Um - credit bureaus are private businesses. The only role government could have in this case is to rein in the credit bureaus. Which I devoutly hope they will do.
They have way too much control and you talk about Big Brother is watching, they see everywhere you spend and sell your information. There is a lot more going on than how you pay your mtg.
I think some of the customer services are overseas as well. I hope the stick them on the wall . They are really intrusive - in people's lives.
So is a class action lawsuits being started? If so how do we jump on board? It's about time our overlords faced some justice.
A class action will only serve to make some lawyers obscenely wealthy. It will do NOTHING to help or punish the corporation, the laws should/will take care of that.
A single lawsuit would be vastly more successful...

Can you imagine what will happen if/when the "cashless society,all transactions online only" group(s) get their way?

666 is on the horizon. Take the mark or die.
Revelation 13
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Makes no sense at all. A single lawsuit bought by whom? For the benefit of whom? A group of people suing is a class action law suit. That group ~ arguably would have been affected. In this case, millions were affected.
So the 143MM individuals who were/are affected by this breach should each sue on their own merits? How would that even work? Depending on any individual's damages now and in the future?

I actually should have said that a single lawsuit would have the same effect as a class action except it wouldn't be making a bunch of attorneys very wealthy. It'd still draw in the Feds, still obtain a verdict with a huge penalty and still get plenty of news coverage.
Wrong. The TOU only applies to their products that you use.
You can input your info to see if your data was stolen without having to sign up.
I did it 5 times...3 maybe, 1 yes and 1 no. Then it asks you to sign up for your free 1 year monitoring.
You don't waive anything for just trying to find out. But you may get multiple answers like I did.
Good to hear but 70 billion is not nearly enough. Freaking half the country had their identity and personal financial information stolen. Your sense of security and privacy is priceless, and this company completely destroyed all that. How much is fair compensation to each of the 140 million people who had their most private and personal information stolen from them? 70 billion is just a start. They will be paying ten times as much when all is said and done.

Geeze. I did mine three times, but only because I'm compulsive that way, and it came up no all three times. I also did it for my parents and they also came back no, but I only did it once for each for them. Now I'm going to have to call them back and get their numbers and do it again, and they're going to freak out about it. They are fairly computer illiterate and this kind of stuff scares the heck out of them.
