DENVER, Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ID Watchdog, Inc. (TSX VENTURE: IDW) (PINKSHEETS: IDWAF) ("ID Watchdog" or the "Company"), provider of consumer-facing identity theft protection and resolution services, today announced that on October 12, 2015 it was served with a summons in a civil action by its former sales affiliate in its tech support channel ("Sales Affiliate") claiming they are presently due approximately $600,000, plus additional amounts as future sales are processed, for their portion of the subscription revenue for certain customer subscription renewals realized by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Identity Rehab Corporation ("IRC").  The Sales Affiliate claims that these renewals occurred subsequent to the November 21, 2014 termination of the sales arrangement between the Sales Affiliate and IRC.  In addition, the Sales Affiliate is claiming that it is due a net amount of $159,366 from IRC which was wrongfully paid to IRC by its third party billing processor.

The Company believes these claims are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims.
