ID Watchdog is a good service for protecting your identity, but at twice the price of others, it doesn’t offer quite the value.

They are accredited by the BBB, which means they have been in business for over 3 years and received very good reviews from consumers.

ID Watchdog is primarily an identity protection service not a credit monitoring service. They provide online fraud monitoring, but do not include the functions to generate fraud alerts or freeze your credit. Also, unlike some other reviewed identity theft protection services, ID Watchdog only monitors for changes in databases once a month as opposed to all the time.

Forget the gimmicky $1 million mark, ID Watchdog claims they will do whatever it takes to help you restore your good name and will cover all costs, 100%.

They don't provide a credit history report, nor do they remove your name from telemarketing or junk mail lists. They do offer a family protection plan, a nice feature for anyone looking to protect their entire household.

ID Watchdog does provide phone support, though their hours of operation are somewhat limited providing live assistance for only standard working hours (8-6) on weekdays.

They provide protection for your name and social security number, as well as driver’s license, vehicle registration, and criminal records. However, ID Watchdog does not provide any protection of your credit card numbers.
