MicroBilt Announces Gift Giving Program that Protects Identity Theft

MicroBilt Corporation today announced the release of a suite of comprehensive Identity Theft and Credit Protection Packages that include restoration services, identity theft insurance covering up to $25,000 in cost reimbursements, real-time monitoring of personal credit information, access to FICO scores and personal credit reports, web based resources and fraud prevention materials. These Packages help consumers avoid becoming victims of identity theft and, if necessary, mitigate and repair the effects of identity theft.

MicroBilt offers the Protection Packages to credit unions, banks, financial intermediaries, retailers and auto dealers to complement the products and services afforded to their customers/members. Many firms present the Credit Protection Packages to their clientele as holiday ‘thank you’ gifts. To make these gifts especially affordable, MicroBilt is offering these Packages at a special holiday discount rate of 10% off. Each Package includes materials to alert individuals to the threat of identity theft, provides information on how to avoid becoming a victim and shields against identity restoration costs.

“Through our partnership with AIG insurance and Fair Isaac’s myFICO® we’ve produced a comprehensive program that works to prevent identity theft as well as to restore an individuals identity in the event of a theft,” states Ken Hill, President of MicroBilt. “These programs are available for businesses to offer their customers for use in marketing, acquisition and customer retention programs and make ideal gifts during the holiday season.”

MicroBilt is also providing the basic Credit Protection Package to their new CreditCommander.com customers in appreciation for their business and as a promotional incentive. CreditCommander.com is powered by MicroBilt and is one of the top leading providers of decision critical data to businesses.

Identity theft and fraud are among the Nation’s fastest growing crimes. More than 27 million Americans have had some part of their identity stolen in the past five years, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Identity thieves steal the victim’s financial identity by running up fraudulent credit card bills. Restoring one’s name and good credit is a time-consuming and expensive process that often requires months or even years.
