If you have not completed authentication, please chat with one of our Identity Care Specialists, so that we may assist you with unlocking your account.

How to use the Unlock Tool:

If you get locked out of your account while trying to login, you will receive a message on the screen that states “Looks like you are having some trouble.

We provide two attempts for members to authenticate the account. The system needs to generate new security questions based on the user’s credit report. If the user attempts to answer the questions but decides to finish it later, the system will recognize this as an official attempt.

If the user attempts too many times, the system will lock the account, and the user MUST wait for 72 hours. If the user tries to authenticate before 72 hours, the system will relock the 72 hour waiting period. Once the account is officially locked, it cannot be unlocked until 72 hours have passed.

We recommend signing up for IDSeal after establishing at least two lines of credit for six months or longer.

For security purposes, we require our members to authenticate their account. If you aren’t able to authenticate your account, please chat with one of our Identity Care Specialists.

Every reported item on your credit report is used to calculate your credit score. If your score has changed significantly since the last month, it may be due to the fact that an account was not reported for the month or an item has been added to or removed from your report. Drastic changes in account balances and opening new lines of credit may also significantly impact your score.

In some cases, a credit reporting agency (CRA) may commit errors on your credit file and the incorrect information may trigger a notification. Nevertheless, if you see a credit notification that is not accurate, please call us and one of our Identity Care Specialists will be able to assist you. Our Identity Care Specialists are available Monday through Friday from 10AM to 7PM ET.

Each credit reporting agency (CRA) generates a score derived from what is reported about you. A creditor may report to one, two or all three of the national CRAs. As a result, the information one CRA has may be different than another, resulting in a different credit score.

In some cases, a credit reporting agency (CRA) may commit errors on your report – the incorrect information may simply be a mistake. However, if you feel the error may be the result of an identity theft, please call us and one of our Identity Care Specialists will be able to assist you. Our Identity Care Specialists are available Monday through Friday from 10AM to 7PM ET.

To dispute an inquiry or other information on your report, you will need to contact the relevant CRA. The contact information for the three national CRAs is below:

Experian®: www.experian.com/disputes
TransUnion®: www.transunion.com
Equifax®: www.equifax.com

One of the great benefits included in your IDSeal plan is access to your credit reports and scores from all 3 national credit reporting agencies (CRAs) – Experian®, Equifax®  and Transunion®  –  every six months during your membership term. To access your credit reports and scores, log in to the Member Portal and go to “Credit Monitoring”.

A credit score is a three digit number, typically between 300 and 850, which is designed to represent your credit risk, or the likelihood you will pay your bills on time. A credit score is calculated based on a method using the content of your consumer file.

The way your credit score is calculated and the contents of your consumer file may vary between each of the three national credit reporting agencies (CRAs) (Equifax®, Experian®, and TransUnion®). This is because not all creditors report to all three agencies.

While most creditors do report to all three national CRAs, you may hold an account with a creditor that only reports to one CRA or a creditor that doesn’t report to any of the three national CRAs. There are many different credit scores used by lenders, including credit scores provided by the three national CRAs, and credit scores that are custom built and used by a specific lender.

Credit reporting agencies (CRAs) collect information from lenders and other data sources, create a comprehensive credit report, and provide this data to potential lenders and others that might need to assess your creditworthiness, such as landlords.

One of the great benefits included in your IDSeal plan, is access to your credit reports from all 3 national credit reporting agencies (CRAs) – Experian®, Equifax®  and Transunion® –  every six months during your membership term.

Credit reports are composed of the data a credit reporting agency (CRA) has gathered about you from lenders and other sources. This may include records of mortgage payments, credit card balances and payments, auto loan payments and credit inquiries. It may also include public records.

One of the great benefits included in your IDSeal plan, is access to your credit reports and scores from all 3 national credit reporting agencies (CRAs) – Experian®, Equifax® and Transunion® – every six months during your membership term.

The company responsible for the breach should promptly notify you if your information is exposed, and should also tell you what information or types of information are involved. You will also receive an alert from IDSeal via the Digital Spy service if we detect that any of the personal information you provided in connection with your membership account is found being sold, traded or bought in the dark web.

Suspicious Phone Call
It is important to note that phone calls can be phishing schemes that criminals use to try to get your information by deception. Unfortunately, IDSeal is unable to assist with or investigate unwanted or suspicious phone calls such as these. We recommend that you never give any personal or bank information over the phone unless you are certain of the caller’s true identity. You may want to contact your telephone service provider to see if it is possible to block calls from the unwanted number.

You may also contact your state Attorney General to file a consumer complaint regarding these phone calls, as well as filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. To learn more about telephone fraud or report instances of telephone fraud, visit www.ftc.gov/phonefraud.

Another recommendation is to register your phone number on the national Do Not Call Registry at <www.DoNotCall.gov, or by calling 1-888-382-1222 from the number you wish to register. If you register online, you must click on the confirmation email you receive to complete your free registration.

Suspicious Email
Emails may be phishing schemes that criminals use to try to obtain your information by deception. Be sure to delete the email and do not reply or click any of the links. Never give any personal or bank information over the Internet unless you are certain of the sender’s identity.

If you suspect you have been a victim of Internet Fraud, you can file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) which is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). IC3 accepts online Internet crime complaints from either the person who believes they were defrauded or from a third party to the complaint.

Please visit www.ic3.gov for additional information.

Suspicious Mail
Unfortunately, receiving suspicious mail is fairly common and does not necessarily mean that an identity theft has occurred. IDSeal is unable to stop or investigate this type of unwanted mail. One suggestion is to mark the mail with “Return to Sender—Not at This Address” and put it back into the mail. If you continue to receive mail that is not yours, please notify the post office. If you are also receiving unwanted junk mail, you can opt out of this online by visiting www.dmachoice.org and filling out the online form. Another opt-out option is: www.optoutprescreen.com. Both services are free to use.

As always, watch your accounts carefully. If you notice any unauthorized activity on any of your personal accounts, please notify IDSeal and the financial institution in question as soon as possible.

If you have not already done so, please immediately contact your financial institution to report the fraudulent transactions so they may begin an investigation into your account.

For your security, your bank or creditor will speak only with the account holder. However, we will assist in reviewing your account with you for any other cards that were possibly in your wallet and contact those entities.

If you are not in your home state when the event occurs, we will help in canceling your cards and assist in contacting your state’s DMV office to replace your identification. A police report may be needed as documentation for a lost or stolen wallet.

● Report the crime to the police immediately. Get a copy of your police report or case number. Credit card companies, your bank, and the insurance company may ask you to reference the report to verify the crime.
● Immediately contact your credit card issuers. Get replacement cards with new account numbers and ask that the old account be processed as “account closed at consumer’s request” for credit record purposes. You should also follow up this telephone conversation with a letter to the credit card company that summarizes your request in writing.
● Call the fraud units of the three credit reporting bureaus and ask that your accounts be flagged. Also, add a victim’s statement to your report that requests that they contact you to verify future credit applications.
● Keep a log of all conversations with authorities and financial entities. And follow-up! Make sure that all creditors or credit bureaus have received what they need from you
