ID Armor gives you proactive identity theft detection at a very low price. If you need identity protection but aren’t looking to pay much, ID Armor is a good option, though we suggest you also take a look at FreeIDENTITYprotect’s completely free low-end protection service.

They started in late 2007, which means they have not been around long enough to be accredited by the Better Business Bureau.

ID Armor will put secure fraud alerts with all three credit bureaus that notify them to contact you if anyone (including you) tries to take a new line of credit. ID Armor does not provide fraud monitoring or credit freezing.

They don't provide identity theft recovery assistance, though they do have a $1 million service guarantee that will be used to pay professionals (of their selection) if their service is at fault.

ID Armor provides their members with a yearly credit report from all three credit bureaus.

ID Armor has an 1-800 number provided for phone support, or you can contact them via e-mail for assistance. Sign-up for their service is only available online.

ID Armor protects all your standard identifying information, including name, phone number, and credit card information.
