The Warranty Group: Effective Solutions for Today's Problems

Identity Theft
Identity theft is an ever growing menace that can be devastating to those affected by it. No-one is immune.

Imagine picking up your post today and finding a credit card bill for a card you don't have, or a loan repayment notice for a purchase you did not make. You ring up the company concerned to tell them they must have made a mistake. But there is no mistake. The purchase has been made in your name, and they believe you are responsible for payment. You could refuse to pay, but then your credit rating will be adversely affected, which could prevent you from getting any future loan, credit card or mortgage. And the next day you receive another bill, then another.

The nightmare continues until you are able to prove that you have been the victim of an identity fraud. But where do you start? According to CIFAS*, the UK's Fraud Prevention Service, repairing the damage caused by identity fraud can take the victim as long as 400 hours and cost up to £8,000 before things are back to normal.

Fortunately, The Warranty Group has a range of products that can help people at risk of identity theft. These include comprehensive prevention and monitoring services, plus advice, support and up to £50,000 of cover should a theft occur.

The ever increasing publicity surrounding identity theft means that customers are increasingly aware of this problem and the impact it can have. Offering a branded solution not only provides peace of mind for your customers - it can greatly enhance brand perception too, and need not be expensive.
