If your name is on those missing disks, should you take advantage of TransUnion's free ID protection offer?

Yes because it can block others' access to your credit information and let you know if someone has opened new accounts in your name. It also offers you 25,000 dollars in [ID] theft insurance. The details come in the mail after you sign up.

Dave, did you sign up for the credit program? Do you think it is a good idea to sign up? I have people calling me wondering what to do.
