Monitor & Detect
By monitoring your credit and billions of data points, we help keep you informed of changes and activity related to your personal information.
The credit scores provided are based on the VantageScore® 3.0 model. For three-bureau VantageScore credit scores, data from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are used respectively. Any one-bureau VantageScore uses Equifax data. Third parties use many different types of credit scores and are likely to use a different type of credit score to assess your creditworthiness.
Monitors your credit report from one or all three nationwide credit bureaus (Equifax®, TransUnion®, Experian®) depending on your plan and provides alerts of activity, which if unexpected, could be a sign of potential fraud.
Scans the Equifax credit database for a child’s Social Security number and alerts you if a credit file potentially exists or is created under your child’s identity. Typically, a child should not have a credit report; if they do, it could be a sign of identity theft.
Monitors your identity and sends an alert if we detect new specialty finance activity in the monitored network using your identity including payday, subprime, high-cost installment, rent-to-own, and other loans outside of the traditional banking system.
Scans websites, chat rooms, and other forums known for trafficking stolen personal and financial information for compromised credentials including Social Security numbers and email addresses. Enter additional credentials such as credit cards, bank accounts, and driver’s license to be included in the scanning.
Helps you better protect against account take overs and fraudulent new accounts opened in your name by alerting you, if we detect in the monitored network, a high-risk validation performed by a financial institution using your identity. These validations are required for new account openings, adding or changing an account holder, and other high-risk activity such as wire transfers and large withdrawals.
Alerts you if your personal information has been associated with a reported data breach or was detected through our dark web scans.

The monitored network does not cover all businesses or transactions.
Dark Web Monitoring scans thousands of internet sites where consumers’ personal information is suspected of being bought and sold, and is constantly adding new sites to those it searches. However, the internet addresses of these suspected internet trading sites are not published and frequently change, so there is no guarantee that ID Watchdog is able to locate and search every possible internet site where consumers’ personal information is at risk of being traded.
Under certain circumstances, access to your Equifax Credit Report may not be available as certain consumer credit files maintained by Equifax contain credit histories, multiple trade accounts, and/or an extraordinary number of inquiries of a nature that prevents or delays the delivery of your Equifax Credit Report. If a remedy for the failure is not available, the product subscription will be cancelled and a full refund will be made.
