How it works
Early warning of potential Identity Theft
The earlier you know about a potential identity theft, the more you can limit the damage to yourself. In partnership with Veda Advantage, New Zealand’s leading credit agency, CIGNA can now provide you with a very affordable weapon against identity theft. No-one else offers this kind of comprehensive, dedicated identity theft cover in New Zealand.
You will receive:
- a copy of your current Veda credit file, so you can check for any unauthorised activity and review your current credit score.
- credit check alerts, via email or post, each time an organisation completes any credit-related activity on your file. If you haven’t made the application yourself, you can quickly make it known an identity theft has occurred.
The right people will help restore your good name
If your identity is stolen, you’ll have New Zealand’s leading credit agency, Veda Advantage, on hand to assist you. They will:
- provide one easy point of contact, with just one 0800 number to call.
- help investigate identity fraud, which could also minimise any legal costs.
- rectify your Veda records and help to restore your credit worthiness.
We’ll also provide financial assistance
CIGNA Identity Theft Insurance will help with:
- payments to cover legal costs of up to $10,000.
- up to $600 to cover time-related costs, like taking time off work to talk to the police and financial institutions.
