Equifax Settlement= Easy Money

That's the part that I'm stuck at.
I mean we did freeze our credit and then have to unfreeze it and freeze it again for a loan so we have some damages that can be proven but it's hard to quantify. It does cost every time you freeze or unfreeze it though.
I gonna delve into it more tomorrow.

You can claim up to 10 hours of time spent doing stuff like this in addition to the 125. We had credit monitoring already so we didn't really do anything out of the ordinary but you can claim you spent, idk 2 hours? 5? Doing stuff like this and get paid I think it's 25 bucks per hour with no supporting documentation unless you claim over 10 hours.

I see. Thank you for the clarification!

I'm not sure that's the case, equifax was required to set up an additional sum to be doled out of the original amount gets claimed.

Every single time I have applied for stuff like this, I have only got a fraction of the total that was promised due to the overwhelming number of applicants. The settlement number is the settlement number, unless this was done differently.

Either way, 1 dollar is > zero dollars

I've gotten at least 30 people at work to check theirs....everyone but 2 people were affected....all but 1 skeptical prick got their money.
You mean they've already gotten a check?
 
Well that sux. It says I (my wife) has to already have credit monitoring to get the $125. Buying that is further down on my list than buying gold, or a bunker.
 
Both my wife and I put in for it. I know these are really just ways for the lawyers to get rich but since it's happening anyway I might as well get a (tiny) piece of the pie.
 
Heads up!

If you submitted a claim you need to verify it by providing the name of the credit monitoring service you currently have. You should have received an email.

Kind of good news bad news. Bad news is that you've got another hoop to jump through. Good news is that this hoop will filter out a lot of claims, so it increases the chances that you'll get some kind of cash settlement that will be worth more than the price of postage.

I'm out.
Gonna take the free credit monitoring. Even though my credit is frozen and therefore doesn't really need monitoring

Credit Karma is free and does everything I've seen any other credit monitoring service do. I have credit monitoring from three different places (one is Credit Karma) because it often comes included with credit/loans. I like Credit Karma over my Capital One monitoring, which I think is called Creditwise.

The thing Credit Karma does that earns them their money is that they suggest credit and/or loans. Like they can see what your car loan amount is and they'll have a message saying "We think you can save $X on your car loan, click here for details" And when you "click here" it takes you to a list, still on their website, that shows 5-6 car loans they think you'll qualify for and shows the length and APR of the loan and what your new payment would be.
 
Man. that was some sweet sweet free easy money.

Class action lawsuits, they're the perfect way to make things right for large numbers of people who have been harmed by enormous multi-billion dollar corporations. Those multi-billion dollar companies will think twice before gaining billions off causing harm to their customers since they might have to possibly pay hundreds of millions if they are extremely unlucky and get caught and successfully litigated.

I love the freedom that America gives me to be victimized by corporations who will be given a free pass in the name of capitalism. Get that socialist nonsense out of my face!
