Free Garlik credit report
We’ve been watching the progress of Garlik over the past year or so with some interest. Garlik (set up by some ‘ex Eggies’) is responsible for DataPatrol, an online service that seeks to put the customer back in control of their personal data online – and we think it’s quite good.
Have a read of what they have to say for themselves – and sign-up for the FREE trial offer including a free credit report.
(They’ve also agreed to pay Zopa a small amount for each member that signs up – so what are you waiting for?)
How much is your identity worth to you?
In the last ten years, technology has changed our lives. People shop, date, bank and communicate online, but the same technological advancements have created fertile ground for criminals, who are taking advantage of the digital world to commit a range of crimes.
ID thieves are currently fleecing more than 100,000 Britons each year. And with the average person’s identity worth up to £85,000 to ID hackers this is a growing business. In fact, by 2010 over 200,000 Brits could be impacted annually.
DataPatrol – a new form of protection
DataPatrol is the world’s first service designed to counter this new type of threat to privacy, and is being launched to enable consumers to determine their vulnerability and take action to reduce their risk. DataPatrol uses revolutionary technology to monitor personal information about an individual on the web, and on key public records. It then provides a report and an intelligent assessment of how vulnerable the individual is to ID theft to provide early threat detection.

Thus far, I have to say that I am less than impressed. The much vaunted Data Patrol failed to pick up almost all of the publicly available data about me and an email sent pointing this out has so far gone unanswered expect for a robot message threatening to get back to me within two business days. Perhaps Garlik don’t actually work very often.
Given the nature of their product, building client trust is vital and thus far they ain’t doing it for me.
