Published June 25, 2024

Identity theft is a prevalent concern in today’s digital age. With cybercriminals becoming increasingly sophisticated, safeguarding your identity is more crucial than ever. At Echard Insurance Agency, we understand the importance of protecting what matters most to you. That’s why we offer the Identity Fraud Expense Endorsement, providing comprehensive coverage for expenses incurred as a direct result of identity fraud.

What is Identity Fraud Expense Endorsement?

Our Identity Fraud Expense Endorsement is designed to mitigate the financial burden associated with identity theft. This coverage includes reimbursement for various expenses, such as:

  1. Document Reproduction and Notarization: We cover the costs for obtaining, reproducing, or notarizing affidavits and other pertinent documents required by law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, credit grantors, or credit agencies. These documents are essential for resolving identity theft issues and restoring your financial credibility.
  2. Loan Application Fees: If your loan application is rejected solely due to inaccurate credit information resulting from identity fraud, we reimburse the necessary and reasonable loan application fees for reapplying for a loan or loans. This ensures that you’re not financially penalized for circumstances beyond your control.
  3. Attorney Fees: In the event of identity theft-related legal challenges, we provide coverage for necessary and reasonable attorney fees. With our prior consent, these fees can include defending lawsuits brought against you by financial institutions, credit grantors, merchants, or their collection agencies. This support ensures that you have access to legal representation to safeguard your rights and financial interests.

Additionally, the Identity Fraud Expense Endorsement covers actual loss of earnings if you need to take time off work. You can get up to $250 per day, with a total limit of $5,000 for all insured individuals combined. This coverage applies if you need to:

  • Meet or talk with the police, banks, credit companies, credit agencies, stores, or lawyers
  • Obtain, copy, complete, or notarize documents required by the police, banks, credit companies, or credit agencies
