24/7 Emergency Toll-free Customer Service: Should you become a victim of identity theft, a specialist will be available to assist you right away.
Full-service Restoration†: A person can do everything right, and still become a victim of identity theft. If an identity theft occurs, we act quickly to ensure that the financial and emotional damage is kept to a minimum. Victims are assigned a Personal Recovery Advocate who manages their case from beginning to end. With the help of a Recovery Advocate, the time and stress associated with recovery are dramatically reduced.

Depending on the package you select, you are protected with up to $25,000 of Identity Theft coverage to cover expenses incurred in the recovery of a stolen identity…such as lost wages, legal fees, certified mail and long distance charges. Members who fall victim to identity theft receive a customized ID Theft Recovery Kit to assist in the process of restoring identity profiles and credit records.
