VETERAN IDENTITY THEFT BREACH
One year ago the personal information of 26.5 million veterans was stolen from the home of a Department of Veterans Affairs employee. “This security breach is the largest reported loss of personal information so far this year,” said LifeLock CEO Todd Davis. “The information that was taken can be a gold mine for identity thieves, and a major headache for veterans who become victims."

LifeLock prevents identity theft by maintaining active fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus as well as ChexSystems. The system makes personal information useless to everyone but the rightful owner. If someone attempts to open credit, change an address or make changes to bank accounts, LifeLock ensures that the right person is making the request.
Also unique to other ID theft prevention products on the market, LifeLock removes a member’s name from solicitation lists and junk mail, eliminating a primary target of ID thieves – the pre-approved credit offer. Best of all, LifeLock is backed by a $1 million guarantee to completely fix any problems if a client was ever compromised.

“We have a lot of veterans who are currently LifeLock customers,” Davis said. “They can rest assured that no matter who has their personal information, they’ll be protected. Now we want other veterans to know they can be safe, too." Based in Chandler, Arizona, LifeLock is the nation’s first and only preventative answer to identity theft that completely guarantees its service. The company was the first to offer special programs for children under 16 and victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita.

If you are considering applying for a loan, order a copy of your credit report. It's the best place to start. Why? Because your credit report is the first thing a potential lender will be look at to decide whether or not to grant you the loan, and at what rate of interest. Even if you pay your bills on time and think you have good credit, you will want to ensure that all the information in your credit report is up-to-date and accurate.
