Affordable Plans

Complete ID's identity protection plans start as low as $8.99 per month for each Executive Costco member.

For an additional $2.99, Executive Costco members can obtain child monitoring services. Gold Star members can obtain child monitoring services for $3.99 per month.

Complete ID's new family plan options allows you to chose a plan that fits your needs. The company has options for 1 adult, 1 adult and up to 5 kids, 2 adults, and 2 adults with up to 5 kids.

In comparison to other identity protection services, Complete ID does offer some of the most affordable identity theft protection coverage.

Additionally, Complete ID appears to go the extra mile and runs a comprehensive check on new customers (after their initial sign up) to see if there are any "previous or ongoing instances of ID theft."

Monitoring Services

Complete ID offers a large number of identity monitoring services, including credit monitoring from all three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion). In terms of credit monitoring, the company offers monthly credit score updates (VantageScore), annual three-bureau VantageScores, annual three-bureau credit report, a financial dashboard, and credit alerts.

Potential customers should note that the company's credit monitoring service with Experian begins within 48 hours of enrollment in Complete ID and monitoring with Equifax and TransUnion takes approximately 4 days to begin.

In addition to its credit monitoring service, Complete ID offers financial account monitoring, criminal record monitoring, non-credit identity monitoring, dark web surveillance, payday loan monitoring, neighborhood watch alerts, mail change alerts, and social security number monitoring.

If any suspicious activity is detected, the company will issue a fraud alert to the customer.

Complete ID does offer a variety of other services included in its identity theft protection product. These include annual credit reports from all three credit bureaus and 24/7 customer support.

Complete ID also has a new feature called Experian CreditLock, which allows customers to lock or unlock their Experian Credit file with one click. This helps you ensure no one can apply for a line of credit under your name without your knowledge.

Helpful Identity Theft Insurance*

Complete ID provides customers with up to $1 million in identity theft insurance with no deductible. This policy covers and reimburses certain expenses if various identity theft situations, like data breaches or other forms of identity abuse, occur.

According to the Complete ID website, the company's identity theft insurance covers lost or stolen wages/income, attorney fees/legal fees, child care/elderly care, refiling loan expenses, and more. Complete ID also provides full-service identity restoration as well as lost wallet replacement assistance.

24/7 Customer Service

Complete ID customers can receive U.S-based customer service help around-the-clock.

For customers who find that they have fallen victim to identity fraud/identity theft, Complete ID offers direct communication with a designated identity theft restoration specialist.

The company's restoration specialists often offer an immediate plan of action for the theft. The specialists walk customers who have had their identities stolen through the entire restoration process which can include calls on the customer's behalf and the filing of report paperwork.

Complete ID also provides customers with a full online list of potential steps they may have to take to recover from being an identity theft victim.

According to the Complete ID website, the Complete ID restoration "specialists can be granted limited power of attorney and can take action on your behalf."

Informative Online Education Center

For an identity theft protection company, Complete ID offers a good amount of online educational resources.

Complete ID has an entire education center section on its website dedicated to teaching people about identity theft.

Some of the topics covered under the education center section include how thieves commit identity theft and identity fraud, how identity theft can affect a credit score, how people can protect their social security numbers, what to look out for when it comes to your credit report, how to spot fraudulent/suspicious activity, and much more.

Both customers and non-customers can access Complete ID's online education center.

The Bad

Lack of Services and Information

Lack of Services and Information

Complete ID does not provide a number of important services including credit card, checking, or savings account real-time alerts, data breach notifications, a service guarantee for lawyers and experts, or investment account activity real-time alerts.

The identity theft protection company's website does not seem to provide information regarding anti-virus software and customer-based mobile app options.

The Bottom Line

Complete ID offers a number of affordable identity protection services and several monitoring services including financial bank account monitoring, credit monitoring services for the major credit bureaus, as well as social security number monitoring, payday loan monitoring, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.

It's important to note that those who have an Executive, Gold Star, or Business Costco membership are able to purchase Complete ID's identity protection services at a lower rate than those who do not have a Costco membership.

In terms of insurance, the company covers lost or stolen wages, legal fees, and more after a theft takes place. Additionally, the identity protection service includes reliable identity restoration assistance which involves lost wallet replacement assistance.

