Yeah, I'm still waiting for the link to complete my enrollment. I'm really freaking annoyed at this whole thing.

Yiiiiiiiiiikes! 

I'll take a free lifetime subscription to myfico monitoring, and a free lifetime freeze/unfreeze option whenever I want! lol

Just when we thought Equifax couldn't get any worse...

Anyone else think that for a breach of this size, one year of the TrustedID is not nearly long enough. Compromised data such as this can be floating around out there for years.  It is not necessary acted on by criminals in the first 365 days.  We could become victims years from now.  I think they should have made this two to three years, at the least.

Totally agree. I'm going to put all my reports on ice, and DH is too. This will keep us safe, and help keep me in the garden club.

Notice that they waited a month before telling anyone. Also notice the news dump during a category 5 hurricane. They have the worst customer service of the CRB's. I hope they go bankrupt and it gets listed on their credit report!!! I hope they go out of business.

Could not agree more. Horrible company. Hope they sink like the Titanic (they won't, though).
