So … someone has been making interesting purchases with your credit card. Or someone opened a new loan in your name. That’s not good – and you now may be among the 50% of all U.S. citizens who have been a victim of some form of identity theft.

Sadly, your identity is at risk in countless ways every day – especially when you:
• Lose your wallet or personal data
• Have an unsecure smart phone or use poor online passwords
• Fall victim to a phone or email phishing scam
• Have your info stolen through a data breach of your favorite store, your doctor’s office, etc.
• Are victim of motor vehicle fraud, theft of medical insurance, or misuse of a social security number

Even sadder, unraveling ID fraud can take hundreds of hours for victims.

There is some good news with Theft Expense and Resolution Services Coverage from VYRD. For just $25 per year, a professional response team will take over and work with creditors, banks, and law enforcement to clear your name. Coverage includes a $25,000 limit for:

• Loan application fees (when applications are rejected due to compromised credit information)
• Legal fees (with prior company consent)
