Why can I no longer renew my Identity Protection policy?
Following a review of our business, we have sadly decided to withdraw our Identity Protection product from the market.
In 2012, CPP stopped selling Card and ID products to new customers, and since then has only supported existing customers who wished to renew. The business has significantly declined to a position where it will no longer be profitable to continue trading in the near future.
The Identity Protection product has now ended and your product has been closed. All products were honoured for their full 1-year term and allowed to run until their individual expiry dates throughout 2024.
Where can I purchase similar cover now that my product has closed?
You may be able to find similar cover with other insurance providers, for example by speaking to your home, motor or travel insurance providers, or by looking online at insurance comparison websites and credit monitoring websites.
For credit report access, you can approach credit reference agencies directly if you would like to see what services they have available to you. The three major credit reference agencies in the UK are Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
Can I continue with my Experian ID Plus service once my Identity Protection product has closed?
If you have registered for the Experian ID Plus service as part of your CPP Identity Protection product, then your access to this will end on your product cancellation date. Please contact Experian directly if you would like to see what services they have available to you after your CPP product has closed.
