CYID vs. Legal Assistance

In recent years, Legal Assistance providers have begun to offer identity theft counseling or restoration services as an included or optional add-on to their existing services.

Disadvantages of Legal Assistance

1. Many legal assistance providers have been sued multiple times - accused of not providing the legal assistance that subscribers expected when they needed them. Check the provider you are using and avoid those with questionable reputations. You don’t want to pay for a service that not only costs you money but lets you down when you need it. Buyer beware! Search for "Name" and "Lawsuit" on the Internet.
2. Legal assistance programs simply do not charge consumers enough to pay for a lawyer's costly assistance. The services you will receive may be very limited.
3. Legal assistance programs typically offer no proactive prevention or monitoring components.
4. The quality of information services designed to protect you varies greatly by provider and typically is not known at the time of purchase.

PRIME™ Score = 10% (Poor)

Because Legal Assistance offers no proactive protection benefit, limited help with restoration and no capacity to monitor your identity for possible fraud, it offers very incomplete protection if you want to control your ID. Furthermore, many providers have been sued, accused of offering no real benefit when consumers needed it.
