This type of service can also be a con and the insurance company gets a huge kick back.

My mom got me one because I went to a private high school and needed to have access to money for events and such. It helped establish my credit history at an early age and so my credit was much better than my husband's who only got his first card at 19. Plus it teaches children responsible ways to use money. For example, I learned very early on to never carry a balance and I had money discussions with my parents, whereas my husband never talked money with his parents and he didn't learn much about it until I made him see the error in his ways : ) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904232416425764887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-62654794158829598012015-03-31T09:33:40.526-04:002015-03-31T09:33:40.526-04:00You should be able to put a freeze on their credit...You should be able to put a freeze on their credit as well. You can do this through any of the three major bureaus. <br /><br />I don't see a reason not to use the service though, if it is free. A lady I work with tried to file her taxes and they were rejected because her social had been used as a dependent on someones return already. I don't think credit monitoring would have prevented this, but may help prevent other things.

I did it for my oldest. I'm not sure whether kids will have a credit report just because they have insurance. I got this letter, too, by the way.<br /><br />I think I read that fewer people are paying for credit monitoring service since it's starting to become available free through so many creditors. Kids don't have creditors, of course, but I'm sure you can get free reports for them once in a while.444https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317761558076527630noreply@blogger.com
