We’re talking about LifeLock, IdentityForce, and even Identity Guard. These companies charge monthly fees that usually start at $10. Also, banks and credit unions have packages they sell to customers, like other major credit rating companies such as Experian and TransUnion. The majority of these credit monitoring services will offer you various identity protection tools and services.
