The Iris Resolution Specialist was very patient with me and explained the process very thoroughly. He gave me assurance in what to me was a very frightening situation.

Great service for someone looking to have extra protection against identity theft or unauthorized credit use. The website is well organized and easy to navigate. The interface and layout makes it very user friendly. Very competitive pricing compared to similar providers.

I was more than satisfied. There was an address discrepancy on my credit record. It was resolved in 15 mins if that. Whoever I talked to was very confident that he could help me. And I was treated very professional. Thank you.

I feel more confident that we're doing what we can to protect our identities. The representatives have always been courteous, professional and thorough in the dealings I've had with the company and have always been able to answer my questions.

Kind service, problem resolution, and patience. Two technicians helped me for about 45 minutes to resolve website and credit monitoring problems. Thanks for the help.

My home computer got hacked and all our personal info stolen. Eugene was very knowledgeable and helped me to resolve the situation. I feel safe, secure and relieved and can get a peaceful sleep.
