WorldRemit founder WINS entrepreneurship Award for new system for the transfer of money

December 14,Dr Ismail Ahmed, the founder and CEO of WorldRemit, won the entrepreneurship award at the Somali Achievement Awards ceremony held in London on 11 December 2010 in recognition of an innovative online money transfer business he established earlier this year. WorldRemit (www.worldremit.com) enables members of the diaspora to send money safely from the comfort of their own homes at any time of day or night. Dr Ahmed said, “We are delighted to have won this community award which recognises the contribution of our innovative business to the Somali diaspora. Winning this award as well as the prize we won at the prestigious London Business School business plan competition in May 2010 is a fantastic accolade for our business and our team. Traditionally migrants used to send money home through “hawalaagents which meant withdrawing cash from a bank, taking time off to visit an agent, queuing up to hand over cash, and presenting identification documents. Up to 90% of transfers are $100 or less, but on average it takes up to one hour to travel to and from an agent location. In some cases the travel costs of those who don’t live near agents are more than the amount they send. Now, using a variety of payment options including debit and credit cards, customers can send money to family and friends from the privacy and convenience of their own home or office without the need to queue up at an agent location. WorldRemit currently offers money transfer to 25 countries. Recipients can receive money either by collecting cash from one of the many pay-out locations or directly in their bank or mobile phone account.

ConsumerTrack, Inc. Launches Identity Protection Service, GoIdentityProtect.com

Los Angeles, CA September 15, 2009

Identity theft affected 10 million people last year, and it is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. ConsumerTrack, Inc aims to help consumers deal with the problem proactively with their new Go Identity Protect program. The product connects consumers to a preemptive and on-going solution for consumers who want to avoid the trouble of dealing with damaged credit, bank and credit fraud, and other types of identity-related crimes that can take months to resolve.

Go Identity Protect works by helping consumers help protect themselves against Identity Theft and Credit Fraud. The ID Protection services send alerts to members via email as soon as there is something amiss with their credit reports, which are monitored for their ultimate protection. Unusual or suspicious transactions on credit and debit cards are also reported. Members of Go Identity Protect who have fallen victim to identity theft will enjoy the support of the service, including a $1 million dollar product guarantee.

To enroll in the ID protection program, consumers simply have to fill out a form on the site. Consumers will then also receive a free credit report to review and make sure they are aware of all the accounts opened in their name. They will be enrolled in a 30-day membership trial that can be canceled without any cost or obligation within those 30 days. After the trial period, membership fees will be $9.95 each month.

"ConsumerTrack is excited to introduce the new Go Identity Protect offer into the market because it really does take identity protection to the next level. With up to 1,000 people falling victim to some form of identity fraud each hour and identity-related crimes projected to grow, the timing is right for this type of service. The process is made extremely easy for consumers: once they sign up and review their free credit report, the ID Protection service can handle their credit monitoring from that point on so they never have to look at another credit report again," stated Jeff Bartlett, Director of ConsumerTrack.

The Go Identity Protect program has notable advantages over many similar identity protection services being offered today. Consumers will be able to register all their credit and debit cards in the program and replace all of them instantly if they become lost or are stolen. The 3 bureau credit monitoring is also done daily, so consumers will be notified promptly if something is wrong.

About ConsumerTrack
ConsumerTrack.com was launched in early 2003 to assist Fortune 500 and national finance companies in their customer acquisition and CRM needs. The company has since launched over 1500 websites that market to consumers interested in; Refinancing their homes, buying or selling their home, getting out of debt, improving their credit, getting a student loan, installing a home security system as well as many other homeowner related services.

ConsumerTrack.com currently works with many of the larger US banks and insurance providers, as well as several top Internet media companies. The company&39;s flexibility allows it to rapidly launch new websites and structure new marketing programs to generate new customers for companies in a variety of different industries including travel leads, insurance leads, education leads, mortgage leads and home service leads, while making it very simple for consumers to find the best services that match their specific needs.

Keeping Spending Down as Temps Climb

July 26, 2005

Consumers don&194;’t need a calendar to tell them it&194;’s summer &194;– they can tell by the loan offers that swamp mailboxes, enticing borrowers to charge a vacation to a credit card or take out a home equity loan for a new boat. But the season&194;’s good times can have a not-so-pleasant impact on future financial security, particularly in light of this year&194;’s double hit on debt: the recent doubling of minimum credit-card payments and the new bankruptcy reform law that will take effect this October.

This year, the Travel Industry Association of America forecast a record-breaking summer travel season, with travelers planning to spend an average of $1,109 per person on their longest trip. Taking a family of four to a ballgame now costs around $150. Even barbecue grills add up, moving into the thousands of dollars for the deluxe models made popular on today&194;’s home TV shows.

"Debt is like a swimming pool: Getting in over your head can be dangerous," warns Bradford Stroh, founder and co-CEO of Freedom Financial Network, LLC. "With vacation travel, outdoor entertainment and expensive toys like RVs and hot tubs, summer can be a financial minefield."

To avoid breaking the bank for summer fun, Stroh suggests the following:

1. A budget knows no season. Just because the boss is in Hawaii doesn&194;’t mean your budget is on vacation. Post your budget somewhere visible, like the fridge door, so summer can&194;’t burn it out of your mind. For those toys you really want, make a plan to save a certain amount every month so you can afford them &194;– next year.

