Yes, there are many other credit monitoring services, including other offers from the credit agencies themselves such as Equifax and Transunion, but many were eliminated as they only monitored one credit bureau, didn't provide daily updates or simply because their offer did not have any value compared to the credit monitoring companies we have shown. One bureau credit monitoring will not offer you much fraud protection as it will only notify you if the credit fraud was committed through that particular bureau.

We did, however, include the Family Secure monitoring plan from Experian as they are the only credit monitoring service that helps protect your child's identity which is no small matter as these cases are increasing daily. We also included Triple Alert credit monitor, even though they don't provide you with your credit report to monitor, as it is a low cost option for people to start with or add on to their existing identity theft monitoring plan.

Credit Monitoring can be an excellent choice for identity theft protection especially if it is supplemented with the placement of a fraud alert. You can either do this yourself, or have Debix do it for you for only $24 per year. The same can also be said for those who are considering identity protection from LifeLock or TrustedID. Adding credit monitoring from Triple Alert at $4.95 per month will give you an added credit check.

Credit monitoring reviews will be provided soon. In the meantime you can visit these credit services to learn how they help you monitor your credit and good name. Additionally, a credit score monitoring comparison will be added to our website in the near future. This should help consumers looking for credit repair advice due to the downturn in our economy.

Stay safe, start monitoring your credit today.
