Shredding copies of your personal effects is one way to avoid others from ever accessing them. No wonder that fraud is the top most committed crime in the country and its number will continue to rise if we do not come up with our own means of combating it.

I also have a policy with Zander. My understanding with LifeLock, their service is only applicable if your identity was stolen because of a "failure of their service." Zander (I think it's really IDExperts) pays to help you fix things regardless. Disclaimer:I'm sure if you "platered your SSN#" they may have an out as well.

The service in question will only pay up if the theft occured as a result of a failure in their process. If you plastered your SSN# on the side of a truck, they probably will leave you high and dry.

How fair is that?? I had insurance as well, and they told me it was my own fault due to neglegence. How fair is that??

I pay 12.50 per month for my family (though Zander Insurance). I do this mainly because my wife freaks out about it. I know that I'm not liable for any charges if my identity is stolen. I pay for the insurance because in the event that it is stolen, heaven forbit, I don't want to spend hours upon hours on the phone clearing my good name - or my spouse, or one of my children. It fits in our budget and to me, it is worth it. My time is my most valuable asset. I have identity theft insurance. I pay 12.50 per month for my family (though Zander Insurance).
