We’ve been blogging for months about how hard we have worked to become debt free, and part of the process of protecting our credit is ensuring that we have protected our identity. My bloggy pal Joey had her identity stolen several years ago and is still encountering problem after problem surrounding this issue. Protecting yourself and your valuable information is made easy with LifeLock.

Recently there was a major security breach with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and LifeLock shared these helpful tips:
“Look for evidence that your Social Security number has been misused. The thing is,this may not happen today or next week. Often, once criminals have such information, they can sit on it for long periods of time—months, even years—before trying to use it. And in some cases, they may sell it to other criminals. ”
With LifeLock you can log into your control panel and see all your identity activity at any time. When you’re on the go, you can be alerted of suspicious activity via email or phone. With LifeLock you can rest assured that your information is being monitored so that you have more time to do something fun – like enjoying your debt free life!
