ERIE’s Identity Recovery Hotline

If you’ve been a victim of identity theft or fraud and you have ERIE’s Identity Recovery Coverage, call 1-866-ERIENOW to file a claim.

Opt-Out Options

One way to protect yourself from identity theft is to opt-out of mailings, e-mails and telephone offers.

Call 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688) to opt-out of receiving pre-screened credit card offers. All three major credit bureaus use this same toll free number.
