The new PrivacyMatters.com offers easy accessibility to discounted credit reports and credit scores from the three business bureaus, credit monitoring alert service for PrivacyMatters members, plus a content rich credit learning center with credit and identity theft educational features available to every visitor.*

Part of PrivacyMatters.com’s redesign strategy was to improve the website’s consumer friendliness by making the visitor’s experience faster, easier and more productive. With identity theft cases rising and early credit management becoming more popular, easy usability is the core of PrivacyMatters.com and the PrivacyMatters line of products.

Consumers visiting PrivacyMatters.com have easy access to Free Triple Bureau Credit Reports and Triple Bureau Credit Scores in one simple report; credit, identity, and security products; and key information to help them protect their credit and prevent identity theft.

Privacy Matters 1-2-3 assists members in managing their credit profile by providing unlimited access to their 3-in-1 credit report and credit scores. Members are automatically enrolled in a credit monitoring protection program that provides daily updates to changes on their credit file. The product also offers members-only discounts on a variety of products and services.

Credit card debt and identity theft are becoming a national concern. According to a Federal Reserve report, the proportion of families carrying a credit card balance rose from 4.4% in 2001 to 46.2% in 2004, an increase of 1.8 percentage points. Another report by the Federal Trade Commission reported that for five years in a row identity theft topped the list of consumer complaints in 2005, with identity theft accounting for over 37 percent of all complaints lodged in the FTC Consumer Sentinel database.
