    I am going to remember that phrase “torts cooking in ovens” for future use. I will not credit you, bae, but your words will live on, and that should be reward enough! Haha.

    I do like a good turn of phrase.

    One woman took a decidedly different approach. She sued equifax in small claims court and got a $600 decision in her favor. Imagine if even just a few thousand people took that approach e havoc it would cause equifax from a defense standpoint.

    So are folks going for the cash compensation or the 10 years of credit monitoring?

    I thought no checks were going out until at least January?

    So sorry! I made a mistake. Went and looked at check stub and it was from some other settlement, having to do with a student loan and a bank that handled it.

    Went for the cash. I already have credit monitoring and the less I have to do with EquiLax the better I will feel.

    I'm going for the cash. Since I froze all three credit bureaus there's nothing to monitor.

    And the freeze actually works. I tried to sign up for a Southwest Airlines affiliated card because they were offering a stupid amount of miles and I got a letter a few days later informing me that they couldn't offer me a card because they were unable to access my credit report. I could have unfroze it, had them retry, and then refroze it, but I decided I didn't really need the card or the miles so I just let it go.

    In case you were wondering about your Equifax payout, our whole country is run for the benefit of large banks and corporations.

    As an aside, these same corporate interests/donors shut down Warren and got Biden the nomination. Many of them are registered in the state of Delaware and he has always looked out for them.

    I ended up going for a report alert rather than a freeze.


    Supposedly if someone tries to open a new account they will report that to me.
