Is it really so hard? Cost of a service like Equifax's own TrustedID or LifeLocks is over $100/year. Seems you could easily argue that you'd have to subscribe to said service for the next decade to guarantee your credit and identity aren't stolen?
(and I would think refusing to accept Equifax's "coupon" for TrustedID would be a similarly easy argument to make)
- chii 9y ago> to guarantee your credit and identity aren't stolen? there's no right to not having your identity not stolen tho. By this logic, shouldn't you _always_ have the identity-theft prevention service paid for already, regardless of what happened to equifax? I think you'd have to show _actual_ identity theft occurring with your name to claim damages.
- yeahsure 9y agoNo, now you need to sign up for identity-theft protection because Equifax handed all your info to the bad guys. If it weren't for Equifax, anyone trying to use your identity would have a much harder time.
