Equifax Data Breach Settlement - You May Be Eligible for $125

I'm not eligible since my personal data wasn't put at risk. Posting since there's a fairly short time window to get your settlement if you were affected (you can look it up on the FTC's web site).

well this makes me happy and sad. Happy to know about it, sad I'm apparently affected. Happy I have pretty solid credit monitoring from my work.

thanks! I made my claim.
(one of my card details was stolen but luckily the card company caught the fraud transactions and I was not severely impacted)

Thanks for the link, I was eligible, which was good and bad, but I'm sure most peoples data is already out there with all the breeches in the last 6-8 years

Dream on, I was effected and so was my wife. Trust me, they are far from just giving 125$ to everyone effected. Go to site....Google foo, lmao, nothing in life is easy nor fair.

oh lovely lol - so many people requested the $125 instead of free credit monitoring that besides proving you have existing credit monitoring (done) it says the actual paid amount they send may now be 'significantly lower'
:rolleyes:
can't wait for my $25

I filed when it initially was offered as I had my identity stolen due to it most likely.

You will be EXTREMELY lucky to get $25

Most of these class actions settlements work out as you getting a few dollars ten years from now.

yeah, the few other class actions I've been a part of usually results in nothing or a $10 visa gift card.
