As most of you know, Equifax was breached in July 2017 and the personal information of 147 million Americans was compromised. A class-action lawsuit was filed and Equifax was ordered to pay compensation.

Bottom line, here's a link to file a claim. You can choose additional years of data monitoring or you can choose a cash payment. Here's a link to see if you're eligible for the cash settlement:

FILE A CLAIM

I chose the cash payment and filed a claim for additional time spent monitoring my credit. I figured I spent, on average, about 20 mins per month for 2 years monitoring my credit for fraudulent use. That comes to an additional $200. I probably spent more time than that but have no way to document that.

All the info you need can be accessed thru the above link and associated websites.
