Identity Theft Shield: Protecting Your Family for One Low Monthly Fee

There has been much media coverage, recently, on the growing epidemic involving identity theft. For my family, the protection we are afforded under our Identity Theft Shield plan has provided me with peace of mind. As a legal plan that protects my family from identity theft and also resolves any identity theft issues, Identity Theft Shield, through Pre-Paid Legal, has saved countless hours and dollars when I allow the experts at Kroll International take care of my issues.

While I chose to carry the full Pre-Paid Legal family plan, at around $25 a month, it is possible to secure only the Identity Theft Shield coverage for a low rate of $9.95 a month. For this low monthly fee, comparable to what many families pay for Internet service, you can rest assured of the protection you receive from Identity Theft and the security of efficient and cost effective repair should identity theft occur.

Several years ago, I was the victim of identity theft. In my particular case, someone had acquired access to not only my credit card number but also my bank debit card number. While I had these two cards in my possession, someone had created new cards, with my numbers, and proceeded to take a road trip across the country, using my bank account funds and credit card limits to buy sporting equipment and gas for their vehicle. When that incident occurred, because the banking debits take several days to post, I spent, literally, seven consecutive days at the bank, filling out forms to dispute each individual charge. Following each dispute, I had to wait several days for the monies to be posted back into my account. What is even more amazing is the fact that I, personally, noticed the transactions were occuring when I attempted to balance my checking account balance online. I will never forget that day; realizing my bank account had been depleted of funds and then waiting several days for the bank to re-deposit those funds back to my bank account.

Today, I carry Identity Theft Shield coverage, offered through Pre-Paid Legal (www.prepaidlegal.com), and feel confident that I am protected against theft and, in the event my identity is stolen again, I am assured that I will not need to spend countless hours at the bank, filling out forms to dispute charges. Instead, my membership with Identity Theft Shield affords me the service of resolving any identity theft issues so that I can move on with my life and not waste my valuable time and money.

As a personal account to the protection under the Identity Theft Shield plan, I highly recommend the plan to families all across the United States. While all of the Pre-Paid Legal plans are excellent protection, the Identity Theft Shield plan is the key to protecting you and your family against the financial nightmare we all may one day face when our identity is stolen.
