not Provide 24/7 Service
No Antivirus Software Provided

Does Not Provide 24/7 Service

IDX's team does not operate on a 24/7 basis. The company's hours are limited to 11 hours per day on a Monday-through-Friday schedule.

Although the company does employ certified U.S.-based identity theft experts and strives to provide reliable customer service, the lack of a 24/7 operation may limit prompt responses to client questions and concerns.

No Antivirus Software Provided

IDX doesn't seem to provide any type of antivirus software or really any protection against a ransomware attack. Meanwhile, some other identity theft protection companies offer antivirus software and other personal information protection for customers' computers and devices.

Unfortunately, since IDX does not appear to provide this type of software, customers must find and purchase the software on their own if they want to ensure further identity protection as well as personal cybersecurity.

gavel

The Bottom Line

IDX offers a wide range of identity monitoring services including credit monitoring services for all three major credit bureaus, recovery and restoration services, and identity protection services such as data breach protection and fraud alert services at competitive prices.

The company also gives customers access to certified identity theft risk management specialists who can help those who have fallen victim to identity theft make a full recovery from a theft event. IDX has a set 100 percent recovery guarantee for victims who do not fully recover while using their services.

Additionally, IDX offers up to $1 million in identity theft insurance which covers out-of-pocket expenses such as lost wages, legal fees, private investigators (for background investigations), and stolen funds.

IDX does not, however, seem to provide around-the-clock customer services and does not seem to provide any antivirus software or personal security features that would help protect customers from fraudulent activity and identity thieves.

Although there are some aspects customers should take into account, IDX is still a top-rated, highly recommended company that offers trustworthy protection services.

If you are interested in IDX Identity or IDX Privacy services, we recommend that you visit the company's website and read several IDX reviews to learn more about what the company has to offer before you choose a plan.

David Doty Logandale, NV

Was notified of a credit card application filed by someone else in my name. MyID care opened a case and promised an adjudicator would investigate and get back to me within 48 hours. That was 2 Dec. Its now 12 Dec and despite my multiple calls, waiting in queue, messages left, and promises made, I still have yet to receive even an update from this company. Not impressed.

I have been hacked severey, ransomed, cyber stalked and went to the suicide hospital due to the identity theft. Because nobody used my name to open a account fraudulently I was ignored. I was told I had a restoration ticket but when I finally got there they told me no such ticket existed. I got absolutely no help. Now the hackers are actively using my debit cards and opened up stamps.com on all my checking accounts. I didn't know because hackers changed my navy federal password so I have to call to make any transactions. Stamps com for 80 dollars what if that was to transport illegal drugs? But since nobody opened a fraudulent credit account in my name I dont qualify. I am 100 percent Pand T and part of OPM. Will they reimburse me for 8 thousand i had to fork out to pay for legal fees because the people hacking me put a restraining order so i would be in a very limited position. They stole everything i have online. Went to identity theft gov 3 times and police say i dont have enough evidence. But since they actually did commit fraud and not just hack me and cyberstalking me, I can go to the police. Even than they cant do anything. I have to go report it however to retrieve some accounts but I dont see the point. They cant and will not do anything except give me a case number. I have been treated like a second class citizen. Really..... they never call u back. They gave me tickets but they were not the tickets that they said they were. It was just nothing. I have no faith in myidcare. I am just going to the VA and talk to them about how they are treating us combat disabled vets. My account is locked because hackers went in and changed my info and I got locked out due to hackers again. My ssn is with another address and my identity according to them is compromised. But they said keep it locked so u wont get hacked again. In the meanwhile I am getting alerts. Wow. Good job OPM. Thank u.

Service is a typical alert but they make it impossible to use with their automatic account lockout if you don’t visit their website frequently enough after their 20 questions to identify you then they give you a 1 time password to get on the site which then requires you change your password - I have been thru this multiple times and have had enough so I cancelled my account. - their tech said ... but it’s free... sorry but my time is valuable and it takes an hour to get yuri the above noted BS so using it certainly comes at a cost.

Don't bother. After reporting an unauthorized credit check appearing on one of my credit bureau reports, they told me that a "restoration" team member would be calling me within 24 to 48 hours to help me get the inquiry removed. It's now been 125 hours. Don't waste your money.

