4.Inquire about the credit insurance policies being offered to you:
If you decide that credit insurance is for you it is important to know about the policy your are getting. You will want to ask about what is excluded in the policy. And remember that if you purchase a credit insurance policy that encompasses all 4 types of credit insurance (life, disability, unemployment, and property), make sure you are not paying for something you don’t need. For example, if you are not employed at the time of getting the unemployment insurance you are paying for a coverage that you will not use. Another example would be with credit life insurance. Some policies are limited to age restrictions and the credit insurance sales person will often not ask your age but instead just sign you up for the insurance. Make sure you research all the requirements carefully before accepting the policy.
5.Find out if you can easily cancel credit insurance:
As stated earlier, most credit insurance is on a beginning free trial basis. After the free trial is over you would need to decide if you would want to keep the policy or not. Unfortunately, after the free trial period it may become more difficult to cancel a credit insurance policy. In some cases it is hard to locate the correct phone number to cancel the policy. Contacting the credit card company may not be helpful either since they may not be sure what insurance company may have offered you the credit insurance.
If you do decide to purchase a credit insurance policy make sure when you are purchasing it you get all the information you would need in order to cancel it, and keep that information stored in a safe place with the accompanying credit card information.
