Credit Monitoring while rebuilding

Not sure if this has been asked yet or not, I couldn't find it. If it has, please point me in that direction.

What is the best product or combo of products to use for monitoring while rebuilding? I think it would be best to have something that monitors reports and FICO scores and emails or text messages for changes for all 3 bureaus. I know you can only get the FICO score for two, but maybe something along these lines. I would like an updated score and report each time something big changes, or is this too much? Does anything provide monitoring for when something is deleted?

Unfortunately what you are looking for doesn't really exist -- although you could probably combo something. I use EliminateIDTheft.com -- 17 dollars and I get pulls from all three bureaus daily.

 

You really should go to this thread:

It has all the info you could possibly need about all the services...

+1 USAA is Experian's service, even the product looks similar, but cheaper and does all 3 for $12.95 .. can't beat it ...

If you've been a member of USAA CCMP for 6 months or more, call them (1-866-751-1320) and ask for a discount, they'll usually reduce the premium from $12.95/mo. to $6.12/mo. for a year. Be nice though.

True Credit.  They provide FAKO scores but they are cheap, show date reported and good alerts.

I will say; although I switched to EliminateIDTheft because of its three report daily pulls, I used True Credit for over 3 years, no complaints. Thought it was great.
