FENTON, Mo. – GAPWise LLC has partnered with Worldwide Benefit Services, Worldwide Assistance Services Inc., TransUnion and AffinityCare LLC to provide I.D. THEFTWiseSM, a life-of-loan identity theft restoration program.

The I.D. THEFTWiseSM membership plan provides an emergency call center to report identity theft 24/7.

"I.D. THEFTWiseSM focuses on the restoration of a stolen identity,” said Jack Ellis, Vice President Sales and Marketing for GAPWise LLC. "Our membership plan also includes many far reaching services such as emergency cash advances, access to a national network of behavioral specialists to deal with identity theft victim emotional trauma and legal document review.”
