Alexandra J. Austin ,
I lost my wallet and my money. I called the fraud investigators they immediately closed my credit cards, made sure my identity wasn’t stolen, and I was restored without have any fraudulent occurrences. They also notified all three credit bureaus without me calling anyone. My panic went from worrying to piece of mind instantly.

We have had ID shield for years and the one time we try to use them they pretty much told us that our payments that we made an account for nothing I don’t think they’re very good credible company. Not good for the money that we paid.

I’ve had two occasions where are I was either notified or contacted LifeLock about possible identity theft. In both cases, they were very helpful and neither one resulted in any type of identity theft.

The Final Word
IDShield provides customers with access to licensed in-house private investigators, 12-month credit score tracking history, and unlimited identity theft restoration services.
LifeLock, on the other hand, provides customers with online protection software including virus protection and parental controls, lost wallet protection, cyberthreat-blocking Norton technology, secure VPN services, data breach alerts, and much more.
Overall, both companies offer top-notch services in comparison to many other companies in the identity theft protection industry. LifeLock, however, appears to provide slightly more advanced technology and services than IDShield, and has a lower price range for its service options.
