Identity theft refers to a situation in which someone uses personal information concerning another person, usually to commit fraud. This may involve opening a bank account, applying for credit cards and loans, registering telephone subscriptions or ordering goods online in the victim’s name. When it comes to identity theft, among other things we can help you with the following:

  • Advice on how to reduce the risk of ID theft
  • Dealing with unfounded claims for payment
  • Removing incorrect records of non-payment

You will receive help from a lawyer who will analyse your situation. Among other things, this may include the following areas:

  • Family law: for example, prenuptial agreements, cohabitation agreements, division of property, custody disputes and estate inventories
  • Inheritance law: wills and inheritance issues
  • Consumer protection: disputes arising from the purchase of goods and services
  • Real estate: building permits, drawing up contracts with tradespeople for building work, etc.

Legal protection may, for example, cover reimbursement for the cost of legal representation, counterparty legal costs awarded against you and arbitration costs.

The first step is to engage the services of a legal representative, after which you or your representative may apply to us in writing for legal protection.

You can benefit from legal protection if, for example, you:

  • are party to a custody dispute;
  • are party to a dispute arising from a consumer purchase;
  • have an application for sickness benefit refused; or
  • are involved in a legal dispute with a neighbour
