Credit Monitoring Services

One of the best ways to protect yourself from identity theft and unreasonable creditors is to monitor your credit rating & credit history with a credit monitoring service.

Credit monitoring services allow you to manage and monitor all aspects of your credit information. You can view your credit history and pick-up any errors or odd transations. You can also view your credit score and view any outstanding balances. Most importantly you can view your credit history at any-time to pick-up transactions that your didn’t make (that may have been made by an identity thief). This allows you to act on this information instantly and reduce/prevent any damage.

One such credit monitoring service is provided by Citi. They are currently offering a trial of their credit monitoring services (this service is $9.95 per month thereafter).
