What You Need to Know
The credit scores provided are based on the VantageScore® 3.0 model. For three-bureau VantageScore credit scores, data from Equifax®, Experian®, and TransUnion® are used respectively. Any one-bureau VantageScore uses Equifax data. Third parties use many different types of credit scores and are likely to use a different type of credit score to assess your creditworthiness.
¹ If my Equifax or TransUnion credit report is locked, who can access it?
Entities that may still have access to your Equifax or TransUnion credit report include:
• Companies that provide you with a copy of your credit report or credit score, upon your request;
• Federal, state, and local government agencies and courts in certain circumstances;
• Companies using the information in connection with the underwriting of insurance, or for employment, tenant or background screening purposes;
• Companies that have a current account or relationship with you, and collection agencies acting on behalf of those whom you owe;
• Companies that authenticate a consumer's identity for purposes other than granting credit, or for investigating or preventing actual or potential fraud; and
• Companies that wish to make pre-approved offers of credit or insurance to you. You may opt out of pre-approved offers by visiting www.optoutprescreen.com;

Ratings and Reviews
Works, except half in my case
Glad it’s working. I have this through my employer benefit for my wife and me. I logged in to check my stuff, then I logged out to check my wife’s alert she sent me. I was told “this device is already registered to another account.” Ya, me… but “my wife needs to login from my phone.”
Can you help this security feature for families with associated accounts, please? I’ll give 5-stars afterwards.
Developer Response ,
We're glad you had a good experience, but we're sorry to hear about your wife's. Linking each device to your profile helps us better safeguard your identity. You can disconnect your device through account settings in your online portal -- then your wife can use the "is it not you?" link on the app to login. Our 24/7 support team is available at at (866) 513-1518 to help if you run into any issues.
Locked out and email to reset never comes
I managed to lock myself out, and their application to reset your password is like millions of other websites in that it sends you an email with info on resetting your password.
Only difference is the other 999,999 sites actually send you an email. This one does not.
It’s not in my spam folder and I routinely get emails from me warning of identification accidental releases. But this lame app can’t deliver a simple password reset email.
I refuse to call and surrender all my identifying information. I will simply move on to a better application.
Update****. Mail finally arrived the next day.
Has link to reset password. It takes you to a broken webpage. You put in a new valid password and answer an authentication question, and press reset. Unfortunately the page does NOT
- reset your password
- tell you why it can’t reset the password
- give me any indication the password was changed.
Somthing seriously wrong with this app that they can’t handle basic password.
Update **** ok I finally got a call from a company representative that actually knew what she was doing. She left me a detail voice telling me exactly what she had found and done. And she told me to try to log in again. Problem solved. Cynthia rocks!
Developer Response ,
We're glad our customer support team was able to assist you. We apologize for the app issues you experienced. User feedback like yours led us to rebuild the app entirely. The rebuilt version directly addresses the login issues reported by our users - including Face ID and reset password. We hope you'll try it again. Our team is available 24/7 at (866) 513-1518.
App not working
I’ve had many issues trying to log into the app lately. Call today and was told the app is not working for iPhones and the only way I can use the product is to go on through the website. The representative offered no solutions when I asked for an ETA of when the app was going to be fixed. He said no idea. Just use the website. This is the second time I’ve called about the app not working and it’s been over three weeks since the app has worked. You would think a company that is supposed to be a security company would have better updates and solutions. You would think that they would be able to fix her app in a timely manner. Very frustrating.
Developer Response ,
We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with our app. The rebuilt version directly addresses the login issues, including this hiccup from April 2024. We're confident you'll find it much improved. Please don't hesitate to contact our 24/7 support team at (866) 513-1518 if you have any further questions.
