What is a Public Information Profile?

 
A Public Information Profile (PIP) is a detailed summary of the vast quantity of information available to others about you. MyPublicInfo sifts through more than 10 billion records to verify your identity and build your PIP. These records include:

Federal, State and County records

Financial records like bankruptcies, liens and judgments

Property ownership records, including one billion acres of satellite and aerial photos

Government-issued and other licenses

Law enforcement records on felony and misdemeanor convictions

UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) records that reveal the availability of assets for attachment or seizure, and the financial relationship between an individual and other entities.

MPI then assembles all this information into a single, easy-to-read document.

 
 

Who needs a PIP?

 
Everyone needs a PIP for:

Protecting Yourself or Recovering From Identity Theft -
If you are worried about this epidemic crime, a review of public records can help you determine if "all is well" and bring peace of mind.
If you have already been a victim, you MUST learn what is in your public record in order to determine the full extent of the damage and the thief's activities.

Job Interviews - Will potential employers do a background check? Do you want to know what they can learn about you? Do you want to ensure your background information is accurate?

Protecting Your Privacy Rights - Are you concerned about the "Patriot Act," and how new federal regulations allow the government to collect more and more information about you?

"Family" Issues - Have you been through a difficult divorce or breakup? Does your "ex" or other problem family member have access to your car, your credit cards, or your personal information?

Misdemeanor Offenses: Anyone who has been convicted of anything, even a minor misdemeanor, needs to check their public records. Also, you can determine if someone else has impersonated you to law enforcement resulting in erroneous records.

 
 

I have my credit report, do I still need a PIP?

 
Yes. Credit reports only give you the information that banks, creditors, and credit card companies have about you. Examining your credit report may tell you if someone has made unauthorized use of your credit card, or has applied for a credit card in your name. However...

Credit reports cannot tell you if someone has rented or purchased property using your name, applied for a government-issued license using your name, has acquired a criminal record using your name, and many other potentially adverse kinds of information.

In addition, a credit report cannot help you learn about and correct errors in your public information, whether caused by confusion of similar names or deliberate actions of unscrupulous individuals. You need a PIP to do this!

 
 

Can other people get my PIP?

 
No. MyPublicInfo uses proprietary technology to identify you, and only you, before releasing any information. Your information cannot be accessed without passing a test that requires intimate knowledge of your personal information.

This proprietary process requires you to pass two sets of quizzes.

Phase 1 is general information like name, address, phone number and social security number. If this quiz is passed, the MyPublicInfo technology concludes that there is a high likelihood you are who you say you are, and advances you to Phase 2.

Phase 2 is a 5-question quiz that checks your knowledge of "out of wallet" data. If your wallet is lost or stolen, the possessor could potentially pass Phase 1, but Phase 2 deals with information that only you know. This may include data like residence address in 1982, the amount of your monthly mortgage, your auto insurer or the monthly payment on your student loan. Questions are generated randomly, and the likelihood of an identity thief knowing all the answers is exceptionally low. If you answer all questions correctly, our technology has extremely high confidence that you are who you say you are.

This proprietary process assures you of complete confidence in gaining access to your public data.

 
 

How does a PIP help fight identity theft?

 
Your PIP enables you to check both the data itself (did you ever rent an apartment in the state of California, for example) and the accuracy of the data (if you are Roger M. Smith, is a criminal charge involving a different Roger Smith on your record?).
Your PIP enables you to find out if someone has purchased or transferred property in your name, taken out insurance policies in your name, declared bankruptcy in your name, or any of the hundreds of ways identity thieves can destroy your good name. Your PIP allows you to proactively manage your identity by serving as an early warning system.
 
 

How do I know that my personal and credit card information will not be accessed?

 
MyPublicInfo's top priority is to assure you, our customers, that your sensitive personal information will remain safe. We use the strongest security available, with unsurpassed triple certification by VeriSign, HACKER SAFE®, and BBBOnline®.
