    Just got an email to verify that I have credit monitoring from another source. They are definitely trying to weed out some claims for cash. Well, I have credit monitoring from like five different sources, three of which are because of other company breaches.

    Same. I just came in here to report this as well.

    Did they ever pay a dime for their malfeasance?

    They had to buy utterly useless ID Theft protection policies for a whole lot of people. So.. kinda?

    Except that does virtually nothing to solve what happened.

    They should have been burned to the ground and then the entire industry nationalized (which it arguably should have always been) but no, this was never more than a hiccup for them.

    It’s in appellate court right now as a few groups have appealed the settlement because it amounts to like 7 bucks a person.Even though it looks like a big number.

    I'm not sure if any of you started getting emails about claims. I didn't input a monitoring service because I have it from the OPM breach. I may update my claim.

    I, just now, got an email from info@equifaxbreachsettlement.com

    Is this legit? They're gonna send me my $2, 5 years later, or whatever?


    I can't figure out how to check what address they have on file for me. I guess knowing that is kinda their job, but I'd still like to confirm it

    I don't know if it's legit, but there is a session under "contact administrator->secure form" to update your address

    kind of fucked that this isn't front and center since it's been so long
    I've moved three times since I filled that shit out!

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    can't wait for all that sweet sweet cash

    I may buy a bottle of filtered 7 11 water or perhaps a single apple! The world is my oyster [oysters are too expensive] single hard-boiled egg from Wawa!

    I hope you invested in that egg while it was still affordable.
