Why Don’t People Call Attorneys

They are intimidated by lawyers. They don’t know who to call. They believe it would cost too much.

The Main Reasons People Don’t Seek Legal Counsel:

The Most Common Responses to a Legal Dispute Are to:

Ignore the problem Try to handle it personally

Five Common Types of Identity Theft

Identity Theft is not just about credit cards! Identity theft is an international crime and access to an attorney may be critical.

Drivers License

Medical FinancialSocial Security

Character/ Criminal

Page 20: Buisness Brief

Credit Report and Continuous Monitoring You will receive an up-to-date credit report

through Experian at no additional charge with your membership.

Your credit files will be regularly monitored. Suspicious activity will be brought to your attention, providing you with early detection.

You’ll receive prompt notice if any new accounts are opened in your name...

or if derogatory notations are added to your credit report.

Page 21: Buisness Brief

Restoration ServicesIf your identity is stolen, you need more than just information about how to restore your name and credit rating. As an Identity Theft ShieldSM member you can rest easy knowing experienced professionals are working for you!

Fraud alert notifications will be sent on your behalf and applicable follow up will be done with affected agencies and institutions.

Proactive searches of applicable local and national databases will be made on your behalf to look for information you may not have known about.

Identity Restoration will not apply if the identity theft is the result of a dishonest, criminal, malicious, or fraudulent act you, your spouse, or your child participated in, directed, or had knowledge of. Restoration services will not be provided for a known stolen identity event that occurred prior to enrollment date. You must be an active member to receive restoration services. Services provided do not cover financial losses arising from the identity theft. A signed limited power of attorney must be provided to Kroll when an Identity Theft Restoration case is opened in order for Kroll to work on your behalf and/or provide the Proactive Database Searches listed. A stolen identity event does not include the theft or unauthorized or illegal use of your business name, d/b/a, or any other method of identifying your business activity.

Page 22: Buisness Brief

Safeguard for Minors• Children under the age of 18 have a much higher risk of

identity theft than is commonly realized. Thieves target them because the child’s information may be used for years without discovery … until the minor is old enough to establish credit.

• Education, early detection, and expert consultation make for a powerful package of tools to minimize this risk.

• Up to four minor children can be enrolled for monitoring to detect existing credit files and it will cost the member only $1 more per month per family.

• All dependent children up to 18 are covered for consultation and restoration.

Page 23: Buisness Brief

How Much Will Peaceof Mind Cost?

With the Pre-Paid Legal Life Events Legal Plan you will receive all these benefits for just $26 or less per month! And the Identity Theft Shield can be added for an additional $9.95 per month.

That’s less than the price of a bottle of water a day.
