How To Get Your Money From Equifax Settlement
You know the big credit bureau Equifax has to pay out some $700 million because of a data breach. Well, now you could get paid IF you are eligible.
However, first things first. You have to find out if you’re even eligible. An estimated 147 million Americans are entitled to a portion of nearly $425 million in compensation from Equifax’s massive data breach back 2017.
Here’s how you find out if you are eligible. Enter your last name and last six digits of your Social Security number in a website operated by the settlement administrator — that’s NOT Equifax. It will determine if your personal information was affected by the data theft. If it was, then you can file a claim.
You can make a claim for compensation and upload any supporting documents online at https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/. This is the only official website.
