In addition to the $125, you can also be compensated $25/hr for time spent dealing with this issue up to a maximum of twenty hours. Ten hours or fewer requires no supporting documentation, so I entered one hour for placing credit freezes and nine hours for pain and suffering.

Whether you were in the breach or not, EVERYONE should freeze their credit.
https://clark.com/credit/credit-freeze-and-thaw-guide/ You can thaw it online if you need to borrow money (takes 1 day) |

This is one that really chapped my ass. I never once directly gave Equifax my information, never personally had a business dealing with them. I don't even think I have to option to tell them to delete me from their system.

Total BS "Credit Monitoring: Free Service or Cash PaymentYou may be eligible to receive free credit monitoring or up to $125 if you already have credit monitoring. You can receive free, three-bureau credit monitoring at all three national credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). Experian will provide this service for at least 4 years. You can also enroll in free, single-bureau credit monitoring of your Equifax credit file, provided by Equifax, for up to 6 years after the Experian service ends. Or, if you have credit monitoring services that you will keep for at least 6 months, you can request a cash payment of $125. Please select either Option 1 or Option 2 below, but not both." |

The form is simple and explains everything. You have three options: 1. Free credit monitoring, 2. $125, or 3. If you can document actual damages and/or time spent, up to $20,000. ETA my mom, my wife, my brother, and I are all eligible according to the lookup tool. |

Here is my brother's reply, which contains a good suggestion on how to get more than $125 if you can document it:
Oh Yes! Just put in our claims as well. Also claimed time spent screwing around with freezes and un-freezes for three different loan events during 2018!
Thanks for sending this.....if we get everything asked for I'm buying lunch! |

Ha! I had my info breached again a couple months ago so I already have credit monitoring. $150!
Seems I have had free credit monitoring for the last 3 years in one way or the other due to all of the breaches.

What exactly qualifies as "damages"?
A few years ago some douchebag ordered an iPhone on my Verizon account and had it shipped to NYC. Verizon waved the charges. Last year my wife's debit card was cloned and some cunt rang up $4000 worth of miscellaneous charges at various stores the next county over. Her bank reimbursed the money. Both scenarios cost hours of playing phone tag. |

I signed up for the credit monitoring and 3 hours of reimbursement for time I've spend researching the breach and monitoring my credit over the last couple of years. Honestly probably spent more time and probably should have done 6+ hours.
