Legal Shield was the protection and resolution my family needed when three of us were the victims of identity theft. LegalShield IDShield was our peace of mind. Their website was user friendly and the the signup process is very easy.

We have had ID shield for years and the one time we try to use them they pretty much told us that our payments that we made an account for nothing I don’t think they’re very good credible company. Not good for the money that we paid.

I loved the service and the protection was amazing!! I was a victim of identity theft, lifelock fixed all my problems, they took care of all the legal stuff, and helped me to get a identity theft pin number for my taxes.

I had gotten a free year of this service and four months after having the service someone had opened an account at Sam’s club in Canada while I lived in Florida. I had gotten no notice of it whatsoever and then received a bill from Sam’s Club for over $2,000. So, I don’t have anything good to say about this “identity theft protection “.
The Final Word
IDShield provides customers with access to licensed in-house private investigators, 12-month credit score tracking history, and unlimited identity theft restoration services.
LifeLock, on the other hand, provides customers with online protection software including virus protection and parental controls, lost wallet protection, cyberthreat-blocking Norton technology, secure VPN services, data breach alerts, and much more.
Overall, both companies offer top-notch services in comparison to many other companies in the identity theft protection industry. LifeLock, however, appears to provide slightly more advanced technology and services than IDShield, and has a lower price range for its service options.
