What You Need to Know The credit scores provided are based on the VantageScore® 3.0 model. For three-bureau VantageScore credit scores, data from Equifax®, Experian®, and TransUnion® are used respectively. Any one-bureau VantageScore uses Equifax data. Third parties use many different types of credit scores and are likely to use a different type of credit score to assess your creditworthiness. ¹ If my Equifax credit report is locked, who can access it? Entities that may still have access to your Equifax credit report include: • Companies that provide you with a copy of your credit report or credit score, upon your request; • Federal, state, and local government agencies and courts in certain circumstances; • Companies using the information in connection with the underwriting of insurance, or for employment, tenant or background screening purposes; • Companies that have a current account or relationship with you, and collection agencies acting on behalf of those whom you owe; • Companies that authenticate a consumer's identity for purposes other than granting credit, or for investigating or preventing actual or potential fraud; and • Companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you. You may opt out of pre-approved offers by visiting www.optoutprescreen.com;

This is must have app if you are a subscriber. Most banks offer credit monitoring, but this goes beyond. They monitor the dark web, sex offenders in your area, digital wallet..... It's amazing.

Identity protection. This app does exactly what it says it does not only will it protect your identity, but it will let you know with an alert almost immediately if somebody attempts to do something with your identity or cards that are registered with it this has locked my card in under 3 seconds until I called them to let them know it was actually me making the purchase amazing job

ID Watchdog has a great service and their app just makes everything easier. Love being able to review credit and identity alerts near real time and see my credit history (not just my current score). I travel frequently and appreciate having my wallet credentials secure but available at my fingertips (literally - they have a fingerprint sign-in).

The app used to work, but now I can see alerts exist, but never load them. Please fix this!

Absolutely horrible business! The app won't let you log in and the website on a pc doesn't work either other than just your name. This is all super sketchy, and I regret signing up. Please be advised and don't download or sign up for this BS!

I download this app and got it all set up. The very next time I opened it it wouldn't close, I couldn't use my phone I couldn't turn off my phone I couldn't restart my phone, I have to let the battery die in order to get my phone back. This app is absolutely trashed I suggest nobody downloaded or try and use it. I wasn't sure if I was going to even get use of my phone back. After my battery died, and I was able to restart my phone I uninstalled the app right away, be really careful.
