Credit Monitoring Service
Explanation:
A service that monitors credit card accounts for activity that is out of the ordinary. The card holder is then alerted when such activity happens.
Our Thoughts:
Credit monitoring services generally charge an annual fee. You can monitor your own credit by requesting a credit report from one of the three credit bureaus every four months; you are allowed one free report from each credit bureau every year, so request a report from a different agency on a four-month yearly cycle.
