Identity Theft
Identity theft is on the rise! Criminals use stolen identities to apply for credit cards and loans, go on shopping sprees, rent apartments and even arrange mortgages. You can protect yourself by shredding all personal documents before you dispose of them, including blank credit card applications. If credit card or utility bills fail to arrive, contact the companies to ensure that they have not been redirected. Be particularly careful about sharing your Social Insurance Number, as it is key to your identity, especially in credit reports and computer databases.
You can purchase “Identity Theft” coverage at a nominal cost with most insurers. This protection helps to offset the expenses associated with restoring your credit if your identity has been compromised. Your account manager will be happy to provide you with more information about this very valuable coverage.
