Equifax Date Breach Settlement
Equifax ^
Posted on 07/26/2019 8:25:08 AM PDT by mplc51
In September of 2017, Equifax announced it experienced a data breach, which impacted the personal information of approximately 147 million people. A federal court is considering a proposed class action settlement submitted on July 22, 2019, that, if approved by the Court, would resolve lawsuits brought by consumers after the data breach. Equifax denies any wrongdoing, and no judgment or finding of wrongdoing has been made.

Takes 2 minutes to find out if you were one involved. You either get $125 cash 0r 10 years of credit monitoring. Your choice. My family of 4 all were hit.

Isn’t Equifax one of the last places we would go for credit monitoring?
They should have been shut down, and bosses jailed.

Me, too. I took the credit monitoring. It’s worth a lot more than $125 to me.

Why is it not their responsibility to notify EVERYONE whose data they compromised?

btw — I was eligible for the BP Oil Spill settlement but walked away from it.
They refused to allow me to redact my children’s SSN on my tax returns to file the claim.
Nowadays you go to fix one injustice and walk in on two more and risks start to escalate.
Damn courts are to blame too.

thanks for posting this ... i forwarded it to my political email list of friends and family and filed a claim for myself: I took the $125.00 because i monitor my own CCs and haven’t seen anything untoward since this happened ...

The people who mandated credit gathering and force us do dance to their song now give us a pat on the butt and tell us to go on our way.
HANG UM!

I checked, my husband was compromised but I was not. Supposedly you will get $125 unless you had to hire an accountant and experienced lot of fraud then you can get up to $20K.

Equifax denies any wrongdoing
Equifax is full of BS. They exposed millions of social security numbers, names, addresses, incomes and birth dates to the world, and the people affected will need to spend the rest of their lives knowing that they are exposed to identity theft and credit fraud. That's worth a lot more than $125 to every single person who was affected by Equifax's complete failure to secure private data. They deserve to be sued out of existence, and their execs need to be facing criminal charges. The US government needs to pass laws which make breaches of data privacy a matter of life and death for corporations which insist on collecting and trading vital private information about us. The EU-GDPR gets the punishments right - in the EU, Equifax would be preparing for dissolution right now. In the US, they're preparing to take some FTC swamp-dwellers to dinner.
$125 or 10 years of credit monitoring - and in exchange we sign away any right to further compensation if some criminal in Turkmenistan assumes our identity and destroys our lives. Pathetic.
If you make a claim under the settlement, or if you do nothing, you will be releasing all of your legal claims relating to the Data Breach against Equifax when the settlement becomes final. By releasing your legal claims, you are giving up the right to file, or to continue to pursue, separate legal claims against or seek further compensation from Equifax for any harm related to the Data Breachwhether or not you are currently aware of those claims.

We talk about them all the time but today they really have tracking data on you and your family.
It is beyond scary. You try to look up any data on those who review yours and you find nothing.
