Why do I need ProtectMyID?
Identity thieves and fraudsters get access to personal data by:
- Stealing post with personal details from a mailbox or rubbish bin.
- Finding personal details online from websites such as e-commerce sites where purchases have been made or from social networking profiles.
- Purchasing personal details being fraudulently traded online.
This stolen personal information is used to open accounts such as mobile phone contracts or utility services in the victim’s name or to apply for credit, such as credit cards or loans.
When an application for credit is made under an individual’s name, the lender does a search of the credit report to determine their credit worthiness (the ability to repay any money owed).
The National Fraud Service recommend* that obtaining your credit report is a way of protecting yourself against ID theft. A credit report will show you any searches done by a lender, what date the search took place, what name and address it was done against and also for what type of application. It will also show what credit accounts are set up in your name.
