ID Aware monitors your credit profile and alerts you to the risk of identity theft.
You may not realise, but identity fraud is one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK, with more than 77,000 cases reported* last year alone. You may also be surprised to know that on average, it can take 539 days before you discover you have become an identity fraud victim. Even then it can take you up to 300 hours work just to clear your name.
ID Aware helps you spot the early warning signs of identity theft. Your credit profile is continuously monitored on your behalf by leading credit reference agency, Callcredit, who will warn you of any significant changes so you can take action if you suspect fraud. We’ll also tell you monthly if there are no changes so you’ll know your credit profile is being monitored.
ID Aware gives you the tools and information to manage your credit profile and spot the early warning signs of identity theft:
- a credit monitoring service that sends timely text or email alerts when any credit is taken out in your name or your credit profile changes significantly
- unlimited access to your credit report online or by post whenever you request it
- a quarterly credit statement including a summary of activity on your credit profile and a report on your credit rating with tips on how to improve it
- access to a team of dedicated specialists who will take control if you’ve been a victim of fraud as well as the option to have a personal identity theft risk assessment.
