Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Company announced today a partnership with Identity Theft 911 that provides the nation’s premier identity theft resolution services to all its homeowner policyholders and their families, at no additional charge. Should Michigan Millers policyholders become victims of identity theft, they will receive free access to the fraud specialists at Identity Theft 911®, America’s leading provider of identity theft education and resolution services.

“At Michigan Millers, our first priority is to be there for our customers when they need us,” said Rich Rasmussen, President and CEO of Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Company.  “Identity theft is America’s fastest-growing crime, and anyone can become a victim. If this does happen to one of our policyholders, we want them to know we have the nation’s top identity theft resolution experts standing by to help them through it from beginning to end.”

Recent research from both the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and Gartner shows identity theft rising by leaps and bounds—an increase fueled by growing involvement by organized crime and street gangs, as well as a surge in database breaches. Over 150 million records have now been compromised in database breaches since January 2005.

Identity Theft 911 provides an expert personal advocate who works one-on-one to assist policyholders through all of the challenges of identity and credit restoration. The company’s resolution service is designed to reduce the time, stress, and financial impact suffered by identity theft victims, and to simplify the process for all involved.

“Since 1881, we’ve prided ourselves on listening to our customers and responding to their needs with innovative, best-of-breed solutions,” said Rasmussen. “We wouldn’t expect them to settle for anything less. That’s why we chose Identity Theft 911.”

“This partnership is based on common purpose and shared values,” said Identity Theft 911 President Steve Christenson. “The people at Michigan Millers have a great reputation for putting their customers first, and for coming up with effective solutions on their behalf.  With identity theft becoming more threatening than ever, we’re glad to help bring peace of mind to Michigan Millers policyholders.”
