DEARBORN, Mich. — Lincoln Automotive Financial Services is offering its finance and lease customers complimentary credit-protection that includes 24/7 credit monitoring and alerts, unlimited access to their credit reports and score, lost wallet protection and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage with no deductible.
The package, which last for two years, depending on the client’s financing term, includes access to VantageScore, a credit score developed jointly by the three major national credit reporting companies. It also provides finance customers with unlimited access to the client’s TransUnion Credit Report, and a dedicated identity restoration specialist to help them restore their identities.
