It would be ironically perfect if someone breeched this site.

If you want to check your credit try this LINK It's no cost. I use it. You're not asked any information that's harmful. I had a delinquent account with Time Warner I didn't know about. It was killing me. Esperian made me aware. I paid a age old $75.00 delinquent. My credit score went through the roof. I'm monitored and get decrease and increase information periodically.

Wasn't Equifax awarded some government deal around the same time the data breach was revealed? |

Note: The max is $125 I believe. If the number of claims exceeds a certain number, it will be less than that as the “pool” will be evenly divvied up. |

If there were an LG Poster of the Year Award (and why isn't there?) than Governator has my nod.
Thanks to his information, I just got confirmation that my SSN was indeed breached in this incident and more importantly $125.
I think I love you.

Tip if anyone is interested:
In lieu of credit monitoring, you can set up a Fraud Alert on Experian where a creditor will have to call the # you listed in order to verify it is in fact you before approving credit. It lasts for 3 months at a time. Set yourself a reminder and renew it every 3 months. Safest way to avoid someone applying for credit with your info.
Experian will automatically send the info to Equifax and Transunion so it's quite simple. |

This is a good idea.
Also, John Oliver's Last Week Tonight did a show about Equifax a couple of years ago and created a handy website to help you freeze your credit so creditors can't create an account with your SSN without contacting you first:

Yeah. I believe then cutoff for $125 is 248,000 claimants.
So, that comes out to roughly 2.5M claimants for $12.50 and 25M for $1.25. |
