CYID vs. Everything Else

There are many companies that offer one or more of the services described elsewhere on this website and possibly services that are new and not covered here. All of these services should be compared against the five PRIME™ benefit requirements of a complete identity protection solution.

Prevention of the most common types of identity theft
Restoration of your identity by a trained, certified professional in case of identity theft
Information to help you protect yourself and stay current on new threats
Monitoring of your identity to detect fraud
Expense reimbursement for your expenses in case fraud strikes

Disadvantages of Other Options

1. No service apart from Control Your ID fulfills the requirements of all five components of PRIME. As such these services leave gaps in your identity protection. Gaps that can lead to identity theft and put the burden of dealing with its consequences on you and your family. Very few of these services offer any protection for children.
2. Many services are not clear about how they work or how they protect you. Because some services cannot be tested before they are needed you don’t know how well they perform or if they work at all. Control Your ID has been helping consumers like you since 2004. During that time, we’ve protected over 2 million consumers but since no service can prevent 100% of identity theft all the time, isn"t it good to know that we’ve never had a member whose identity we weren’t able to restore?
3. Unfortunately, many of the services offered by other companies have proven to be ineffective at best and to cause damage the consumer at worst. Control Your ID has never been sued by any consumer, government agency, credit bureau or anyone else. We encourage you to see if the other providers you know about can say the same. Buyer beware! Search for "Name" and "Lawsuit" on the Internet.
