I checked all the Consumer Reviews and those two companies were neck and neck. There are four of those types of outfits that are all pretty equal but the top two are the ones I mentioned.
They're about $100-$250 a year, which is a bit painful, but they'll provide us with all the credit reports we need and will monitor our names, address, ssn, everything from here on out.
It can't undo the damage that's been done, but it will halt anything that happend from here on. There's $1,000,000 identity theft insurance included and all sorts of other benefits, too. It's a tremendous service and a real Godsend for us right now.
I can't thank you enough for just mentioning it, it's really gone miles toward putting us at ease.

Scott, hope this service works out for you. My wife (also a Lisa ) sounds as tenacious about banking records, paperwork, etc., as your Lisa. Her employer enrolled everyone in Experian

I don't know much about these kinds of services because up until now, we haven't felt the need to use one.
