Better Qualified Announces Freedom Package™ BQ Shield and credit repair central to protecting consumers RUMSON, NJ – November 1, 2007 – While 70% of Americans suffer from negative credit, identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States. According to the Consumer Federation of America, credit scores have become one of the most important numbers in the lives of Americans, affecting not only one’s ability to get a mortgage, but even a job, as employers are increasingly looking at them to judge a candidate’s “level of responsibility”. And so far this year, 55 million people have had their identities stolen, lost in transit, or made public in some way. According to Paul Oster, CEO of Better Qualified, a leading provider of credit restoration and identity protection services, “When you couple these two issues together, the problem is only going to get worse. Consumers are being exposed to greater and greater risk, because all of their information is out there and an increasing number of others are, legally or illegally, gaining access to that information.” “The potential for a breach of your information is accelerating, and if compromised, either through theft or inaccuracy, it could have a devastating impact on consumers personally and financially”, continued Stuerken. In fact, according to the Public Interest Research Group, over 70% of credit reports contain errors, 29% of which could result in the denial of credit. Meanwhile, a Federal Trade Commission study indicates that 41% of identity theft victims are still dealing with the recovery process two years later. “By the very nature of our service, we talk to consumers every day. We’ve seen first-hand how these issues can negatively affect their lives and we help resolve their problems. “This is the precise reason why we created the Freedom Package™,” adds Oster, “With the savings and protection we provide, the annual membership program, which includes ID Shield, Legal Plan, BQ Credit Solutions Kit, and the Debt Settlement Program, literally pays for itself within a few months”, Oster added. “Establishing and maintaining credit worthiness is an absolute necessity in today’s environment and remains a challenge, even under the best of circumstances, especially when 40% of Americans have never even obtained their credit score. To then have a system where information and misinformation is freely accessible and exchanged without adequate safeguards puts consumers at a disadvantage. Our objective with the Freedom Package™ is to protect our customers’ credit and identity, while providing meaningful services and benefits to improve their financial situation,” Oster concluded.
