Experian ProtectMyID
Who is Experian ProtectMyID? Experian is one of the nation’s three major credit reporting agencies that holds almost every consumer's credit information. Their bureau has been in business for several years and they have established themselves to be one of the best. Experian jumped on the identity theft protection bandwagon about 4 years ago. Over that time, their product has been able to evolve and position itself as a top service along with other major companies like LifeLock and Identity Guard.
Experian has one product plan for $15.95 which is a little more than the average price for identity theft protection. Among several, major data breach attacks such as Target and Neiman Marcus, those companies chose to work with ProtectMyID to provide their consumers with the protection and restoration services they may need. Since Experian is a major credit bureau, identity theft protection is a natural transition for them since they have the basic technology to detect any potential fraudulent !nancial activity to someone’s identity. Customers can be assured that ProtectMyID has the proper technologies in place.
Experian ProtectMyID has one of the best insurance policies in place. With a great insurance provider and a enough money allotted for lost income/wages, any person should feel !nancially secure if ever becoming a victim to identity fraud. They offer their customers internet scanning of private information, national change of address monitoring, medical record monitoring, lost wallet protection and identity theft resolution from Experian agents. Experian has also earned a Best in Class Call Center award in 2013. In comparison to other credit bureaus, Experian has a responsive call #oor.
Experian ProtectMyID is good at anything credit-related, since they have been involved in the credit industry for decades, but they would not be able to help consumers detect more sophisticated forms of identity theft. Complaint Summary: Many of the Experian ProtectMyID users were not pleased with the service they were provided. ProtectMyID’s current average User Score is a 3.7 out of 10. Common complaints included not receiving their promised alerts, trouble with signing into the interface and not being satis!ed with Experian representatives upon requesting help or assistance.
We found that more people are comfortable signing up with a company if they offer a free trial before a commitment to the monthly service. BestIDThe>Companys.com does not include free trials as a part of their criteria, but there is a certain level of confidence in companies who do offer at least a 7-‐day trial period. ProtectMyID only scores well in credit monitoring and idenFty the> insurance, and they either score average or low in all of our other major factors. We haven’t found one good reason why Experian ProtectMyID stands out among other great idenFty the> protecFon companies.
The fact that Experian ProtectMyID customers have been so unhappy with their service says a lot. Some may think that big companies should have systems and processes down, but maybe Experian can’t handle a heavy amount of identity theft protection customers. Should Experian only stick to credit-related services? We would like to see ProtectMyID with a higher than average score in Identity Protection before recommending their service. Also, an inclusion of an antivirus subscription would increase their security measures against fraud as well as increase their Overall Score as a company.
To get a sneak peak of the Experian ProtectMyID member access online dashboard, visit http://bestidtheftcompanys.com/company/experian-protectmyid under the Member Access tab. You can also read more detailed information on the features, bene!ts and contract commitments under other tabs on the Experian ProtectMyID company review on BIDTC. There are many good things about Experian, but because they aren’t a true identity theft protection company we would recommend consumers exploring other options before signing up with Experian. You would be able to !nd a $16/month service with more bene!ts somewhere else.
