PIPL.com – The most comprehensive people search on the web

PIPL.com

PIPL.com

So I didn’t get very creative with the title for this blog post.  It is straight from the PIPL.com web site.  Not a problem since the statement is true!  PIPL.com is an information aggregator that pulls data about people from multiple data sources and is the most comprehensive people search I have seen on the internet.  I learned about this site from a client of mine, Jenny Redix with The Henning Law Firm.  Jenny uses this tool to do research on their defendants and plaintiffs.  I couldn’t believe some of the things that were found when I searched for my own name.

We all know that it is a good idea to keep track of our credit rating.  Unfortunately, it often becomes one of those things you will get to later instead of staying on top of it.  I fixed that problem for myself about a year ago when I signed up for IdentityGuard.com.  I wish I could say that it was because I was being proactive, but it was in response to one of my credit card numbers getting out somehow and being used at online merchants.  (My credit card company called to let me know about the unusual activity on my account, so thankfully the problem was caught before affecting me.)

Identity Guard is a service that monitors credit activity with Equifax, Experian and Transunion.  I receive an email alert any time there is new activity on any 3 of these services.  One nice thing about this is that you can always see what your credit rating is as reported by these 3 services.
