Will anyone get their $125.00?
The attorneys will get way more than $125.00. THAT you can count on.
Class action lawsuit, each member of the class gets pennies, the lawyers get half the total sum.
That's why you see lawyers advertising on TV for users of RoundUp, etc.
No, but THEY have a bunch of new contacts...including SS#.
Equifax says I was breached. The only reason I might file a claim is to get the free credit monitoring.
The article says that service is worth hundreds of dollars per year.
I don’t know about that. I do know I’ve lived 61 years without credit monitoring so is this really a big deal?
We have until next year to file - so I’ll wait and see....
I didn’t see the $125 as worth the time and effort it would take to “maybe” see some of it. Now, if it was $1200, I’d have pursued it.
That’s why the trial lawyers and Democrats are now trying to pass laws to blame the drug companies for the “opiod crisis.” Let’s not deal with the fact those drugs are actually coming in from Red China through Mexico.
One of these days you are going to need pain killers and will find out they won’t give them to you any more even if you legitimately need them. It’s already happening.
IIRC, no one will receive a check until after the January 22, 2020, deadline (assuming we’re receiving anything at all, that is).
You can freeze your credit. That way nobody can open accounts in your name. Just unfreeze it when you need a loan, then freeze it back.
I billed them for my time and effort. We will see what I get back.
Those greasy scumbuckets make me physically ill.
Because the only ones getting anything are the lawyers.
They can save some Postage by including the $125 in the same Envelope my $2,500 Obamacare Savings Check is in.

And if I’m not mistaken, by taking the money you will be giving up any claim to any future damages. So yeah, I’m passing too.
... Equifax already had your contact information, including your SS#...
That is what they tried in the beginning, hence the class action. The class action will provide you with credit repair if your personal information is misused in addition to providing you with credit monitoring.
“The only reason I might file a claim is to get the free credit monitoring”
Those are the guys who will ‘breach’ your privacy
I didn’t see the $125 as worth the time and effort it would take to “maybe” see some of it.
The earliest anyone can expect their money as a practical matter is 2020.
