ALLIANT NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE CO. SIGNS ON WITH LIFELOCKSM


Guaranteed protection against identity theft and credit tampering—up to $1 million
LONGMONT—Alliant National Title Insurance Company, a unique title insurance underwriter that partners with Independent Agents to improve their competitive position in the marketplace, announces another service for its agents: guaranteed and proactive protection against the fastest growing crime in America—identity theft— offered through Lifelock. Lifelock is the only company in the market working to prevent identity theft crimes and backing their service with a $1 million guarantee. The service is currently available, at a discounted rate, to Alliant National Title Insurance Company Independent Agents and their clients. Subscribers are protected from a crime that can steal hundreds of hours of repair efforts and result in untold financial despair.

"Identity theft is a particularly challenging and insidious crime," says Dave Ginger, Alliant National Title Insurance Company President. "Lifelock offers Alliant's Independent Agents, employees and clients a unique opportunity to fully protect themselves against a theft that can take years to overcome—and Lifelock also helps Alliant ensure that everyone doing business with us has the very best protection possible."

The addition of Lifelock to services offered through its agents continues Alliant National's forward-thinking focus on 21st century technology. Alliant National also recently added Simplifile, an online document e-filing service, in addition to ClosingSite, which enables consumers and Independent Agent title companies the ability to manage, 24/7—and within the privacy of their homes, offices, or wherever an Internet connection is available—the voluminous paper inherent in typical real estate transactions. Alliant National also created the SecureExchange service for 1031 exchanges, which affords password-protected access to real estate documents 24/7 online, and notifies parties of completed real estate documents and process steps.

"Consumers spend an average of 177 hours and two years of their lives attempting to restore a stolen identity," says Todd Davis, CEO of Lifelock. "Lifelock is preventative and proactive, so the crime is much more difficult to accomplish. If identity theft does occur, LifeLock will manage the problem for the consumer, restoring credit and identity, even engaging attorneys to recover and protect the identity of their subscribers. Alliant National Title Insurance Company is a perfect partner for this next-generation business necessity."

Some of the Lifelock services include: blocking credit so only the owner can use it; stopping pre-approved credit offers; drastically reducing junk mail; prevention of children's identities from being stolen; providing free annual credit reports; and 100% efficient and swift credit restoration if identity is ever pilfered—plus a $1 million guarantee against any financial loss. "Lifelock puts alerts on all elements of an identity and its potential theft, including alerts with credit bureaus and issuance of interception of any attempts to tamper with a consumer's credit," says Ginger. "Our mission is to help protect the dreams of property owners, so we are very excited to bring this dynamic, state-of-the-art service to our clients via our independent agents."
