If you live in Sumter County or Lake County, you can go onto their property appraisal website and register your name and an email address. Then, if there are any transactions using your name, they will send you an email message.

Actually, the Home Title Lock service is $19.95 per month. About the only thing they can do is to search your address on the county website to see who the recorded owner is for the property, which anyone can do in about a minute. What else do you think they are doing for your $19.95 per month?

Life Lock and Home Title Lock are different companies that offer different services. Life Lock monitors your identity, and Home Title Lock monitors the deed to your house. But, in my opinion, both services are a waste of money.

Why do you think life lock is a waste of money?

They charge you a monthly fee, but there is nothing specific that requires them to do anything at all. What evidence is there that they actually do something? The only thing they say on their website is that "We look for threats to your idenity." Really? Is there any independent study that proves that people who pay for LifeLock are less likely to have their identity stolen than people who don't?

They provide an insurance policy that is through a third party, but it seems to be way overpriced, with no real definition of any circumstances that would trigger a reimbursable claim. The whole product is too vague for me. Just my opinion.

I would think that if they did not help you get your life back in order would have heard customers complaning about uselessness.
