Equifax data breach case decided by SCOTUS

[Hex]

SCOTUS declined to hear the appeal so the lower court's ruling stands. Stupid Equifax actually appealed to The Supreme Court to attempt to stop/delay paying people. Ha!

Look at #9 of FAQs to see more information on credit monitoring/payments. Looks like case was settled on 01/11/22. Credit monitoring to start in late February.

If you asked for cash and you have moved in the last 3 years or so you might want to update your address with them. I

wonder how many people died waiting for their money? Stupid Equifax.

General comment - my experiences with Equifax have rarely been positive.  Not sure what the deal is with them.  Of the three main CRAs - in my opinion and experience - Equifax is by far the worst.  I hope that I am in the overwhelming minority there.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more coverage of this in the media but I found a little more information:

Pure BS and stonewalling no matter what they call procedure.

It should never taken as long as it has for a Final Verdict let alone compensations which only further delay matters.

EQ is pathetic imo. I love how their restitution is... more of their awful products?

In the last week, I received 3 letters from Equifax. One saying I'm not eligible for a new credit report because I've applied within the last year, the second saying I need to submit SSN and address verification documents to get a new credit report, and third of course being my credit report. That does not strike me as the height of competence.

I always wonder just how much incompetence or data loss is happening; that we don't hear about. Of course this was a huge one and one that Equifax really didn't get punished enough for but what else is there?
