Think again.
IDSafe Choice
Identity theft is consistently the number one complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. Rampant data breaches affecting millions of records, are putting consumers at great risk of identity theft. It can happen to anyone- regardless of your age, income, where you live, or how careful you are.
Restoring your identity on your own can be stressful and time-consuming. After a while, some people give up, leaving them to contend with the aftermath of identity theft for years to come, including fraudulent bills, collections activity, damaged credit and even criminal records.
First Community Credit Union has partnered with one of the nation's most trusted names in Identity Theft Protection to provide you with a comprehensive Identity Theft Research, Remediation and Recovery Service. As a checking accountholder, you are eligible, for the following services below at just $3 a month.
Fully Managed Identity Theft Research, Remediation, and Recovery
If you suspect identity theft, or if your personal information becomes compromised, we will assign you to a personal Recovery Advocate who will complete the recovery work on your behalf, report on progress along the way, and be there for you until your good name is restored — no matter how long it takes!
Based on the fraud incident, a Recovery Advocate will:
- Assist in placing fraud alerts at the three major credit bureaus
- Review your credit reports and other records to identify the extent of fraudulent activity
- Re-mediate fraudulent transactions, false accounts, and/or contracts signed
- Support law enforcement as they work to stop the criminal(s) using your identity
- Follow up with you for 12 months
Family Coverage
Fully Managed Identity Theft Recovery services automatically extend to cover three generations of your family (3G), including:
- Spouse or domestic partner
- Dependents under age 25 with the same permanent address
- IRS-qualified dependents
- Parents living with you or in elder care (nursing home, assisted living, or hospice)
All 3G family members are covered for a full 12 months after death as well — an important benefit as identity thieves target deceased individuals.
Lost Document Replacement
If important documents are lost or stolen, your Recovery Advocate will work for you to obtain replacements for the missing documentation.
Identity Theft Expense Reimbursement Insurance
If you have any expenses incurred during the recovery of your identity such as lost wages or attorney's fees, you will be reimbursed up to $10,000.1
