Q: Does TrustedID also cover legal costs which may occur during the restoration of your identity after ID theft?

A: Yes. TrustedID's identity theft protection service includes a $1,000,000 service warranty, which means that if your identity is stolen, TrustedID will cover many of the costs associated with restoring your identity, up to $1,000,000. This covers certain out of pocket expenses required to recover your identity, including legal fees incurred in the United States, for an attorney who has been approved by TrustedID in writing. TrustedID will also provide you with an on call protection specialist, to walk you though all the steps you need to take in order to prevent further damage to your credit.
