It is a sad fact that identity theft is an increasing problem. Criminals collect details of deceased individuals and this information can potentially be used to obtain credit cards, loan agreements and other goods and services. This can have a devastating effect on grieving families.
Deceased Identity Protection is a service that collates details of deceased individuals and shares them with organisations including credit reference agencies and financial institutions. This information is used to check new credit applications and existing accounts to detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
In addition, your loved one will be removed from unsolicited mailings. It will not apply to official communications such as bank statements, bills, premium bonds, etc. However, by registering with us you can be assured that the majority of direct mail will be stopped, and your loved ones’ identity protected.
