FAQS


When someone uses your personal information and/or identification documentation without your permission, with the intent to commit fraud, this is identity theft. Thieves can misuse your:

  • Name
  • Social Security number
  • Driver’s license information
  • Health insurance information
  • Tax return information

Criminals can access your information through data breaches, online hacking, credit card theft, mobile phone theft, and more. The thief then might use this information to open new credit cards in your name, sell your information on the Dark Web, steal your tax refunds, use your PIN numbers to access your confidential information or your money, and much more. Your credit can be seriously damaged through identity theft and your privacy significantly compromised.

Online predators realize that people can become complacent about passwords. So, create complex passwords, using different ones for each account; you can use password generation services to create passwords that are hard to guess. Change them regularly.

Also set up alerts with banks, credit card issuers and other accounts, asking to be notified whenever suspicious transactions occur. Monitor your credit reports regularly, and quickly address any discrepancies. You can also subscribe to identity theft protection services. U.S. Legal Services offers the comprehensive Identity Defender™ plan that protects your identity and provides you with key resources. As part of this plan, we’ll reimburse you for funds stolen through identity theft, up to $1 million, and provide you with identity theft insurance coverage of $1 million.

Here are two key reasons:

  • Identity theft is becoming increasingly more common; one 2017 data breach alone caused the identify of more than 145 million people to become vulnerable.
  • The impact of identity theft can be devastating, damaging your credit rating (which makes it more challenging to get a home loan, a car loan, or a credit card) and seriously compromising your privacy.

Once a thief steals your personal information, this data can be sold on the Dark Web, greatly expanding potential for harm.

Identity Defender™ provides 24/7 support from United States agents, and members have unlimited call access to the Identity Theft Restoration Member Services team. You’ll receive proactive, virtually real-time alerts whenever a copy of your credit report is requested, and the Dark Web is continuously monitored, scoured for mentions of your personal information. We’ll facilitate quick cancel-and-replace procedures for credit cards and more when your purse or wallet is stolen, reimburse you up to $1 million if funds are stolen due to identity theft, provide you with $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage, and much more.

Unfortunately, commercial truck drivers can be especially vulnerable to identity theft, in part because you’re often away from home, perhaps in unfamiliar territory. This means you might not know, for example, that an ATM in a certain city is known to be targeted by people with nefarious intent, and it also means that you may not be able to check bank statements for a matter of weeks while you’re on the road. Thieves can steal your tax return and/or health insurance information, as well, and you may not quickly be aware of that theft, compounding the damage.

We’ve created a checklist of ways that truck drivers can protect their identity and we encourage you to explore the many benefits you will receive with Identity Defender™.
