If you need help monitoring your credit and cleaning up your online profile, it is worth your time to look at TrustedID. Their package is so complete, financial expert Suzy Orman teamed up with TrustedID to sell her Identity Theft Kit & monitoring service back in 2008!  She still promotes TrustedID, only it will cost you more to buy it through her website.

TrustedID will give you a free14-day trial that includes a free credit score and a full credit report from all three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Plus, they will scan your private information to find vulnerabilities online.

Additional Services
