Identity theft is a serious crime, affecting about 9 million Americans each year. While identity theft insurance can’t prevent the crime from happening, it can minimize your losses and help you regain your good name after identity fraud.
Identity theft occurs when your personal information, such as your name, credit card number, or Social Security number, is stolen and used without your permission.
It also takes many forms – as thieves may use your identity to open a new credit card or charge up an existing one, steal from your bank account, take out a loan, or even rent an apartment. You may not even realize your identity has been stolen – at least not until you review your credit card statement and notice unfamiliar charges – or until you’re contacted by a debt collector.
Identity theft insurance from The Hartford is an optional coverage you can add to your existing Hartford homeowners, condo, or renters insurance policy.
The Hartford will pay up to $15,000 for expenses, such as lost income and legal fees, incurred to regain your good name as the direct result of identity fraud.
