To everyone who applied for the $125, you are what is wrong with America. You compromised your morals and sold your dignity for a “free” $125. Now, you are getting a fraction of that. How’s it feel? Go wait in line for your government cheese while posting online about welfare queens and food stamp abuse. The lawyers love you.
They lost sensitive financial information about 147 million people. I question wether or not they should even be allowed to continue doing business if they are that careless.
Yet you think they don't owe us a meesly $125 for failing so terribly? Frick you moron. The people who applied for the $125 were told by Equifax that their data was lost.
You are acting as if the people that applied weren't effected. In that case you would have an argument.

Most "credit monitoring" is at a single bureau.

To add to this, there are 327 million people in the US. Census estimates for 2017 say 252 million of that 327 million are adults.
That means nearly 60% of the US population over the age of 18 had their data breeched. If you're in a group of 5 people, 3 had their data breached. That's insane.

Hold on
So they settled on a 700 million claim but only set aside 31?
where did the other 670 million go??

Add in that not one person consented to them having said info and my opinion is no, they should no longer be allowed to exist as an example going forward.

100% sure the problem here is some organization got my info, was supposed to keep it secure, did not keep secure. They were compromised, not me.

My information was stolen so I was given options to choose from. I selected the payment option. You are what is wrong by posting.
Unfortunately so did everyone else. Basically it looks like instead of $125, everyone that chooses this will get a percentage of $31 million. The FTC website said they already had over a million sign up in the first week. I guess I'll have to change to the free credit monitoring and $1,000,000 identity theft insurance when they send the "Please change to monitoring e-mail".
It's still appalling that only $31 million out of $425 million will be used to for cash payout.
I'm curious about where the $125 amount even came from.

All without your consent!
I think they owe us all much more than $125. Instead this was all decided by a few lawyers in a back room. It was such a light punishment I don't think much changed in the industry. Here you have capital one a few years later doing the same thing. Someone needs to be made an example of.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - If you filed a claim to receive a $125 payout from Equifax as part of its settlement with the Federal Trade Commission, the FTC has bad news for you — it’s likely that no one will be getting $125.

I was honest as this credit breach really didn’t impact me so I didn’t take the $125. Y’all are some greedy, lying, cheating mofo’s and can split my share.
Somebody didn’t read what he signed up for.
The $125 was supposed to be for anyone who’s data was breached, regardless of the outcome.
