Deal of the day: 30 days free, Complete ID Theft Protection

November 4th, 2009 by Credit Manager No comments »

We’ve tried some services like this before but they did not match up to Lifelock and all that their protection encompasses. How can you argue when it’s 10.00 a month and offers all this? We get lots of emails about people who have been victims of identity theft and it is a nightmare that can last years. What we like about Lifelock is that its core is a PREVENTION service,which is what was missing from this type of service before. Most so called identity theft programs only helped you AFTER the theft occurred. This proactive mechanism definitely makes Lifelock stand out.

30 days FREE plus 10% off on a monthly and annual subscription.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, a surviving relative usually has no legal obligation to pay the debts of a family member who has died. In fact, the rights of surviving relatives are covered by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect from you.
