The short answer
The registry records IdentityForce Identity Protection (TransUnion / Sontiq) as a possible interpretation of IDENTITYFORCE* EZSHIELD. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A statement entry showing IDENTITYFORCE* EZSHIELD corresponds to an identity theft monitoring and credit restoration membership provided by Sontiq, Inc., a subsidiary of TransUnion. Following corporate acquisitions, billing descriptors frequently combine legacy brand names, meaning charges appear as IDENTITYFORCE* EZSHIELD, SONTIQ*IDFORCE, or TRANSUNION SONTIQ on your bank or credit card statements.
Unreviewed registry note: These recurring transactions typically bill on a monthly schedule ranging from $17.95 to $23.95, reflecting ongoing identity protection services, social security number surveillance, and credit bureau alerts. If you recently transitioned from an employer-sponsored wellness benefit to a retail consumer plan, or if an introductory discount period ended, your card will automatically reflect standard monthly pricing.
Common reasons for this charge
Unreviewed registry note: Recurring billing is typically tied to active consumer plans or promotional rate expirations.
- Unreviewed registry note: A monthly or annual IdentityForce UltraSecure or UltraSecure+Credit subscription renewed.
- Unreviewed registry note: An employer-provided benefit transition converted to an employee-paid retail plan.
- Unreviewed registry note: An introductory discount ended after 12 months of service.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
