Identity Theft Solution

Identity theft is the fastest growing financial crime in America - striking thousands of victims each year. In a matter of seconds, your personal information such as a social security number, a credit card number and/or an address can be stolen and used to obtain a new mortgage, a line of credit or additional credit cards.

You may never know that your identity has been stolen until unauthorized transactions appear on credit card statements, collection notices appear in the mail or loan applications are declined. In a short period of time, extensive damage can be done as a result of a stolen identity event.

Restoring one’s name and good credit is a time-consuming and expensive process. On average, it takes six months to detect identity theft and approximately 200 hours to recover from the crime. Victims must endure a number of costly steps to dispute fraudulent debts and accounts opened by an identity thief.

Zurvita Protection family plan covers the member, their spouse, domestic partner or significant other, any children between the ages of 18 and 25, and any dependents living with, and dependent upon, the member such as a parent or grandparent.

Unlimited Legal Care at Discounted Rates

With this program, identity theft victims can defend themselves against crimes committed by an identity thief. Beyond the $25,000 worth of identity theft coverage, our network of Plan attorneys have contracted to never charge more than $125.00 per hour, or when appropriate, give members a 40% discount off their usual and customary hourly rate, for all extended legal care.

Members may use our program to prosecute identity theft thieves. This is the only identity theft program in the country that provides unlimited discounted legal care, enabling members to both defend themselves against a theft, and prosecute thieves.

Capped Hourly Rate

Legal Club plan attorneys contract to never charge more than $125.00 per hour, or when appropriate, give members a 40% discount off their usual and customary hourly rate, for legal care that goes beyond the free and discounted services. This is where tremendous savings are realized. After the free letters, calls and consultations take place, members and their attorneys will decide what course of action to take next. In most cases, members will have no choice and litigation may ensue. This is the point in time that Legal Club plan attorneys charge the reduced hourly rate for legal care. The savings with Legal Club will be thousands of dollars.

Retainers

In the case of extended legal care, plan attorneys may ask you for a retainer. Any retainer sought will be computed by multiplying the number of hours a plan attorney believes a case will take, by the appropriate discounted hourly plan rate. For instance; 10 hours x $125.00 = a retainer of $1,250.00. Any unused portion of the retainer will be returned to you.

Contingency Fee Discounts

The contingency fee discount will be a 10% reduction of the state maximum rate or the attorney’s usual rate, whichever is lower.

Law Areas Included

Legal Club does not exclude any type of law area. Many legal expense insurance products have waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions and limitations on usage. This is due to the fact that they have financial exposure to usage, just the same as an HMO. As such, many types of law areas are excluded in their plans. Legal Club has no exposure and, therefore, takes the opposite approach and encourages usage. In fact, 80% of all new members use the legal plan within the first 90 days after they join.
