Even if you’re doing everything you can to be safe, someone with ill intent may find a way to get hold of your personal information.

Identity theft—the deliberate assumption of another person’s identity—is a rapidly growing crime that most people will face at some point in their lives. It occurs when a criminal acquires and uses the victim’s personal information, such as a Social Security or driver’s license number, to take out loans, obtain new credit cards, rent an apartment, purchase a car, run up debt, file for bankruptcy and/or other criminal activities. Identity theft can not only damage someone’s creditworthi-ness, it can also create a criminal record that might result in the identity theft victim being wrongly arrested or denied employment after a routine background check.

There is no foolproof way to stop identity theft, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take action to minimize your risk. The best way to do that is to help protect your personal data with a comprehensive identity theft monitoring service. Costco Services offers the Complete ID program from CSID at a very affordable price. It includes the following, among other features.

Comprehensive tools. Complete ID helps to guard your identity with complete data monitoring and state-of-the-art technology to keep track of your credit scores, mail change alerts, checking and savings account application alerts and more.

Proactive monitoring. Proactively
monitor a comprehensive set of identity
factors, such as your Social Security number,
personal contact information and bank activity.
Identity status check. An initial identity
checkup offers you a complete view of your
personal identity status. If there is a change
in status that you should know about, such
as credit inquiries, or if a change of address
is filed with the Postal Service, you will be
notified promptly.

Expert support. In the event of identity abuse or breach, you receive up to $1 million in coverage and complete identity restoration support.
