Dear J,
We recently sent you an email advising you that, until further notice, we would be extending the free TrustedID® Premier subscription you enrolled in following the September 7, 2017 cybersecurity incident. We are now pleased to let you know that Equifax has chosen Experian®, one of the three nationwide credit bureaus, to provide you with an additional year of free credit monitoring service. This extension is at no cost to you , and you will not be asked to provide a credit card number or other payment information. You have until January 31, 2019 to enroll in this extension of free credit monitoring through IDnotify™, a part of Experian.
Your new product, IDnotify, includes key features for your protection similar to those included in TrustedID Premier:
• 3-Bureau Credit File Monitoring
• $1M Identity Theft Insurance
• Enhanced Internet Scanning for Social Security numbers as well as your email, phone, medical ID, passport, credit card and other personal information
• Experian CreditLock
No action is required from you at this time to take advantage of the extended coverage. If for any reason you do not want to receive this extension, please click here or on the button below within 14 days to opt out.
If you do not opt out, we will share certain personal identifying information of yours with Experian so that they can validate your identity and you can securely enroll in the product.1
If you do not opt out, you will receive additional emails from Equifax in the coming weeks with more details about this free product as well as a link to enroll for the extended coverage.
You will have until January 31, 2019 to enroll. Once you successfully enroll, you will no longer receive TrustedID Premier and your credit monitoring will continue through this new product. We want to reassure you that you will continue to receive credit monitoring service during this transition. However, if you opt out of us sending your personal identifying information to Experian or do not complete enrollment, your TrustedID product will automatically expire on January 31, 2019.

I just received this in my email inbox from TrustedID.

So EQ is going to pay EX to help consumers monitor their credit after EQ's data breach? I guess EQ feels that they are losing too much money offering TrustedID to those affected by the data breach and want to pay EX to offer the service for an additional year. What confuses me is why is EQ offering a competitor the opportunity to provide monitoring at a cost to them, plus risk losing the potential customers when EQ does end the free monitoring? I was hoping that EQ would offer Trusted ID to those affected at a reduced price eventually.
@oldman87 I thought about one of your last posts when I read this email. I am glad you are in the know.
Thanks Medic, I have slowed a little on here but I'm still around.
