Choosing Between Lifelock Identity Protection And Debix

The following provides some things to consider when deciding between Debix and LifeLock.

Everyone knows that LifeLock is the market leader when it comes to identity protection services. They do all the work for their clients even though many things could be done yourself for free such as ordering your credit report. In order to get attention and show how confident they are in being able to protect your identity, Lifelocks CEO actually made his social security number public. This is how I first became conscious of them. LifeLock is also able to generate positive public relations for itself because they have been recognized by multiple agencies.

Life Lock has some illegal databases for your private to ensure it is not being sold. TrueAddress checks with databases that your address has not been changed by a criminal. LifeLock the only identity theft protection service who can truly protect children from identity theft.

LifeLock is ISO 27001 certified which shows that their security procedures at company headquarters in Tempe, Arizona is the best of the best. They seem to have invested in such which makes them able to provide real protection of the information that people hand them. They also were the first to offer the $1 Million identity theft insurance offer.

Debix, another identity protection company gaining traction in the identity theft racket, is almost as good as LifeLock. They also put a Debix Safe Number in your credit file, not your phone number. This keeps personal phone numbers private. Also, during the credit approval request process, reporting fraudulent credit requests is easy to report to law enforcers by just pushing a button. Simply hit star to be connected to a licensed investigator who will help you contact the appropriate authorities.

Debix has a patented system that offers a secure interface for credit protection. Debixs utilization of fraud alerts is simply the best. There is also an audit trail that ensures the creditor can’t lie about not calling you.

Both Debix and LifeLock place fraud alerts for you and get you a copy of your three bureau credit report. They also stop the flood of junk mail. Debix also stops telemarketing calls. The essential differences are Debix’s innovative fraud alert system and low price $24/year compared to LifeLocks additional services including Erecon, TrueAddress, WalletLock and, of course, the $1 million guarantee.

This should help you evaluate which company is right for you. In my opinion you get better identity protection with LifeLock but at $24 a year Debix is certainly worth considering. $75 a year is a lot cheaper.
