Just Signed Up For Credit Report Monitoring

I ran in a 5K race over the weekend and returned to my car to discover that my passenger side window was smashed and my wallet and my wife’s purse were missing. Smart thief knew that people running in a charity run would probably not be carrying wallets and purses with them on the race route. So, we had to spend hours calling credit card companies and retailers and so on to stop all of our accounts. And that’s when I thought it might be a good idea to hire a credit report monitoring service. Not only do they alert you over identity theft issues but they contact all your credit card companies in case you lose your cards. That alone is worth the small fee they charge.
