Frequently Asked Questions

What will IdentityForce do for me?

This company is known for providing its customers with highly advanced technology and techniques to combat identity theft. Do not get this plan if you’re looking for a casual (cheaper) protection plan. Base plan includes public monitoring including medical documents, $1 million insurance policy and instant fraud alerts. You also get personal agents dedicated to restoring your identity. Upgraded plan includes credit monitoring from all 3 bureaus. One thing it won’t do for you is give you a mobile app to use.

How much will Identity Force cost me?

It’s $17.95 a month or $179.50 a year for the base plan with a free 14 day trial regardless with their base plan, the upgraded plan is $23.95 a month or $239.50 per year (no free trial.)

Will IdentityForce stop identity theft from happening to me?

They’re proactive, and they provide anti-phishing tools to ensure you stay on the right sites. The instant alerts when there’s a change or possible suspicious activity is helpful too, though they do not guarantee they can stop all identity theft.

Will Identity Force help me after identity theft happens to me?

Yes, even on the base plan, they offer dedicated people to keep you from having to deal with the many hassles and details involved in restoring your identity theft. This is a tremendously valuable benefit for busy people.

Is IdentityForce a scam?

No. They’ve been deemed worthy by government agencies, where standards have to be high. Their reputation with the BBB is also stellar.

Is Identity Force worth the cost of services?

This is a full-service organization, including credit monitoring, and it does appear to be worth it for the people who want protection from all angles.

How legitimate is IdentityForces’s service?

We give this company high marks for their legitimacy. They’ve been in business for almost 40 years, and customers report they get alerts quickly to their phones. Website is well designed, if lacking the mobile technology that we’ve come to expect from the bigger names.

Will using Identity Force affect my credit score?

No. The type of pull that identity theft companies do on your credit report does not affect your credit. The upgraded plan monitors your credit, meaning you’ll only have more insight into how to improve your score.

Yes. The company is trusted with federal and consumer information alike, and their lips are sealed.
