Equifax, the giant credit reporting firm, allowed access, because of a data breach, to more than 147 million people's information. Now they're trying to ease the pain by offering cash settlements, or paying for credit reporting.
The only glitch: You need to apply for this on their settlement website.
Cash settlements may be as much as $125 -- or less, depending on how many people apply for it. (How do you know if you were affected? You don't -- unless you know that your identity was stolen already. Just apply.)
Why not put in your claim? It takes just a minute -- and who knows. Payout probably won't be until January 2020, though.
