I swear I heard somewhere (maybe here or on the news) that when you sign up, you basically sign away your right to go after them if anything happens.

I heard this as well. Dont do it!

tried to follow reddit's advice regarding a TRUE credit report.

0-3

- experian: we are sorry, you need to send us a self-addressed stamped envelope at this time because our online system is offline
- equifax: sorry, we are unable to generate online reports, please send a self-addressed steamped envelope
- transunion: frick you, we're completely offline and won't even allow you to check.

i motherfricking hate these credit companies. they play games and won't even provide the free service the government requires of them.

1) Get a copy of your credit report today.

Regardless of freeze, alert, or regular credit monitoring get your current credit report to keep on file so you can identify anything new that shouldn’t be there in the future.

frick CreditKarma, frick FreeCreditReport, frick all that shite, you want the real stuff.

Annualcreditreport.com (We killed it, Jim. Try again later when not everyone on reddit is trying to access it.)

REEE HAIL CORPORATE PLUGGING THEIR SITE REEEE

No. The Federal Government of the United States requires each of those three credit agencies give you a free copy of your credit report every year and this is the only authorized site to actually collect on that. Usually I’d suggest not getting them all at once but if you can’t afford to keep paying for all this crap then go ahead and pull all three at once. Again, if you’re like me and move around a lot the website may not like you very much. Jump through its stupid hoops to get it mailed if you have to. The credit agencies have to honor your request. Document this shite well.

If you don't believe me see any of the following links. This is the only real free credit report site.

that's a big NOPE. its completely broken.

Worth the small price now to avoid a huge headache later IMO

Has anyone been able to sign up? I have tried 2 days in a row still not getting validation email.

same here, I signed up but I haven't gotten the email.

Well I have three apps tracking my credit movement and I've notified my bank to flag my account for any irregular activity. However, it seems Capital One has already done it for me.

frick me.. another idiot

I say that if a company fricks up my shite, that is their problem and not mine...If I suffer a loss as a result of their frickup, they will have to deal with it.

That's how I feel. I track my credit almost weekly. If something goes off I'm going after them.

Both my wife and I were exposed to the hack

How are you sure about this? I've read in several instances that if you check on the Equifax website, it is giving random generated responses that you were exposed so you'll sign up for the TrustedID service.
