Upon subscribing, TDS Identity Protection-Child powered by Debix (a leader in identity theft protection) searches thousands of public databases (including all three national credit bureaus, criminal and bankruptcy records, utility service records and more) to determine if someone is using your child's Social Security number. If a problem is identified with credit, criminal, medical, or employment records, you are notified immediately and a full-scale investigation is launched.
After the initial search, you'll be alerted (via secure phone call) anytime there is an attempt to use your child's credit. Unauthorized attempts will be subject to immediate fraud investigation.
