Credit monitoring watches your credit reports and alerts you when something changes — for example, a new account, a new inquiry, or a change to an existing account. It does not fix errors or remove items on its own, and it does not change your credit score. What it can do is help you spot changes sooner, so you can check them and act while the details are still fresh.

What to look for in a provider

Not every monitoring service watches the same things, so it helps to compare what is actually included before you choose one. Here are the features worth checking:

• Coverage of all three bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A service that watches only one bureau may miss changes reported to the others.
• Alerts: timely notices when there is a change to a monitored report, so you can review it promptly.
• Identity theft protection: tools and support that help you respond if your personal information is misused.
• Score tracking: regular access to your credit score and report information, so you can see how your file changes over time.

Before you sign up, also check the price, what is included at that price, how alerts are delivered, and how you can cancel. A provider should be clear about what it does and does not do — and about what it costs.

Credit monitoring and credit repair are different services

Monitoring watches for changes. Repair is the separate work of reviewing your reports, identifying items that appear inaccurate or incomplete, and disputing them in writing with the bureaus and the companies reporting them. Monitoring can help you notice a change; it does not dispute it for you.

Credit Works Pro repair plans

Credit Works Pro's repair plans are priced by how many bureaus are covered: Bronze $69.95/mo (1 bureau), Flex $89.00/mo (2 bureaus), and All Three Pro $125.90/mo (all 3 bureaus). Each plan adds a $25/mo audit fee. Credit monitoring is a separate charge.

No specific score outcome can be promised — results depend on your individual file, and any provider that guarantees a particular score should be treated with caution.