On the Complete ID website, both customers and non-customers can access the company's online education center to learn more about identity theft.

Complete ID also provides real-time fraud alert notifications if there is any hint of suspicious activity, an annual credit report from each of the main bureaus, and 24/7 live customer support.

However, Complete ID fails to provide a number of important identity theft protection services. Additionally, the company does not appear to offer information about any anti-virus software. Customers who wish to enhance their personal device security may have to buy the software themselves. Additionally, there is a lack of information on the company's website regarding any mobile app options.

If you are interested in identity protection services, it is recommended that you read Complete ID reviews and conduct thorough industry research to see if Complete ID is the right company to help you protect your identity and personal information.

SDRunner Redondo Beach, CA

I received an email alert saying that some of my information was found on the dark web and to call to discuss it in more detail. I tried to call that night and waited for over 90 minutes and hung up. I tried to contact them the next morning and waited on hold for 60 minutes and hung up. That one phone number is the only way to contact them as they don’t provide a support email. When I finally reached them the agent that I spoke with did not seem to know very much and seemed to be in hurry to get me off the call. I really thought that they would be more helpful in getting this issue resolved without putting all the burden on me. So far, the only real benefit that I have gotten from their service is to get notified that some of my personal information has been compromised but no meaningful help in getting it resolved.

Hi SDRunner. Thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you were not able to reach out to us immediately due to the hold time. Due to some dark web alerts that went out to many individuals, we had a few tough days where we experienced longer than usual hold times. We have since resolved this issue and we are monitoring our call queue closely. I am also sorry to hear that it felt as if the agent you spoke to was not very helpful and in a hurry. This is not how we want any of our members to feel and encourage you to call us back if you have any unanswered questions. We are happy to help anytime as we are available 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Thanks. -Maggie

It wasn't all that great. I like that I was alerted to something, but what happened after that was not fun. The alert said to call to talk to a specialist. I was on hold for over 2 hours. I started the call at work and stayed on hold as I ran my errands and drove home. I finally gave up. No one came on the line. I tried again the next day. It took about 15 minutes to talk to someone. It turned out that the alert was benign. The specialist seemed think I should have known this, but if it was nothing, why did the alert say to call. Anyway. It wasn't the best experience. Still, I do like the monitoring.

Hi Karen. Thank you for leaving a review about your experience.

In the first place it took me four attempts before I could talk to a representative. Each time I was on hold for 45+ minutes on hold listening to the repeated taped statement that someone will be with me shortly. I wish Complete ID has a system to tell what your hold time is and also an option for a call back when they are available. I was notified on Wednesday that my DL number is found on the dark web along with my DOB. Several attempts to talk to a representative was of no avail on Wednesday. Finally I got hold of a rep on Thursday who asked me to contact DPS to find out a solution. I was under the wrong impression that this ID theft service will resolve my problem from exposure to identify theft and prevent such occurrence in the future.

Thanks for sharing the feedback about your experience when reaching out to us, Ramji. We understand the frustration of the hold time. We were experiencing a higher than usual call volume for a few days due to this type of alert. We have since resolved the issue with our hold time and are carefully monitoring our queues. In regards to the alert about your driver's license being found on the dark web, we do suggest that you reach out to the DMV to let them know of what occurred. They will be able to provide assistance in determining the best course of action for your individual situation. -Maggie

Very difficult to get calls back and email responses. The agent I was assigned to was unavailable at all times. When I missed his call, that was it. No further communication despite my calls and emails. It was nerve wracking. No one answers the phones. You get voicemails of random people. Then, FINALLY, after calling every day for a week, I got someone to pick up. She said my contact had been changed. Why wasn’t I told? I lost over a week just trying to get a response. She connected me with someone else who was excellent, but again, when it was time to reconnect, they assigned me yet another person. The good news is that this service caught a breach early on and alerted me. The bad news is that is was hell trying to get it taken care of. Customer service needs improvement. When someone calls that main number, a person needs to answer.

