One of the main differences between Trusted ID and LifeLock is the way they handle an actual identity theft.

TrustedID will give you a kit with plenty of info and helpful articles. They have a toll-free number to call for assistance. But it’s up to you to do the work. Their million dollar warranty will reimburse you for any out of pocket expenses like legal fees, extra credit reports, long distance phone calls, etc. It also covers your lost wages up to $5,000.

LifeLock has $1 million total service guarantee. This means they will do the work for you. If your Identity is stolen while you are a member of LifeLock, they’ll do whatever it takes to recover your good name. If you need lawyers, they’ll hire the best they can find. If you need investigators, accountants, case managers, whatever, they’re yours. If you lose money as a result of the theft, LifeLock will give it back to you.
