People make decisions every day, each one potentially leading you down a path toward something good, bad, or neutral. Life is a constant chain of events with no true predictable outcome. That is why it is always safer to go through life prepared. You may not ever need to use your plans, but the fact remains that without a plan, any sudden life changing event could potentially sweep you and your family off your feet, leaving you with no way to deal with the problem.
This is what insurance is for. Without insurance, you end up paying the full amount on all car accidents, hospital visits, dentist visits, and a multitude of other things that insurance could potentially pay for. One type of insurance that people often miss is credit insurance. Things like unemployment, disabilities, and death could happen at any time, as frightening as that is to think of. These types of insurance pay for certain types of debt that you owe in the case that something should happen to you. If you have a credit card, one or all of these insurance types may be available to you.
- Life Credit Insurance. This kind of credit insurance will repay any debt that you own at the time of your death. When applying you will list a beneficiary and this will be the credit card company that you owe the money to.
- Disability Credit Insurance. Should you become disabled in any way, this form of credit insurance will make the minimum monthly payment on your credit card bills for you. This will help keep your credit score in good standing until you are able to pay on your own again.
- Unemployment Credit Insurance. When you become unemployed because of an illness, accident, or for other reasons beyond your control (such as a company downsizing or abrupt layoff), this type of credit insurance will pay the monthly minimum on your credit card. However, do not make too many purchases after your unemployment, as the insurance does not often cover expenses after the point of your unemployment.
- Property Credit Insurance. Depending upon your policy's stipulations, when items you buy with your credit card are damaged beyond repair, the debt you owe on that item can be canceled out. But make sure to check your policy to know what is covered.
Now that you know what types there are, you should be aware of how to apply for credit insurance. Certain financial companies work together with insurance companies in order to agree upon terms that they will then offer to the customer. When you apply, be sure to pay close attention to all the policy terms so you know when your credit insurance is active, as well as what sort of terms are not included. Things such as pregnancy, cosmetic surgery, or deliberate injuries (drug abuse included) do not count. Requesting unemployment credit insurance does not apply when you are working seasonally, you are fired for viable reasons, or have voluntarily quit.
There are many benefits to having credit insurance because there are many options, both in the type of insurance and the coverage they can offer. Loans that are personal or for a small business can be covered, and credit lines and bankcards are also covered. Here are a few examples of ways credit insurance can help both you and your family.
- In the case that you still owe $5,000 at the time of your death, your credit insurance can pay off this entire amount instead of your family or your life insurance.
- Your account can also be completely paid off should you have a severe injury such as losing a limb, eyesight, hearing, or if you should be diagnosed with a terminal illness.
- If you must leave work for serious reasons such as caring for an ill relative, you have just had a baby and must take time off to care for it, or if you have returned to military duty, unemployment credit insurance can help cover the debt you owe during these times.
Credit insurance can make for a great option, but you are the only person who can truly decide if you need it or not. Depending upon your current place in life and your financial situation, you may not even have a large amount of debt to worry about, in which case credit insurance would not be necessary. If you find that you do have personal loans you would need to be paid off or a large credit card debt you do not want left behind for others, credit insurance may be a good choice. Do come research and compare offers before settling on a credit insurance specific to your needs.
