When will I get my benefits?
The settlement administrator will not send out any benefits until they are allowed to do so by the court, which will be January 23, 2020, at the earliest. We will update this page, and send email updates, when we have more information. Looks like they are having server issues for some strange reason. I guess people like free money and stuff.

I want $125 but I don't want to enter my info on a random site.

I normally hate class actions and explicitly opt out of them when given the chance, but this one is an exception. For one thing, I have actual damages as a result of it - I did sign up for credit monitoring as a result of this crap, and have spent a decent amount of time verifying that nothing is out of place. For another... they were extremely negligent not only in allowing the breach to happen the way it did, but in how they responded to it. They took months to make it public, their C-suite started selling stock days after it was discovered and long before it was made public, they published a fucking Wordpress site to see if you were impacted... and they accidentally linked phishing sites in multiple tweets about the breach by mistake.
Fuck Equifax. I applied for the $125, plus another $120 in time spent dealing with it. I don't really have a paper trail handy for the time spent, but it said that under 10 hours might not require it. I claimed an hour to set up credit monitoring and 15 minutes per month since then to go out and check on them and make sure I wasn't being targeted. I won't push back hard if the lawyers reject that time, but I'm being honest about it. |

I've already had my identity stolen once and it was not fun. I'm on the list and going with the free monitoring. Looks like a good deal.

My info was compromised. I wonder if I should get the monitoring or collect 125$ 125 isn't going me too far besides some ammo. |

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. View Quote |

WOOT - 10 yrs credit monitoring for free - thank you OP (no homo)

If that was after May 2017 and you were impacted, I'd claim all of it. The terms of the settlement allow for $20 / hour in compensation. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

You do know that when you filled out that info that you were leaving the FTC sight and did any of you actually read the disclaimer?,,did you?

Thanks OP. Got my 125 coming. I commit to spending it exclusively on ammo.

I'm in. That $125 will keep me on MLK BLVD for at least half a day...

Dang it, “not affected”, no one ever wants to give me free money
|
|
Just filled mine out. Spent many hours on the phone with Sun Trust trying to prove to them I did not open an account and that it was fraud.
|
|
My data was breached, so I was affected, but I've had no events relating to it and spent no time or money relating to it.
So I'll get the minimum. Whatever that is. I should get something because I'm still an affected client. Damages. |
|
Wife and I affected. $250 heading our way, maybe. Did anyone read how long it'll take to receive payment?
|
|
|
I did the free credit monitoring. What’s $125 if your credit goes to shit?
Thanks OP! |

Bunch of FSA in this thread. View Quote 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. |

Don't forget to document any time spent as a result of the data breach. Up to 10 hours does not require documentation. Like time spent checking your credit history every month. I did that for about 20 months after the reported breach in Sept 2017. Took about a half hour per time to go through the information. My wife did the same.

Trying to figure out how I go back and edit mine to claim time.
|

Note it says UP TO $125. Id bet the up to is when they see 100 million people signed up and the dont have the cash to cover the spread - that then probably averages.
Id take the monitoring if you dont have it. |
