Did you know that one out of every twenty three adults over the age of 18 were victims of some sort of identity theft in 2006? That number will most likely not come down anytime soon. The good news is that there are some powerful things you can do to protect yourself against identity theft. Insurance companies are sending out flyers everyday telling people that they should purchase an identity theft policy. This article will teach you some ways to avoid identity theft and the need for this insurance.

Your best prevention against identity theft is to make your personal information unusable. Not by purchasing identity theft insurance. That is not to say that identity theft insurances are not legitimate. I'm sure there are many legitimate insurance policies out there, but you must deal with claims and many other headaches to file a claim.

If you have identity theft insurance and end up becoming a victim of identity theft then you would most likely be glad that you had purchased a policy. However it would be far better to guard your personal information all together.

There are a couple services that are especially good at keeping you safe from identity theft crime. You might think these services would be expensive, but they will usually cost you less than one hundred dollars per year. That is a very small amount to pay for such a powerful service.

If you simply want the added comfort of identity theft insurance there is nothing wrong with this as well. However, you may be able to subscribe to an identity theft service and then you would not need to bother with making any claims should you ever become a victim. With a good identity theft service no one can do anything with your personal information even if they were able to steal all your personal belongings including your social security card. That is a very comforting feeling.
