Oh boy I can't wait to get my share. Just maybe it will pay for half a cup of coffee.

You expect cash, Observer? I'm sure that the $3 you're entitled to will be spent for free credit monitoring from... Equifax!

Really? Whiners don't bother to click on the link, clearly.
Thank you, mv voice for the public service in providing this!!!
Page 1: $125 up to $20,000, or yes, Equifax services.
There's more, including: "3. Free Identity Restoration Services: You are eligible for at least 7 years of free assisted identity restoration service"
Equifax management are jerks. Lawyers are often leaches. But fercrissakes, stop whining about half a cup of coffee.
I have no idea what a final payout will be, but.......
Misleading whining doesn't help the community. Please read it if you qualify.
Have a great morning!

Seems like entrapment ... they lose all our information then want us to pay them to help protect it?
This company should no longer be allowed to exist.
I never gave Equifax (or similar) permission to track every purchase and payment I've ever made. How did they get my social security number in the first place?
All the various state's attorney generals bragging about this is a slap in the face.

IF you already have credit monitoring and can prove it's active for the next 6 months, then you might be eligible for $150.00.
If you had you ID stolen you may be eligible of up to 20K.
If you do not have current credit monitoring, you get their service for free and no $

The individual pay out depends upon the number of verified claims. My experience with consumer class actions is that after several years, you will receive a very small fraction of what is initially stated. Many times, it is not worth the postage and copying fees.
As an example, there was a cruise line calling people then taking political polls. The calls took place several years ago. According to the court notices and statements, I should receive $750.00 due to the number of calls I could prove after diligently searching our old records. I even agreed to speak with a master. Now, as settlement approaches, all these years later, it looks more like $6.00 (not a typo) will be coming my way.
We will all probably be offered free credit monitoring for a year from Equifax.
Sad but true.
