I am now signed up. I got my e-mail yesterday and followed the link. I have my major credit cards and my debit card monitored. Hopefully I am safe…
but for the price, I can’t complain.
I don’t plan on using fraud alerts because I do want to sign up for credit sometime in the future. I will know if an inquiry has been on my credit reports, so I’m not too concerned.
