I got the email. I get a free service though Discovercard that uses Experian. I just listed discovercard as offering the service.

102

Thanks for mentioning that the claim number is at the top of the email! I totally missed that. I typed in CreditWise. We’ll see what happens!

103

What is the subject heading if this email you all are receiving? I delete a lot of unfamiliar junk so I might have deleted it!

104

Your Equifax Claim: You Must Act by October 15, 2019 or Your Claim for Alternative Compensation Will Be Denied

105

Duhhh!! Claim Number in big huge font on the top of the email! OK, I updated my claim with my Credit Monitoring Service

We can’t let Equifax get away with with a “murder” :slight_smile:

Per https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/faq - all the way at the bottom, a letter would go to:

…your objection letter must be postmarked no later than 11/19/2019, to the following address:

Equifax Data Breach Class Action Settlement Administrator
Attn: Objection
c/o JND Legal Administration
P.O. Box 91318
Seattle, WA 98111-9418

Today I applied for $100 from the yahoo class action settlement. Same idea - choose credit monitoring or $100. You must have had a yahoo email account during a particular time period.

109

I guess you couldn’t do both?

110

@kiddie - whats the link to the yahoo clss action ?

111

Hmm. Yahoo. I am part of that class but i set up that email account only to use with Facebook and it doesn’t have my real info nor do I want Yahoo to have it. I think I’ll stay out of this one.

NM, I found the link.

114

Ah, just saw your post-- thanks :slight_smile:

115

Thanks—never knew there was a yahoo class action—I had a yahoo account during that time period. I have duly filed a claim. Will see if I get anything.

Equifax used ‘admin’ as username and password for sensitive data: lawsuit

Wow, don’t you love them!

Lovely. Remember that scene from the Incredibles?

118

For the Yahoo claim, do you receive a confirmation of filing? I’ve filled out the form and it just seems to ‘sit’ there even after I hit submit. It says you were supposed to watch a video but that option didn’t come up either.

@kiddie thanks for your help.

119

I don’t think I got a confirmation from Yahoo.

120

I sent them a question but I doubt I’ll receive a reply. I sent one to Equifax too and never received an answer.