Theft Insurance coverage with them is a bit misleading. Complete ID only covers assistance with restoring identify theft, not the actual funds you lost. My wallet got stolen. (5) transactions happened in one day totally ~$1500 and I blocked my cards and filed a police report the same day charges started to appear. Travis Credit Union is holding me responsible for the first $500 on each card. Yet, my bank hasn't even credit me back a dollar and it's a month later. This leaves me out of either the full $1500 or ~$620. Complete ID is of no help. Had I known NO COVERAGE for actual money losses, such as bank account losses, I would have signed up with another company that has that additional coverage.

After 3 tries of putting in the password in my new cell phone, which I probably have the wrong one but it is the one I have written down, I was locked out and got a message to call 855 591 0202. I called immediately and waited over 20 minutes and had to go somewhere. Today, Dec.11, 18, I called again and was told the wait would be about 3 minutes - after 18min and 17 seconds I got tired of waiting. I'm thinking of cancelling my protection with this company. If I can't even get through to them over something simple how am I going to get through if my identity is stolen and I want to talk to someone as soon as possible. I think Costco should review this company that they are associated with and maybe find one that is a little more responsive.

I have called in about 4-5 times now regarding my login from my smart phone an iPhone 12. Each time I go to login they sentd a verification code which I enter, after I enter that I am told that due to inactivity I’ve been logged out. I’ve called customer service numerous times reset my password and it works once and then goes right back to the inactivity log out mode. I was with LifeLock before the service, never have these problems I’m not happy with the lack of service from technical support. This is very unusual for a Costco service and customer support something is broken.

I was on hold for about 15 minutes. What if my call was of a serious nature--my call was of important nature. Once I reached a human, I felt like my concern was not a concern of her. She didn't even have answers regarding the insurance/protection side. I was not impressed that this company doesn't watched bank accounts--though we give them the info. My bank, like your's, is part of my fanatical identity. Not impressed at this time.

Tried to reconcile my Experian Credit Score from the Experian site versus the Experian Credit Score listed on Complete ID (owned by Experian) as they were 70 points different. I was told that there are 49 different methods of calculating the FICO score and really did not get an answer. I was also told that the method of calculation for FICO is different for different types of loans. (e.g. Auto vs. Home). Very dissatisfied and looking into alternatives.

4 years ago

Reply from Complete ID

Different credit scoring models weigh information slightly differently, which is why we each have so many scores. The existence of multiple credit scores allows lenders to develop scores to address specific needs.

In fact, you likely have dozens of credit scores, if not hundreds or even thousands. That's because there is no uniform algorithm employed by all lenders or other financial companies to compute credit scores.

Custom scores are based on specialized risk algorithms tailored to a specific lender for a specific purpose, like auto loans. A custom scoring model may place more or less weight on certain factors based on the type of credit that will be extended and the potential risks associated with it.

Generally, it’s best to focus on the scoring range rather than the actual number. If you are in an excellent category you should be in the excellent category for other scoring models. If you are in the good range, then you should still be in the good range with other scoring models.

This is a common misunderstood practice.

I hope this helps - Julie.

I've been a member for about 4 yrs now and this time in speaking to an agent, he was not willing to resolve my, or help with the issue and recommended that i should resolve my credit inquiry directly with the credit bureau. Complete disappointment as i've tried to explained to him that i contacted transunion twice prior to contacting them twice, and each time i was on hold for more than 1hr without them even picking up the phone.

I do apologize if your hold time was long with Transunion. I have heard this is a high call volume time for the bureaus. If you believe the inquiry is fraud, please call us back so that we can help you. If it is a valid inquiry, it would need to be worked out with the creditor of why they accessed your report. I hope this helps and we get another chance to help you. Thank you for sharing your experience , Julie.

This score is solely based on the phone call. The female representative was not caring on the phone. Her answers was simple. My situation right now is that I am a recent victim of identity fraud, she provided no advice nor additional information on identity restoration. She did not review my inquiries nor sort through any possible fraudulent activities. She came across somebody who just wants go get off the phone as quickly as possible. The positive aspect of the phone call was she did answer my questions.

The alerts show my passwords as asterisks. There is no way for me to know which I used with my email for a particular site that was compromised, which renders the whole prevention process useless!

