A Lionheart Assurance Solutions Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist (CITRMS) would be sure to tell you to remove your name and personal identifying information from junk mail lists. If you want to reduce your vulnerability to scams and identity theft, simply reduce the amount of your personal information that exists "out there" and bring your identity closer to home.

Consumer credit files contain personal and financial information about each of us, such as: our full name, date of birth, social security number, current address, previous addresses, telephone numbers, current and previous employers, certain non-account records such as bankruptcies, foreclosures, liens and judgments, felony convictions, and in some cases, types of medical and insurance-related information. Believe it or not, this is just a partial list of the kinds of personally identifying information that most people have circulating in national databases.

It has been estimated that as many as 70% of these records contain errors, and 25% of them are so serious that it will affect whether or not the consumer will be rejected for things like loans, insurance coverage or even employment.

Round-the-clock credit monitoring supplied by Lionheart Assurance Solutions' service providers gives clients the earliest detection possible. The Identity Theft Shield™ service looks for and detects the top 5 leading indicators of financial identity theft. But, what if your medical identity is stolen? Once again, the Identity Theft Shield™ service is the most comprehensive product in the industry and will assist the victim even if the breach is not financial. They call that the Just in Time, or Wall of Security.

That Wall of Security includes access to an attorney, because 80% of identity theft victims will require the services of an attorney as they begin that toilsome journey to restore their identity. So, once again justice prevails as Lionheart Assurance Solutions combines a Life Events Legal Plan™ with the Identity Theft Shield™ service in positioning the most comprehensive identity theft detection and restoration product in the industry. A huge added value is that a Licensed Fraud Investigator does most of the work for you in restoring your identity to a pre-theft condition.

Michael McCoy, nationally acclaimed co-author of, "The Silent Crime: What You Need to Know About Identity Theft" says that two-thirds of victims who discovered the misuse of their personal information within five months incurred no out-of-pocket expenses. That's what a credit monitoring service can do for you, it can't prevent identity theft, but it can greatly reduce its impact.

Lionheart Assurance Solutions, LP reminds us that public records are a treasure trove of information for scam artists and thieves. Don't leave your identity to chance, take control. Visit www.LionheartAssuranceSolutions.com today for more information.
