ID Theft Assist Adds Credit Monitoring As Part of Full-Service Package
Washington, DC: July 1, 2006 - Worldwide Benefit Services, LLC, is pleased to announce the addition of credit monitoring at no additional cost to all current and future full-service customers starting July 1, 2006. This addition is the latest in the expanding services provided to ID Theft Assist customers.
By offering unique services for a changing world, WBS is ready to expand its position as one of the country’s leading service product developers and wholesalers. The new service products are:
Credit monitoring is a subscription product which automatically monitors a wide range of data on member's credit records, including address, employment, bankruptcy, public records, and new inquiries. Enrollment in this product ensures that member will be notified if any changes are made to his or her credit report.
"This is a much needed addition to ITA’s suites of services." said Gregg Brooks, a principal with Worldwide Benefit Services. "Not only do our customers have the most comprehensive recovery program available, but now our new customers will have a pro-active benefit available the first day of enrollment, and our current customers get a terrific product enhancement without an extra cost."
Current customers will be receiving instructions on how to activate the credit monitoring benefit in the coming weeks, either from their sponsoring organization or directly from ID Theft Assist. Future customers will receive activation instructions as part of their member package upon enrollment.
ID Theft Assist consists of wide-ranging victim support including the emotional and stress related aspects of identify theft. Many of the services associated with ID Theft Assist are not provided with most other ID theft benefit programs. These services include immediate access to the victim’s credit report; notification services to creditors, credit reporting agencies, creditor fraud departments, and local authorities; cash advances and translation services for victims traveling away from home; legal document review and consultation; and 24/7 emotional counseling.
Unlike most of the identity recovery programs on the market, ID Theft Assist doesn’t just offer suggestions on what to do. Its twenty-four hour, seven days-a-week Emergency Response Center does all the heavy lifting for the victim no matter how long it takes.
