I believe to indemnify means to hold harmless in the event of a problem.
Actually almost the opposite...it means you will be responsible for and pay for the damages or hurt/costs suffered. It normally is used with the above though to become something like "I will hold you harmless and indemnify you for any loss because of...."
Under the NAFTA agreement, the US government indemnifies part of any private investment in Mexico. You should normally not buy land unless a title insurance company indemnifies you against potential liens by heirs.
The indemnitor is the person or entity that indemnifies you. Indemnify, in common terms, means to put you back to where you were before the covered event occured.
A contract which indemnifies an employer for losses caused by dishonest or fraudulent acts of employees.

Since Indemnity basically means - protection against future loss, credit insurance indemnity is almost like saying credit insurance insurance or credit indemnity indemnity. The meaning of the term "credit insurance" would depend on the type of credit insurance you are talking about. Business Credit Insurance indemnifies a business against excessive losses due to their customers inability to pay for goods and/or services purchased on credit terms (this would be purchased by the business and losses are payable to the business). Consumer Credit Insurance indemnifies against a consumer's inability to repay a loan or other obligation due to illness or death (this would be purchased by the consumer and losses are paid to the lender).
Collision coverage pays for the repair or replacement of sheet metal and certain other damage sustained to a motor vehicle as a result of an impact with another object. The scope of the collision coverage is set forth in the insurance policy, and is generally distinguished from the comprehensive coverage that covers other causes of loss. Neither collision nor comprehensive coverage indemnifies for bodily injuries or medical expenses.
The term Mortgage Insurance can mean different things to different people and in a variety of situations. I have heard it refer to life insurance designed to pay off a mortgage balance due to death of an insured person. another type of Mortgage Insurance is products such a PMI, which indemnifies a bank or mortgage company in the case of a default on a mortgage loan. In this type of mortgage insurance the person who takes out the loan pays the premiums through their house payments, but will not receive any benefit from the insurance as the only one who gets paid is the bank or mortgage company. The insurance company can then still come after the borrower for the amount of their loss.
banks generally issue a duplicate draft in lieu of the original reported lost.before the duplicate draft is issued, the purchaser indemnifies the bank against liability in case of the lost draft being presented by someone who has obtained a good title to it.the indemnity should cover the amount of the draft and all cost and expenses reasonably incurred by bank in establishing the title of the person presenting the draft.
Title insurance protects you against hidden problems with the ownership of the property, i.e. if the seller doesn't have full rights to sell. It insures that there are no liens or mortgages left unsatisfied on the property. When a buyer purchases a property, title insurance protects them from any claims of ownership, lien, or mortgage placed on the property before the buyer takes title to the property. If the information upon which the title insurance is based is incorrect, and a claim is asserted against your ownership of the home, then the policy indemnifies or protects you from experiencing a financial loss directly attributable to a claim that is covered by the policy.
Insurance indemnifies you if you suffer an insurable loss meaning that your asset is replaced or you are compensated to replace your asset with the basic objective of putting you back to the same financial position that you were in before you incurred the loss/damage. For example you buy insurance for your car, house, computer, etc. Assurance on the other hand aims to provide financial compensation when you suffer a loss that cannot be indemnified, that is, loss of life. For example if your spouse dies they cannot be replaced so you just get monetary compensation for your loss, which unlike in insurance, you cannot use to replace them as you would your lost laptop for instance.
A shaky issue. Likely as not, you are on the contract for these debts with your exspouse. The court that granted your divorce separated you from the debt, and only the courts can legally break a contract when both parties do not agree to it. You have the recourse to appear in court if the creditors attempt to sue you and produce the order from the divorce court indemnifying you. Likely as not the presiding judge will honor the order from the divorce judge, and the creditors will have no option at that point but to pursue your exspouse. Be prepared to cooperate with the court if the judge requests any location or asset information on your exspouse from you. This can only help your case.
It mean what you don't what does it mean.
