What are some ways to protect my identity without going through lifelock?

I have heard some pretty crazy things about lifelock and will not use them but I like the idea of being notified if someone tries to open up a credit card under my name. How can I do this myself? I checked out the Transunion website and you can get credit monitoring done where they will alert you if their are any major credit changes on any of your 3 reports for $15 a month. Has anyone done this? Do they contact you if someone is trying to get a credit card with your name? Please share your experiences and make some recommendations. I filled out a rental application yesterday and had to put my social security number on it, I get freaked out about that stuff. Thanks!

as far as the rental that is standard as they will pull a credit report to see if you pay your bills. Life lock isn’t the way to go since his identity has been stolen now 5 times I think. Place fraud alerts on your credit and that is about all you can do
