Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Denver, CO, ID Watchdog is the only identity theft advocacy company that provides 360-degree detection, protection and resolution services for identity theft. The company’s solutions were developed with assistance from federal agencies, U. S. Postal Inspectors, state and local law enforcement officials and several state attorneys general and have been endorsed by state bankers’ associations. Since credit reports reflect only a fraction of identity theft, ID Watchdog Plus™, the company’s most comprehensive offering, analyzes thousands of databases to detect activity before there is any impact.
Why UsID Watchdog's identity theft protection and detection products provide you with comprehensive personal information reports that allow you to review your personal information for accuracy and early detection of identity theft.
We have formulated a proprietary ID monitoring system that looks at the names, addresses and phone numbers listed on your identity profile. These records are most frequently associated with your social security number. Generally identity thieves will look to open new credit, mortgage, loan, or bank accounts in your name, and those accounts will be re-routed to new addresses that they establish.
Current monitoring systems only search for identity theft crimes after the damage has been done. Using state of the art technology, and tapping into literally thousands of consumer databases, ID Watchdog's revolutionary monitoring services monitors key components of a consumer's identity notify you before any major damage has occurred.
ID Watchdog provides consumer based solutions for the protection, detection, and resolution of identity theft. We detect changes to identifying information which may have occurred as a result of identity theft or fraud and provide consumers with a comprehensive report. When cases of identity theft or fraud are present, we will certify the victim and work to completely resolve the records showing negative effects of identity theft. We are the first company to develop an identity theft certification program and the first to devise a thorough process designed to completely restores personal information to its proper and correct standing.
Comprised of privacy experts, bankers, former secret service agents, entrepreneurs, lawyers, and financial professionals we are concerned about the rights of consumers and the difficulties associated with the resolution of fraud and inaccurate personal information. By pooling our efforts, knowledge and research, we have developed a process for identifying identity theft and the personal information inaccuracies associated with it.
Security breaches of personal information are becoming more and more common. A breach is the unauthorized acquisition of personal data that compromises the security, confidentiality or integrity of personal information maintained by a person or business. Personal information, such as social security numbers, dates of birth, user names and passwords are all extremely sensitive because they are the necessary tools identity thieves need to commit their crimes.
ID Watchdog allows the consumer to take control of his or her identity by gaining access to the reports that contain their personal data. We help verify and manage the accuracy of personal information, and notify the client if the possibility of identity theft is discovered. ID Watchdog is the complete solution for identity theft detection, certification, resolution, and monitoring.
