Prevention

Detection

Identity fraud is often accomplished by stealing personal information and applying for credit items with it. ID Protect helps fight this by keeping you informed on the state of your credit.

Credit File Monitoring – Upon registration and activation you will receive daily credit file monitoring and automated alerts of key changes to your Experian, Transunion, and Equifax credit reports. You can elect to receive email or text notifications whenever a change takes place.

3-in-1 Credit Reporting – Following registration and activation of your coverage you can review a NEW 3-in-1 credit report every 90 days or whenever you receive a credit file alert.

Total Identity Monitoring – We will continuously monitor over 1,000 databases for changes to your credit file or use of your personal information. Simply register and activate your coverage to be protected.

Correction

Debit and Credit Card Registration – By registering for ID Protect you also have the option to register all of your credit, debit, and ATM cards. You can rest easy knowing that in the event that your cards are lost or stolen you can make one toll-free phone call to cancel and request replacement cards – and your liability is limited.

Fully Managed Identity Theft Resolution Service – You are provided access to a dedicated consumer fraud specialist, who will be assigned specifically to your case, and will work with you until your credit and identity are completely restored.

Fraud Expense Reimbursement Coverage**** - Your expenses related to clearing your name and helping to repair your damaged credit are covered. This reimbursement covers not only attorney fees, long distance calls, and certified mail, but also lost wages as a result of taking time off work to resolve your identity theft case.

Fight Back!
