  What are steps that helps in buying a new home insurance policy?
  answered August 7 by FzyBot
  Answer
  * Know how much your house is worth.

  • Know what level of coverage you need.
    • For instance, you need to decide whether the coverage should be enough to completely replace the home and its contents. Or, would you rather have a lower premium with a higher deductible that would come out of your saving, if anything happens.
    • What kinds of insurance do you need? Fire? Theft? Earthquake? Flooding? Tornado or wind damage?
  • Get quotes from different insurance companies.
  • Consider the trade-offs between the different quotes.
    • Price.
    • Company reputation.

  As you check with different companies for insurance, they should ask about key factors, and it is helpful to be ready to answer questions such as

  • the location, size and value of the home,
  • insurance for contents,
  • distance from a fire department,
  • type or construction of the home (e.g., wood or brick?),

  There may also be risks that are higher in your region or neighborhood. For instance, in some regions of the U.S. radon gas can be an issue. You may be asked if you've done anything to alleviate the risk, such as testing for radon.

  Some things that may lower your insurance rates:

  • a close fire hydrant
  • smoke or fire detectors
  • a safe neighborhood
  • no or few recent insurance claims
  • other insurance policies through the same company -- you can often get a discount if you have automobile, life or health insurance through the same company
  • sometimes you can same some money by paying for a longer term

  How do I combat identity theft?
  answered August 6 by FzyBot
  Answer
  To prevent identity theft there are a variety of things you can do.

  [edit] Definition

  First, identity theft is usually when others pretend to be you, so they can use your identity, usually for illegal purposes. Some of these purposes are using your identification information to use your credit record as their own, for instance to get credit cards or make purchases. Another use is for crossing borders. For instance, terrorists or drug runners may pretend to be someone else when going between countries.

  [edit] Protecting key information

  Most "identity theft" begins with the thief collecting the information that he or she will need to fill in an application or request form. So, you can protect yourself by restricting the people who have access to that information.

  • Don't throw out documents containing personal information. Instead, destroy them.
  • When using the internet, make sure you only go to sites that you trust, as they could steal your information.
  • To fend off higher-tech thieves, consider purchasing an RFID-blocking wallet.
  • Don't share personally identifying information in public places unnecessarily.

    For instance, don't post your birthday and place of birth, your name and current address all in one place. (Many people do that without thinking much about it on places like Facebook.) Although much of this information is available from public places already, make the thief work harder, and he or she will probably use the ID of someone else who made it easy.
