Credit Counseling and Education
With a dual plan membership of LegalShield and IDShield, you now receive the bonus benefit of Credit Counseling & Education. With this new benefit you will get advice on managing your finances to maintain or develop healthy credit. In addition, your LegalShield provider law firm will now advocate for you in the complicated world of credit matters, including sending a letter to the credit bureaus on your behalf when a bona fide error is found. These benefits are only available to those who purchase the LegalShield and IDShield plan together. The New Dual LegalShield and IDShield Plan will give you peace of mind with full-service support for all of your credit related matters.
With this full-service credit approach, we review your expenditures to help you identify unnecessary spending habits that could negatively affect your credit. We look at your expenses to help determine if you are paying for services you don’t need. If you already subscribe to Netflix and Hulu, do you really need that third streaming service subscription? Are you paying for the premium phone plan when a cheaper tier will do? By analyzing your payments, we can help you trim the fat that could lead to a bad credit.
