Application Monitoring

Criminals frequently use stolen information to open unauthorized accounts, such as utilities, payday loans, or credit cards. Our monitoring system scans extensive networks, including financial institutions, utility providers, and non-credit inquiries to detect fraudulent applications linked to your personal data. Even if a credit check isn’t performed, we can identify attempts to use your information — whether it’s your name, Social Security number, or other sensitive data. When possible suspicious activity is detected, we alert you in real-time, so you can take swift, decisive action to help prevent fraud.
