Sorry AOC, but Equifax probably won’t be paying people $125 apiece

Those hoping to cash in on the massive Equifax settlement might be out of luck, thanks to AOC.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a call for those affected by the 2017 data leak to make a claim, saying they could get $125 — “a nice chunk of change.”
But only $31 million has been earmarked for the payments, and the more who file claims, the less each person gets.
If all 147 million entitled to money request it, they would get just 21 cents apiece.
The freshman Democratic Socialist tweeted out a link Friday to a page where anyone affected by the breach from the credit reporting agency could file a claim.
“Everyone: go get your check from Equifax! $125 is a nice chunk of change,” she said. “Get that money and pay off a bill, sock it away, take a day off, treat yourself, whatever you’d like – but cash 👏🏿 that 👏🏽 check! 👏🏻 💸 It takes one minute.”

I’d give up that chunk in exchange for a competent credit agency.

If you look at the fine print; the cash is only for people without a credit monitoring service. For most people it will be a few years of credit monitoring; not cash.

You only get that $125 if you can prove you spent >10 hours mitigating risks of the breach, including having current credit monitoring.
If you didn’t even know about the breach until this week, you’re not getting $125 - and that’s most victims.

Actually they didn’t ask for any proof. You need proof if you want > $125.

My, how times have. When President Bush announced that his tax cuts would result in many Americans receiving a rebate of $1,000, Nanzi Pelosi denounced it as chump change. Now, $125 is a nice chunk of change. demonicRATS are weird.

I have a question. Who gave these credit agencies rights to our financial records?
I don’t ever remember giving them permission.
