  • What if my employment status changes?
    When you leave or retire from your current employer, you can continue your coverage without interruption, subject to applicable law and the product’s terms and conditions. Although payroll deduction will no longer be available if you retire or leave your company, you can still take advantage of the same discounted rates through credit card billing.

  • Why would I need ID Watchdog?

    ID Watchdog has the powerful features you want at an affordable price: 

    • Credit Lock - With our online and in-app feature, lock your Equifax® credit report1 — and your child’s Equifax credit report — to help provide additional protection against unauthorized access to your credit.
    • More for Families - Our family plan helps you better protect your loved ones, with each adult getting their own account with all plan features. And, we offer more features that help protect minors than any other provider.
    • Dedicated Resolution Specialists - If you become a victim, you don’t have to face it alone. One of our certified resolution specialists will fully manage the case for you until your identity is restored.

 

1.Locking your Equifax credit report will prevent access to it by certain third parties. Locking your Equifax credit report will not prevent access to your credit report at any other credit reporting agency. Entities that may still have access to your Equifax credit report include: companies like ID Watchdog, which provide you with access to your credit report or credit score, or monitor your credit report as part of a subscription or similar service; companies that provide you with a copy of your credit report or credit score, upon your request; federal, state, and local government agencies and courts in certain circumstances; companies using the information in connection with the underwriting of insurance, or for employment, tenant or background screening purposes; companies that have a current account or relationship with you, and collection agencies acting on behalf of those whom you owe; companies that authenticate a consumer's identity for purposes other than granting credit, or for investigating or preventing actual or potential fraud; and companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you.
