There are group legal plans which do not understand communication. The vendors provide service at a distance, or through a page on a website. This may look efficient, but it is not. Communication is more important than this.

Quality Matters

A little extra should be part of the services. Anyone can easily forget a question or two, and getting back to the attorney is important. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services allows an unlimited number of telephone calls to the attorney in each situation. It means additional questions can be asked at another time. This ability to further communicate with the lawyer at no cost helps. Continue reading

Constant Vigilance is Needed to Stop Identity Theft

Identity theft is a sneaky business. We often think that if we have secure passwords and high protective walls around our information, we will be safe. It isn’t always true. A person may be in a busy downtown area using an ATM. That same person is an unsuspecting victim of the person standing right behind. This individual happens to be a thief who is looking over the shoulder of the person using the ATM, copying down their password. The same thing may happen at a point-of-sale location in a very busy store. Somebody is watching you, and they want your information.

They will get it and then use it. It will not be for opening a bogus credit card account. Cyber thieves know where the money is and it is in selling the passwords to someone else. That third-party is the one who is going to invade your credit account or your bank account. You will not know the damage until you receive your bill at the end of the month. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services is aware of identity theft. We have worked with companies developing group legal plans for years, and we heard horror stories about identity theft. It is why we offer services to help prevent a financial disaster. Continue reading

Hospital surgery is not something to be terrified about. Advances in technology, anesthesia, and necessary medical procedures make a trip to the hospital much safer than many years ago. However, there is still the chance something could go wrong. Failure to prepare can make it even worse.

The hospital is committed to keeping a person alive unless instructed to do otherwise. It means that life support systems maintain individual. It may not be what the patient wants, but if there is no authorization the life support continues indefinitely.

A reaction to anesthesia or a certain procedure could result in an individual becoming comatose That’s a dangerous situation if there are no instructions on what to do. A group legal plan that allows for medical powers of attorney is essential. Continue reading

Dealing with Agencies More Efficiently20111126_FNP001_0-300x168

Paper appears to define bureaucracy. There is so much for all types of activities and privileges. A person needs a license for fishing but also for various other things such as a driver’s license or a hunting license. You may need a building permit to put an addition onto your house or to build a new home, and they’re all kinds of applications for various things a person wants to do. All the paperwork can be both confusing and frustrating. Government clerks adhere to certain regulations. Anyone who misses a deadline or provides the wrong data can expect to go back to square one. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services wants to end the anxiety about dealing with government paperwork.

Countrywide Will Solve Them

People get frustrated with warranties. Everyone thinks that this piece of paper covers all repair work done to a product. It is not always the case. The language of the warranty is going to decide what is covered by the warranty and what is not. Warranties are written in legal language, and people get confused. A group legal plan that allows for attorney assistance is essential.

The terminology can vary from one product to another. For example, a bumper to bumper warranty, which ordinarily covers a new car for up to three years, is something that a car dealer is going to offer. A powertrain warranty is an additional protection which gives repair assistance for the transmission, the engine, and other parts that will last for as much is five years. However, a factory warranty has very specific limitations. A lawyer who gives pre- paid legal services can point out that damage caused by hail might not be covered. Continue reading

College Loans Can Be Trickyjar-edu-300x200

There are numerous programs intended to help college students deal with rising tuition. Stafford loans, Perkins loans, the PLUS program, and conventional loans from a bank are there to help service the debt. The trouble is that each program has its special requirements. A missed payment has a penalty, while another program can allow for some leniency. It gets confusing, and a graduate may unexpectedly step into a debt trap. The best way to protect financial wellness is to have excellent advice. Unfortunately, many vendors claim to be experts and really are not. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services wants to help with this dilemma. Our assistance comes from seasoned professionals.

Good Advice Gets ResultsCONSUMER-PROTECTION-LAW-278x300

“Let the Buyer Beware” is a major rule of the marketplace. It reminds people that there are unethical folks out there, looking to take an unsuspecting person’s cash. Things have gotten worse the last few years for the average American. Deceivers are getting more talented, and they are practicing their craft in other areas. It takes a good group legal plan to help protect the consumer from the damage.

The Internet sales are one area of clever deception. It is the only place, though. Services, as well as products, are danger areas. Example are home-improvement companies who charge one price, wait until the job is only half completed, and then demand more money. Being charged for services not rendered or online purchases that are never received by the buyer are other areas of consumer fraud. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has worked with organizations since 1987 to provide great group benefits. Consumer protection advice is one of the services we offer. Continue reading
