ALLEN, TX–(Marketwire – 02/02/10) – href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1227&F=H">Halo
Credit Solutions, LLC, a nationwide credit repair company and a
subsidiary of href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1223&F=H">Halo
Companies, Inc. (OTC.BB: href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1228&F=H">GPAX
- href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1229&F=H">News),
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 href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1217&F=H">Halo
Credit Solutions, LLC.

At a market-low price of $199, href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1221&F=H">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, href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1218&F=H">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 href="http://www.sgurunews.com/emailmarketer/link.php?M=16735&N=650&L=1218&F=H">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.
