Don’t forget to register for your $125 from equifax if you qualify (attorney, cost)

I just did. What a ^%$#! fiasco. And the lawyers win, as usual.

I had a feeling they would ask for proof

Just think, all those people gave them contact information in hopes of a few bucks payout. That information is worth anywhere from $10 to $50 when sold and rented to mailing lists and the fine folks that do robo calls. What was that quote from P.T. Barnum?

First time I feel stupid, haven’t feel this way for a long time.

This offer 125 bucks or monitoring was about limiting their liability not just tossing out free cash to anyone who wanted it

Website says the amount could be less than $125, it will depend on how many people sign up for it.

I’m well aware

I'm not worried about the compensation. If I get $5, fine. If it's less than that, fine. Whatever. When the breach happened I certainly had no expectation of being compensated. I proactively put a freeze on my account on all the credit bureaus back when it was first disclosed and then as time passed the memory of the breach receded, while my frozen accounts stay frozen. It's easy enough to unfreeze them for a day if I need to.

Doesn't surprise me that most choose the $125 payout over the 10 years of credit monitoring. I think the 10 years of credit monitoring vastly outweighs the value of the $125. But that's just me.