I just tried to enroll my mother, because I received a letter that her information was compromised. I am her POA. I entered my email address and an enrollment code that was in the letter and created a password and then received a prompt to go to my email address and verify I am the owner of the email address. I did so and saw the email which says, "As the first step in activating your identity monitoring services, please verify your email address. " Before I had a chance to click the "Verify Email" button, I received another email which stated "Your MyIDCare™ identity theft protection has now been activated, including the following services. To view your account, please log in. " So, they activated the account before they verified my email. I've never had that happen before with any other company I signed up with. I am not feeling as though I am in good hands.

I have an account with MyIDCare and have been locked out. Not sure of the reason. The real issue is that my problem does not seem to be covered the website - which the phone recording repeatedly refers me to - and I cannot reach a person on the phone. Very, very frustrating-especially since I get emails every week or so alerting me of activity on my account.

If a company charged with protecting your most sensitive information cannot even get a simple password reset accomplished without errors, then you have little reason to trust that company. MyIDCare is charged with protecting all veterans information that were affected by a Chinese hack of the OPM. I am one of those veterans. To boot, I am an IT systems engineer. I can tell every reading without flaw that this company has bad website coding, bad processes governing simple website interactions, and very bad customer service policies. My password never works and my phone or laptop is never trusted. I am told to update my security questions, there is absolutely no section on the homepage or my account page to do so. I reset my password only to find out that the account is locked and for some reason I am forced to call and listen to a long answering machine with confusing options to do so. The password I just reset no longer works and the person on the phone makes me change it again even though it was just changed minutes ago. If you really think that these simple problems are the only one that plague this service, you have never worked in IT. I cannot imagine how insecure this domain is if the absolute basics above are messed up so badly. It a way it makes sense that the Govt has chosen such an inept service to manage all of my most sensitive information as a veteran. I am given no choice about my monitoring service and I am at risk because of it.

You sent me an alert that new credit had been opened and there was a new inquiry. There were two accts opened that are not mine and 1 inquiry that was not mine. I had a heart attack. I checked all three credit bureaus and nothing was reported on there that you reported to me. You suck. I am certain you have me mixed up with someone else or I was hacked.. How terrible to make me think I was the victim of IDENTITY theft when I clearly wasn't. Get your act together MyIDCare. You are suppose to protect me but you are not.

Last year my wife and I got married and since then we've worked together to build the most stable life together. Financial stability was very important to both of us. Before joining MyIDCare we recently had an event where our identity had been stolen and someone opened a credit account in our name. Luckily, we caught this on time. We never realized it was THAT easy, so we asked our bank who they recommended to help keep our identity safe. They recommended MyIDCare. Andrew was our representative I spoke with. I had just worked the last 19 hours and I was tired and worried for my wife and I. Not only did Andrew answer and explain everything in detail, but he did it in a way that was simple and easy to understand. By the end of our chat, he had me sold. Andrew explained everything from broad topics such as what MyIDCare was all the way to the minuet details such as how often I get alerts. I signed up and now my wife and I are beginning to feel at ease again. I'm extremely satisfied with my experience and I hope this signs of more to come. Thanks again!

Yesterday I thought I might have been hacked and so called MyIDCare. Josh M, an IDCares Specialist, worked patiently with me for over an hour to solve my problem. I am an older woman and not proficient on the computer! Josh was thoughtful, proficient and patient. It took quite a while, but the complex problem was completely solved and I felt supported and not "put down" for my lack of understanding. Josh simply did an excellent job on all counts: solved my difficult problem and left me feeling understood and supported. I cannot praise him enough. Thank you, Josh!

This "service" is completely useless. I've had a free MyIDCare account (run by ID Experts) since the OPM data breach, and I get exactly what I paid for! When I log on, I have to choose whether to get my two-factor authentication (TWA) ID number via a text message, a phone call, or an e-mail. No matter which one I choose, the code either never appears (most likely) or pops up two hours later. Since the site requires entering the code within 15 minutes of requesting it, by then it's completely useless. I haven't logged on for at least a year and a half because I can't get a TWA code!!!!
