How does it work?
You enroll into the program during your application and coverage begins when your lease begins. Regular payments are made monthly using the bank information provided during your lease application.

When do I get charged?
The first charge occurs when you receive your goods and your lease starts. Recurring payments are charged monthly. You will be charged on the bank account that you provided during your lease application.
What will I be covered for?
The primary protections are for involuntary unemployment, accident & sickness, and protections for your family in loss-of-life.

How do I access my benefits? How do I file a claim?
You can access your benefits and file claims in the Protection Plus membership portal. You can find a link to the portal from the initial enrollment email or in your Koalafi account.
Do the lease payments covered by a claim have to be paid back later?
No. All lease payments covered by the program during your hardship do not have to be paid back.
Will filing a claim and receiving hardship payments adversely affect my credit?
Filing a claim and receiving hardship payments will not directly affect your credit. However, you must stay current on your lease obligations to prevent adverse impact to your credit.
Does this protect my loans?
No. This product is currently offered for lease-to-own protection only.
I have an existing lease, is that covered as well?
Yes. The protection program covers all new and existing leases. However, claims for coverage can only be filed for events that occur after enrollment. Enrollment occurs when the new lease is activated.
I changed my mind, can I get a refund?
We do not offer refunds for previous payments, however, you can cancel at any time.
Can I cancel later?
Yes. You can cancel at any time. Call Koalafi’s Customer Support team at 844.937.8275 or email Koalafi at customerservice@koalafi.com and request un-enrollment from Protection Plus.
Do I still have access to Protection Plus after I make my final lease payment?
