Identity Theft is Major Business
If you want a better understanding of how serious identity theft is, the recent news about the computer hacking at J.P. Morgan Chase should be a real eye-opener. A gang of cyber hackers broke through the security walls of not only J.P. Morgan, but of several other financial service companies and media outlets. The personal information of tens of millions of consumers were exposed to theft and fraud. A group legal plan can effectively help an individual if it has identity theft and credit monitoring.
The Enormity of It
The image of a solitary hacker breaking into a personal account and then setting up a bogus credit card is outdated. Hacking has become very sophisticated as a crime. The original hacker does not set up accounts but sells information. It means that if your financial data is compromised, it could be sold to a number of buyers. Before you know it, there are fake credit cards established all over place with your information. It can take months if not years to get things corrected. Group legal services that provide a real benefit of ones that help prevent identity theft from becoming destructive. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services offers a group legal plan that provides for identity theft prevention and credit monitoring.
Options to Consider
Early warning is one of the best ways to stop identity theft from becoming a personal financial crisis. Countrywide offers the Platinum ID Protector Plan, and the Premier ID Protector Plan. Each of these group legal plan benefits includes credit reports from three credit monitoring bureaus (Experian™, Equifax, and TransUnion™). A plan member knows almost immediately if there’s any sudden and substantial purchases on the credit cards. Countrywide does not stop there when it comes to offering these group legal services to people.
Restoring financial integrity after an identity theft can be a legal nightmare. It can require a person having to get notarized affidavits, filing with various agencies, and getting legal advice to help in the emergency. Both Countrywide plans have an identity theft insurance policy of $25,000. It can help defray the legal costs and other expenses. A person is able to restore his or her accounts, and prevent fraudulent accounts from being created. These two plans offer the kind of group legal services benefit that matter to consumers.
