What is Identity Theft and why should you insure against Identity Theft?

• Identity theft is a criminal offence that occurs when someone uses your personal information without your knowledge to commit fraud. Someone can steal your identity by using your name, PPS number, credit card number(s), driver's licence number, bank account number(s) or any other piece of your personal information for fraudulent use.
• Identity theft thieves may open a new credit card account by using your name and date of birth. They may also call your credit card issuer and change the mailing address on your account, preventing you from seeing the fraudulent charges. Similarly, identity theft thieves may open a bank account in your name and write bad cheques, or establish services in your name, such as mobile phone accounts. But worse still, if the theft goes unnoticed, it can prevent a person from getting credit, employment or even result in court proceedings.These fraudulent accounts register on your credit report, and the burden is on you to challenge the fraudulent activity and restore your good name.
• With Identity Theft Insurance, it’s easier than you think to insure and protect your personal identity from the growing risk of fraud and to take action should you become a victim.
