IDEssentials Features

What makes IDEssentials so impressive is its extensive list of features – all designed to protect your identity and keep your credit secure. Here’s what your IDEssentials protection includes:

Identity Monitoring

The identity monitoring service offered by Mint goes beyond the basics. IDEssentials will:

• Find out which pieces or combinations of personal information is online.
• How often this information is found.
• Where your personal information is found online.

Using this information, IDEssentials can determine how easy it would be for identity thieves to piece together your information and use it to their advantage.

Identity Threat Score

Identity Theft Score is only offered through TrustedID, and Mint Credit Monitor provides you with TrustedID protection. Your score is a reflection of your risk of identity theft (low, moderate or high), and is determined by how much of your personal information is available online, the type of information that’s available and the source of the information.

3-Bureau Credit Scores

Gain access to your credit scores from all three bureaus: Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. These three scores will give you a more accurate picture of your credit by offering you all three scores, which may be different for all three bureaus.

3-Bureau Credit Report

Through your IDEsssentials protection, you’ll also receive access to your credit reports with all three bureaus. This will help you pinpoint any errors or potential fraudulent activity on your report and easily dispute credit report errors.

3-Bureau Credit Monitoring

IDEssentials offers comprehensive protection by monitoring daily activity on your credit report from all three bureaus. You’ll also receive alerts should any significant changes be made. Monitoring all three credit reports will give you an accurate picture of your true credit history.

Black Market Scanning

IDEssentials regularly monitors the black market internet where thieves sell and purchase personal information. If IDEssentials discovers that your personal information has been compromised, they will alert you immediately. This can help stop identity thieves in their tracks before they have a chance to wreak havoc on your credit.

Fraud Alerts

If you’re concerned that someone may have stolen your identity, fraud alerts can help prevent thieves from using your information to open new credit accounts.

Less Junk Mail

Mint Credit Monitor will help remove your name from the marketing databases that most creditors and marketers use. As a result, you get less junk mail and pre-approved credit card offers. Once you sign up for an account, you should start seeing a reduction in junk mail within the first 30 days.

Access to Protection Specialists

Once your account is active, you’ll have access to Protection Specialists who offer help and support.

Facebook Privacy Monitor

With millions of people using Facebook every day, your personal information may be at risk if the right privacy settings are not in place. Mint Credit Monitor will check your Facebook privacy settings and profile continuously to determine whether or not your personal information is at risk.
