Equifax settlement

Anyone taking bets on how many of the Equifax checks end up being used for NFA stamps?

I've got a kid heading off to college. Mine won't last long.

I'm with ya, my eldest will be entering her senior year in September, with her baby sister a decade behind...

After several breeches over the last few years I have monitoring already provided to me. I'm not sure it's worth a flip. My monitoring through Amex has been pretty darned good though, I must say. Time to get some cash out of these incompetent corporate nitwits.

Sadly the monitoring does not help you "fix anything" but, it does give you a heads up that someone is doing something under your name though. When Wife got hit that was how she found out. I kept getting alerts that someone was looking at her credit, then that accounts were being opened. After like the 3d time of me saying something she checked and did put a stop to it. If she had jumped on it when I first told her it would have been a little easier to clean up.
When I bought the last car I was still sitting in the dealership when the first e-mail hit me that someone was looking at me.

Oh, its going to pay down some CCs for sure. I have one stamp, 3 guns, and a bit of accessories I've charged in the last 6 months on my secret (from the mrs.) CC. (Well, I've kept the balance secret at least. lol)

See, if it's free money, then it's too good to be true... And now it looks like it could be pennies on the dollar... Credit monitoring might start looking better...

"The settlement administrator will be sending an email to those who chose the cash option with information on how to switch to free credit monitoring if they wish. "

To which I reply, "Nuts!"

Equifax just removed the $125 claim payout option after millions submitted claims. Now it's offering credit monitoring. Don't worry, Equifax says, this is really a "much better value."
