This is a "legitimate" charge from a company that seems to be affiliated with various banks. The charge does seem to suddenly appear for no apparent reason though. I'm currently trying to get it removed for the second time. Must be some "opt-out" thing somewhere that I missed. https://www.myidentityassist.com/EN/Home/Index They offer service that might be of some use, but does not seem worth the $60 plus dollars a year they charge. The alerts and help they offer seem to be similar to what your bank would provide anyway. Unless you have a ton of credit cards to monitor perhaps?
Had the car for 3 years and never had this before.
Just received a charge on my CIBC Visa for MyIdentityAssist and I can't remember ever asking for that service. On further investigation I discovered that CIBC sold this service to the TD Bank a few years ago. I figure TD Bank billed my VISA with one of their "opt-out" services for which I had no notification I can recall. Not 100% sure but they did provide that phone number 1-877-738-5979 which I will be calling.
Did not order this
Have no idea who MyIdentityAssist is. Charge showed up onCIBC Classic Visa Card
Checked with TD as this was charged to my card yesterday. They knew nothing about it and are closing my card and replacing with a new account just to be safe. Attempted to reach the phone number associated with this charge and did not get through.
Just showed up on my statement for April TD Aeroplan statement. I called them (Myadintityassist) and they said I signed up in March 2007, received 3 years for free and they have been billing me every year since - but I have no recollection of ever signing up for anything like this nor paying any bill for it. Going to call TD...
MyIdentityAssist was a CIBC program that got transferred over to TD some number of years ago. I suspect anyone who signed up for a CIBC credit card or account got added to a customer database that went to TD. I'm guessing they applied the 3 years free to all customers and once expires they go ahead and bill you for another 3 years. Just call 1-877-738-5979, confirm your identify, and they will cancel and refund. Be warned, they will try to sell you on the service before completing the cancellation.
They charged me on my CIBC visa credit card for the amount of 10.34 for no reason. I didn't have any deal with them, this is ridiculous!
I cancelled this service years ago and it never cancellled it's still being taken from my acccount
An unexpected charge from an unknown source. Appears fraudulent.
I have not authorized this transaction!
tried ringing the number they provided but doesn't exist payment of 29.90 GBP taken from my card which I didn't authorise
My Canada CIBC credit card account was scammed for $59.95 on May 25, 2021 charge by My IdentityAssist. This charge needs to be credited back immediately.
I did a bit of research and it seems that ID Assist used to be Credit Alert.
No don't know source of charge
They took an £29.90 out of my account yesterday and no idea who this company is and how they managed to get my details to take money out off my account I never signed up for anything or this company trying to get a refund and a response as I've sent them an email the phone number is an American number
I received a charge on my Visa for My Identity Assist on my June/21 Visa statement. As far as I know, I didn't sign anything, or give an ok over the phone, for such a program. The charge was $62.95. I haven't tried calling the number associated with this. It sounds as if phoning the 877 # is futile. I may try CIBC and see what they offer as an explanation.
Same story, TD visa, just called TD. Card canceled, 10 days for investigation . Hope I’ll get my money back. Switched from CIBC to TD around 12 years ago.
Showed up on my Visa credit card as a charge , my bank does not recognize this and neither do i.
Still happening!!! had the same charge on TD visa. No dealing with this company. Called them and they say they work with TD and CIBC bank. I never signed up for this service. Now have to cancel CC card start investigation since VISA has no idea what this charge is. Joy fraud everywhere! check your statements folks. Many don’t look for small debits of 28$ so this company is scamming millions!
I did not sign up for this!
I never sign for this and what more I cannot cancel it It is pure fraud
A total fraud! I called to complain about this unauthorized charge & was told they had authorization but wouldn’t tell me by who. I was told by CIBC it was an “internal arm” & was unable to reverse/cancel the charge. This is now the 2nd time dealing with these crooks!
Sept 21 ,2022 got this bull!$^# scam my myidentityassist which i never ever signed up for tried calling visa to get it taken off my bill but they say they can't because it's insurance but I never signed up for it in the end cancelled my card and will get a new one if it come's out again I will cancel my card altogether and go to another Bank
This MYIDENTITYASSIST complete fraud that TD and CIBC is Responsible for!! But they wont admitt to it. Time to get a better bank??
I don’t remember signing up for this and it is the first time I’ve seen it on my credit card. Plan on doing further investigation.

A charge of C$28.19 has appeared on my latest CIBC Visa bill dated Nov 22nd 2022. I do not know what this is, and receive a busy signal when I telephone the number repeatedly.

it appeared on my credit card statement
no clue what this is - on TD VISA I'll call the fraud line
I received a charge on TD Visa for My Identity Assist on my last Visa statement. As far as I know, I didn't sign anything, or give an ok over the phone, for such a program. Plus, I do not use this Visa. I am going to replace the credit card.
I cannot get them to stop taking money. I am going to cancel cc card. I am not asking for money...I want them to stop helping themselves to mine. So difficult
my TD card just got charged unauthorized for My Identity assist for 62.95 and TD flagged it asking if I authorized it and I didnt but I didnt reply-thought it a scam —but wasn't when I spoke to the call center. Now trying to get it removed. TD Sending me a new credit crd.