So I am giving them a two for a couple reasons. I just signed up, had lifelock but their support to renew was horrible to left. Signed up with CompleteID. Easy set up and quick notification of a credit inquiry for a refi. But no 2 factor authentication to log in. Being with Experian you think they'd have that. Well call into support and the gentleman that helped me did not even act like he cared. No way for me to suggest this enhancement and left me feeling as if I am more vulnerable now than before.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. We do hope in the future to earn more stars with you. I can understand how important it is to see a new report when you are expecting a big change. The membership does come with a new 3 bureau credit score every month and a score tracker to help you keep up with the changes over a period of time. We also monitor all 3 credit bureaus for the 5 important key changes: inquiries, new accounts, potentionally negative information, address changes and public records. As well as alot of other great benefits. I will share your feedback with the product team, however I wanted you to know that the scores will still refresh monthly. Thanks, Julie.

Poor experience Saw a alert on a potential dispute which suggested we call you.... I did and that was a waste of time.... I was told to call the credit card company who had a terrible customer service response and spent an hour with them to find out their was no dispute

I like the company for monitoring activities of my credit information, however, there is lots of improvement this company can have: Inaccurate summary reports, Stale report information (only updated annually), incompetent / lack of knowledge customer service by providing wrong information or information that does not exists

I could not have a normal conversation with the person I talked to. My issues were not resolved. I had to wait 35 + minutes on the phone without knowing how long the wait will be. The person on the phone put me on hold several times without asking me. The information (alert) that was central was not discussed in its essence.

I’ve never had to be on hold for a half an hour before. This was very frustrating, especially when coupled with the fact that, after that wait, I was transferred to an outside agency....where additional wait-times resulted in no resolution. The CI employees were quite polite, but their kind behaviors did little to resolve the issue.

I have to participate with other credit protection plan just for extra protection 5. I was a victim of identity theft and service provided was poor

First of all I waited for 26 minutes to talk to someone after I had received 2 emails to check in with you only to find out that it was the fraudulent store card usage that I had allerted you about 3 days prior. Unnecessary scare!!

The customer service person that I spoke with was wonderful. However, I was on hold for 45 minutes before I even had a chance to speak with anyone. There's no other form of contacting Complete ID. They don't have an email address listed. 45 minutes on hold is disappointing.

Dear Karen,
We are sorry to hear that you waited on hold for 45 minutes. We strive to provide best-in-class support and we clearly missed the mark here. We are in the process of training new support reps so that we can dramatically improve the amount of time it takes for our agents to answer the phone. Unfortunately, because we require our agents to go through extensive training it isn't an instant turnaround from the time they are hired. Thank you for your feedback and patience and we look forward to better serving you in the future.
Sincerely,
Josh w/ Complete ID

This company is good once you talk to a person. But the 42min hold to talk to someone was ridiculous. Also the fact that they sent me a vague email about a warning of a breach. It was nothing important. Their emails need to be much more detailed. At least let us know what group it is in.

All information is in one spot The app and user interface is terrible. Every time I log in I have to enter a passcode that is provided to my email address. The app layout is not intuitive and very user unfriendly.

Advise about a ssn alert as something fraud. They refused to take further action unless I could prove with a credit bureau and prove my identity has been used. Very poor customer service received by agent

I switched from Experian to complete ID because of its competitive pricing. You get what you pay for. Experian offered a more up to date credit report which let's you know how you are doing credit wise.

I received unsubstantiated fraud alerts. However, when waited on the line for two hours, there is no information and guidance given out.

Hi Gopal. We are sorry to hear that you experienced such a long hold time when reaching out to us. Due to some alerts that went out to many of our members, we were experiencing longer than usual hold times but have since resolved this issue. We are also closely monitoring our queue to ensure we are answering our calls within an acceptable time frame. It is also alarming to hear that you weren't able to get any information on how to proceed with the alert that you received. We will be reviewing this call for any coaching opportunities that we need to address. If you could, please reach out to us again to further review this alert and answer any of your unanswered concerns. Thank you. -Maggie

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, David. We are saddened to hear that we weren't helpful enough. For the type of alert you received, our recommendation is to reach out to the DMV to let them know that your driver's license number was located on the dark web. They will be able to provide assistance in determining the best course of action for your individual situation. -Maggie
