-
A: Currently Identity Restoration is available only as part of a bundled offering — EZShield PRO® includes the two services in one.
Top of Page - Q: How will I be notified if my service is going to expire?
-
A: There is no notification that the service is expiring, however the Identity Restoration Pro service will be extended an additional year each time you purchase checks from Bradford Exchange Checks®. Assuming you order checks once a year, the service will be automatically extended. The $10.00 fee for a year of services will be charged each time the service is extended.
Top of Page - Q: What if I buy checks every 6 months?
-
A: Every time you purchase checks, the Identity Restoration Pro service is extended an additional year over whatever term of service you have remaining. So if you purchase checks 6 months from today, you'll get an additional year added, providing you two full years of the service (from today).

-
A: Only events that occur following your purchase of this service qualify for restoration assistance.
