I received a letter in the mail from our "great state" of Illinois that they failed to protect the personal information I'm required to provide to be licensed to do business.
I followed their advice and put a fraud alert on my credit report then went to follow their suggestion that we monitor our own credit multiple times throughout this year. Each credit agency (Experian/Equifax/TransUnion)offered monitoring services for a monthly fee. They ranged from $9.95 to $14.95. Another added expense!
While they notify you of any problems it doesn't appear to have any service available to help restore credit and correct the problem. Kinda like a doctor who diagnoses your illness but offers no cure. I'm not paying monthly for that!
According to my research identity theft victims spend on average over $1,000.00 in legal fees & over 100 (business) hours to correct this problem. Once breached you are more likely to be victimized again in the future. That's more time & money I want to spend developing my business!
I found a solution that makes more sense for me and share this with you for consideration. For virtually the same monthly fees it MONITORS & RESTORES your credit if there is any problems. It's offered by one of the nation's largest credit protection companies (Krull). The same one used by the government to assist with Enron & recover of Iranian assets.
