If I go on a trip with no internet, I lock all my brokerage accounts so no activity can occur by phone or by internet access until I call them to unlock the accounts.
I have purchase two cars while using Lifelock and neither time did it alert me someone was trying to obtain a car loan in my name..... I called LL and was told that not "every" creditor uses Lifelock.... So, for example, GM credit does not.... I find that mind blowing because that is why I use LL in the first place.

So, evidently, not every creditor reports to and or uses or maybe even by-passes LL..... not sure how that is possible but just to make sure I lock/freeze credit now.... was a bit of a PITA to un-do so we could buy house but it worked.....

Just a heads up. I still have a LL account but believe me... stuff gets by them!!!!!
