Can I find out my credit score?
You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    Maybe somebody would like to ask him about Free ID Protection?

    No but your clogging up the boards and making it less likely that people with questions or problems won't get a decent response.

    FREE ID protection??

    or actually PAID FOR ID protection paid for in the price you pay for the Credit Reporting Service!!!
    I have numerous qualifications in Business and Finance, Accountancy, Health and Safety and am now studying Law.

    Don't rely on anything I write as it may be wrong!!!

    That is an incredible idea and so simple.

    Only downside is that with a notice of correction all applications must be manually approved.

    I guess it's worth waiting a while if it reduces the chance of fraud though.
    What will your verse be?

    The chance of fraud is very low and for this reason we recommend people only add a note to their report (usually including a password) if they are a victim of fraud already or there's a heightened risk of fraud, for example, if your purse/wallet's been stolen.

    The average fraud victim (c125k reported last year) takes 14 months to discover it, by which time the damage is at its maximum. People who choose to monitor for fraud are likely to spot any attempted fraud very quickly and therefore limit the damage. I guess, like insurance, it's a peace of mind thing for most.