2. Stay old-fashioned. How did you spend summer days and nights as a child Revisit old favorites: star-gazing, basketball in the driveway, frozen fruit pops, a cookout with friends, a trip to a local swimming hole. Challenge your family to have fun on a dime.

3. Scrimp on vacation. If you haven&194;’t yet escaped home, you might have a bad case of wanderlust. Try a camping vacation or a road trip. A recent study found that a family of four can take a weeklong RV trip for $483, compared to $1,169 for a car trip (staying in motels) or a painful $2,918 for a vacation by plane (source: PKF Consulting). For a getaway on the (dirt) cheap, pitch a tent in your backyard &194;– and borrow your indoor plumbing.

4. Think cold. Think &194;“Christmas in July&194;” and plan now for holiday purchases. Make sure you have a budget in place for seasonal gifts. Then, take advantage of summer sales to get great deals.

Freedom Financial Network, LLC (http://www.freedomfinancialnetwork.com) provides consumer debt resolution services through its Freedom Debt Relief, Freedom Foreclosure Relief and Freedom Tax Relief divisions. Working for the consumer and negotiating with creditors to lower principal balances due, the company offers an alternative to bankruptcy, credit counseling, and debt consolidation. Based in San Mateo, Calif., Freedom Financial Network serves more than 3,000 clients nationwide and manages more than $100 million in consumer debt.

    Debt stacking gives financial control back to consumers

    Groton, VT April 5, 2004 -

    &194;–According to a report issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 1.65 million bankruptcies were filed in 2003. One would think with that many consumers finding relief from debt that credit companies would not be able to afford offers of easy credit but just the opposite is true. The large number of filings exemplifies a much deeper problem rooted in the fabric of free enterprise&194;—greed. Jolley warns; &194;“Don&194;’t be fooled by all the easy credit offers out there.&194;”

    The large numbers of bankruptcy filings are more than offset by the larger number who faithfully continue month after month paying minimum payments on high interest credit cards. And the ones who do file bankruptcy are often wooed back into the debt cycle with interest rates reaching nearly 30%. For the credit card institution it&194;’s a &194;“win&194;—win&194;” while the consumer merely struggles to stay afloat.

    The encouraging news, according KFP statistics, is not everyone is falling for the old &194;“bait and hook&194;” tactics arriving daily in mail boxes. Jolley points out &194;“There is a solution that will save you lots of money and bring true financial freedom.&194;” That solution is the principle of &194;“debt stacking.&194;”

    Much of Gene Jolley&194;’s time is spent traveling while giving seminars to reeducate consumers on sound financial principles. &194;“We are in the business of helping people live better lives on less money.&194;” And those who have been helped by Jolley know the sincerity he places in that business. Jolley will tell you of his own experiences while growing up where money was a scarce commodity. He fully understands how debt can create stress capable of wreaking havoc on marriages and health. As a devout Christian with his own family, Jolley recognizes the importance of proper money management.

    The question ultimately comes down to who will have control over the spending of consumer finances. Advertisements aimed to make you discontent with what you have are driving Americans out to an endless cycle of spending. When it comes to spending, bigger, better, and more are attitudes the credit industry wants consumers to adopt. But being caught up in these habits is like handing your wallet each week to the smiling face of the man at the bank. Bigger, better, and more doesn&194;’t bring happiness but frustration and stress that continually contributes to health and marriage problems. Take back the financial control in your life.

    Credit Negatively Affecting the Lives of Our Service Men&Women

    Salt Lake City, UT August 12, 2009

    Increased foreclosures around U.S. military bases are above the national average according to the Senate Joint Economic Committee. The financial strain on today&39;s soldiers and their families is three times higher on average than it has been in decades. Lexington Law reports that a percentage of their clients&39; credit was damaged while they were in the military. Reasons for damaged credit reported by military members include the use of check cashing fees, payday loan services, rent-to-own services and identity theft. Military families are vulnerable targets for identity theft because they move around a lot, often need quick cash, and their military members are often out of the country.

    "With the high stress level and pressure that our troops are under, there isn&39;t always time to think about credit, and when you add the constant packing and travel to the mix, things get hectic and oftentimes missed," says John Heath, Directing Attorney for Lexington Law. "Lexington Law offers credit correction options for military members facing these personal credit challenges. Once a military member sets up a case with us, they are assigned a paralegal that works with them in reviewing their credit profile, identifying items that are questionable, and taking the appropriate legal steps to correct those items. This can be a great comfort to know that no matter where they are relocated, defending their credit profiles and continuing the work necessary to take care of their credit challenges will continue."

    Military members do not have a lot of time to deal with personal issues while they are deployed, and because they can be called into battle suddenly, they might not be able to take care of all the loose ends prior to shipping out. For all military members, Lexington Law recommends taking the necessary steps to protect your credit profile and avoid the suffering that many credit challenges cause. These steps include:

  • Never give out your social security numbers or personal information unless you are certain of the trustworthiness of the person or business requesting this information.
  • Don&39;t manage your bank accounts online using public computers.
  • Don&39;t carry your social security card or birth certificate with you while you are traveling.
  • Always know and monitor your credit score and credit profile.

    About Lexington Law
    Lexington Law, a consumer advocacy law firm, is the nation&39;s leading provider of credit correction services. These services have been refined through 18 years of experience representing more than &189; million clients as they&39;ve worked to resolve credit issues. Through participation in services which address issues with creditors as well as the credit bureaus directly, our average clients see 84% of the damaging information removed from their credit reports within 1 year (individual results may vary).
