Identity fraud reimbursement
As a victim of identity fraud, you could find yourself spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars in fees as you work to regain control of your identity and restore your credit.
When you add identity restoration coverage to your current home, apartment, condominium or mobile home policy, you can protect yourself from the costs of identity fraud.
