That's a very good thing to do.  It just complicates things if you need to get a loan, a background check, etc.

psssssttttt - (Whispers) it is.

No one will end up with near the claim. Its just that a CLAIM. Most will end up with <$5.

The 1,000,000 insurance alone is worth it. I cant think of any downside - no social all publicly available information other than maybe your email.

All my CC's and debits are already backed the only thing left is actual credit taken out - there is no backer for that. My aunt was effected and it has been YEARS of fighting to get it off the record. With insurance you could pay that out and be done by then.

What is the time frame for the breach?  I had a major breach in 2017, don't have any way to back up my time dealing with it though.

I already have free monitoring through 2026 via OPM breach so seems like a no brainer to me.

"Based on the information you provided, our records indicate that your personal information was not impacted by this incident. Equifax has worked hard to make the "Am I Impacted" tool as accurate and up-to-date as possible."

I guess that's the best result

I have Credit Karma and I’m not overly impressed with them. Sometimes my credit score is accurate, sometimes it is off by 50 points. They often post updates to my credit report several weeks or even months after they occur.

But it is free, it’s better than doing nothing and hoping your credit is OK, which is what a lot of people do.

The score is an estimate. They can’t give you an accurate score without a hard inquiry which would ding your credit a few points every time it’s done. Mine is usually a few points higher than what they show. What I like about it is the notifications you get when something happens. If a new card were opened under my name I’d know about it.

FSA takes money that people paid involuntarily in taxes.

Equifax is an international multi-billion dollar publicly traded company (symbol EFX) that pays dividends.  The settlement is a drop in a bucket, and it will come out of the pockets of their paying customers and/or shareholders.  It's "asshole tax" for them failing to exercise proper care with peoples' personal financial data.

Credit monitoring should be fucking free for the subsidized racketeering scheme these companies have set up with my government.

It’s a gosh damn automated  notification that probably costs them nothing but electricity and a few lines of code.
