Protect your name

We now live in an age where people actually work full time at stealing peoples identities. I have a friend who is a 911 operator and she says you should never put mail out in your mailbox for the postman to pick up because people drive through neighborhoods and steal the outgoing mail from the mailboxes. This way they can get your credit card payment and have your card number and with your check they can have your bank information. So now there is life lock. It is a service for individuals, family and believe it or not even for students. You don't think about someone stealing your young children's identity but think about it... They have a social security number and being a child they do not have bad credit, unless someone steals their identity and uses it to get credit and when they grow up and try to get their own credit they are shocked to discover that someone has already ruined it for them. This can take people years and years to get straighten up. Identity theft victims have actually gone to jail, lost jobs, have trouble getting insurance and many other issues to deal with.
