Halo Companies, Inc. Introduces HaloSafe ID, a New Level of Identity Theft Protection

Posted on Feb 02, 2010 at 7:00am

ALLEN, TX--(Marketwire - February 2, 2010) - Halo Credit Solutions, LLC, a nationwide credit repair company and a subsidiary of Halo Companies, Inc. (OTCBB: GPAX), announced today the addition of HaloSafe ID, an identity theft product that will bring additional value to Halo's full-service credit repair. "Halo's credit repair service has always been the best value in the market. We are very pleased to be able to offer this additional feature making the product more robust and an even better value for the Halo consumer," states Michael Barry, president of Halo Credit Solutions, LLC.

At a market-low price of $199, Halo Credit Solutions, LLC has consistently offered the best value for the price. The product now offers consumers credit protection, as well as the existing credit analyzer and credit repair services. In addition, Halo Benefits, Inc., the B2B vehicle through which Halo provides benefits to employers, associations, and resellers, will now offer HaloSafe ID as an a-la-carte product within their bundle of services. "HaloSafe ID is such a great additional asset for the Halo Benefits package. I am enthused about the many lives we will be able to reach and protect through the inclusion of this product," states Kelly Harper, program director of Halo Benefits, Inc.

HaloSafe ID, scheduled to roll-out before the second quarter, stays true to Halo's product profile by offering the most complete identity theft services available on the market. While typical competitor products offer restoration and limited monitoring only, HaloSafe ID includes insurance (up to $25,000), extensive monitoring, document preparation, financial coaching, legal consulting, and a stolen purse/loss wallet. According to the Javelin Strategy & Research Institute, although online identity theft is on the rise, lost or stolen wallets still comprise 42% of identity theft crimes. With the HaloSafe ID, when a loss or theft event occurs, a single phone call to HaloSafe ID results in immediate calls made on the consumer's behalf to every relevant creditor, effectively canceling and reissuing credit cards when necessary. Additionally, a fraud alert is placed with credit reporting agencies if needed.

HaloSafe ID is included initially as a part of the retail credit repair product for the first 90 days and then consumers will have the option to continue the identity theft protection for only $6.95 per month, even after their need for Halo's credit repair services has ended. The feature becomes an ongoing service that Halo Credit Solutions, LLC provides. "A great deal of consumers' credit scores are affected by identity theft issues every day. The addition of this feature to our product package adds a preventative layer to our existing credit repair process," added Mr. Barry.
