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.

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.

    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).

    Cold Cocked Cards Searches for Alternative Models

    August 8, 2004

    Cold Cocked Cards today announced plans for a nationwide model search.

    Their search ad, posted exclusively on craigslist.org local sites (Miami, New York City, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Las Vegas) and then passed on to several talent sites, read:

    We are seeking a youngish woman with an alternative look to represent our newly formed company, Cold Cocked Cards, in national print advertisements.

    Traditional modeling parameters -- massive height, nano-minimal weight, etc. -- are NOT required or desired, but a cool look -- somewhere between cute and vixen --and photogenic personality are.

    You will:

    model clothing (mostly shirts)
  • pose in varied amounts of clothing with other products
  • (Products can be seen at http://www.coldcockedcards.com/eqp_files/eqp.htm)

    Initially, we will:

  • pay you an hourly wage for your modeling time
  • provide printed samples - national art, illustration, and tattoo magazines

    If things go well, we will:

  • pay you a BETTER hourly wage for your modeling time
  • provide printed samples - national art, illustration, and tattoo magazines
  • give you credits in ads ("featuring so-and-so") to market YOU

    We really are looking to have a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship with one person who can grow with us, so "undiscovereds" or people with little to no experience are encouraged to apply.

    We are Miami-based but will travel or supply (non-extravagant) travel expenses for the right girl.

    While they haven&39;t given specifics, LD Grant said he and partner April Carter were "90% sure" they had made their decision, selecting two young women from a pool of about 700. They have scheduled their first shoot with their new spokesmodels for mid-November.

    Cold Cocked Cards is the new alternative to the majority of "sunshiney and frilly" greeting cards on the market. Infusing the standard greeting card format with sharp sarcasm and dark humor, ColdCockedCards provides greeting-card and other communication solutions for common but substantial occasions, such as break-ups, lust, and general dislike.

    Cold Cocked Cards currently operates exclusively on the Internet at http://www.coldcockedcards.com. For more information on this release, email Lucian Leviathan, Director of Sales and Marketing, or call 305.978.4516.

    Through this service, millions of cyclists across the globe can easily reserve quality bikes online from hundreds of participating bike shops before they travel throughout the US and Canada. By simply selecting a destination, travel dates and type of bike, travelers can search among available bikes and reserve the specific model that suits their size and riding style. Bikes are presented with specs, photos, pricing and shop hours to help travelers find the perfect bike and most convenient bike shop.

    RentaBikeNow.com utilizes Independent Bicycle Dealers to offer the largest fleet of rental bikes and offers every size, shape and flavor including comfort bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, kid&39;s bikes, recumbents and more.

    RentaBikeNow.com started as a vision in 2007 to help cyclists find a rental bike and a good route to ride when they travel.

And through partnerships with major mapping sites, the customer is even provided good routes to ride on their printed confirmation so they can review and plan before they reach their destination.

    Tips for Planning a Low Cost Summer Get-a-Way

    May 11, 2005

    With gas prices continuing to skyrocket, many consumers are worried about being able to afford a family vacation this summer, but, trips are still possible &194;– all you need is some advanced planning and budgeting. If you don&39;t have a budget, create one by tracking expenses. A budget will help you decide how much money you can realistically spend on a vacation. (See Consolidated Credit Counseling Services&194;’ Budgeting Made Easy guide at http://www.consolidatedcredit.org/debt-learning-center/Budgeting-Made-Easy.asp).

    Consider what your options are and research vacation offers. Visit the library to check out travel guides, explore travel sites on the Internet, contact state offices of tourism and collect discount coupons for motels and attractions.

    Follow this advice when planning a fun and frugal summer get-a-way:

    Decide what kind of vacation you want and set your priorities. For some people, staying on the beach is very important while others don&39;t mind staying further away from the water and saving money.
  • Decide what aspects of the vacation are really important to you and your family and pay for them. Leave the corner cutting for items that are less of a priority.
  • Be creative when thinking about how and where to go. Consider vacationing with another family, plan several day trips close to home or check out campgrounds.
  • Shop Around. Airline and hotel rates vary dramatically so be sure to ask for the lowest rate. Use Internet-based discount travel sites to help save on air and hotel expenses, just make sure you read carefully any restrictions that may apply.
  • You can save money if you travel at off-peak times or stay in a room without a view. There are great last minute deals available. Airlines, cruise lines and hotels lower their prices at the last minute. If your travel is flexible, you can take advantage of last minute deals.
  • When booking an airline flight, consider different airports nearby. For example, Los Angeles has several airports in the metropolitan area, as do many other large cities. Sometimes the difference can be substantial. To find out the nearby airports, check the city airport codes at an airline&194;’s web site.
  • Start saving now for next year&194;’s vacation. Set up a special vacation fund and put away some money each week. Get the whole family involved by saving pocket change and putting it into the "vacation fund."
  • Large vacation expenses should never be put on credit card unless you plan to pay off the balance when the bill arrives. When vacations are charged to credit, the cost, including interest, is potentially thousands of dollars more.
  • Charging vacation expenses is best when used with a credit card that offers airline frequent flyer miles, or points toward a hotel stay. Using those credit cards helps pay for the next vacation.
  • Don&194;’t rent a larger car than you will need. Larger cars cost more. Rent a car that will satisfy the needs of that trip and not more. Rental car companies charge much more for luxury amenities.
  • Save on food by bringing your own. When traveling by car, save at lunchtime by stopping at a grocery store and buying your own food. Keep it fresh in an inexpensive styrofoam cooler.
