By enrolling in the free "Identity Theft Protection" you waive your right to "PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION"

  How can they prove it was me who waived that right if the data used to identify me was breached by them and potentially publicly available? The snake is eating it's own tail here...

    Great point. In my case, after entering the information on the "Potential Impact" page, it immediately informed me I was enrolled without actually informing me whether or not I was impacted! It basically looks like Equifax used their massive fuckup to generate business for a service they own that by its nature incentivizes them to have poor security to encourage people to stay subscribed! Given the number of incidents that have at this point affected nearly every person in at least the US, what value does the data held by the big 3 have? Almost anyone can claim that any information held by Equifax now was the result of fraud. And how does Equifax prove that data wasn't modified in their systems by an intruder?

  If by that you mean one waives the right to sue Equifax over the data breach, that’s not what it says by my reading. “Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all claims, disputes, or controversies raised by either You or TrustedID, Inc. arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the Products (“Claim” or “Claims”) shall be finally settled by arbitration” But IANAL.
