Wells Fargo enhances its Identity Theft Protection

As Wells Fargo unveiled on Friday, Enhanced Identity Theft Protection, providing customers with an easy way to monitor their credit and check for inaccuracies that may indicate identity theft, is now available.

As the Wells Fargo representative announced, the company has expanded and enhanced the service in response to customer demand.

The improved version of the current Identity Theft Protection service represents an enhanced service that delivers monthly triple credit bureau reports and scores, online calculators, credit score tracker and credit score alerts. The extended version is available through Wells Fargo Insurance and provided by Trilegiant Corporation.

The new version offers a variety of tools to help customers manage credit, including an online "Credit Score Simulator" that lets customers see how a credit score changes if they decide to reduce debt on mortgages or credit cards, refinance a loan, apply for a credit card or consolidate debt into a new account.

Customers' solid interest in protecting against identity theft is one example of a broader concern-managing credit and finances in a turbulent economy, as said Robert Dudacek, Wells Fargo Insurance Direct Response Group Manager.

The Enhanced Identity Theft Protection service is available now and customers can receive their credit report and score online in seconds.
