It's worth noting that the equifaxsecurity2017 website posted the following update yesterday:
"NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS FOR THIS CYBER SECURITY INCIDENT
In response to consumer inquiries, we have made it clear that the arbitration clause and class action waiver included in the Equifax and TrustedID Premier terms of use does not apply to this cybersecurity incident."
- paulgb 9y agoYep, I mention that in the "What's this all about" section. However, I don't know why anyone would want to give up their legal rights, especially to a company that has just proven that they can't keep your data secure.
- gingeruser206 9y agoLate to the party so I wondered about: 1. To confirm whether you were a victim of their "cyber security incident" you have to enter (6) digits of your SSN. Uh ... no. 2. We CAN still sign up for their one year credit-monitoring service and retain the right to legal action. 3. We should think about freezing our credit per FCC: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faqs https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faq...

- QAPereo 9y agoFortunately they publicly stated they would not apply these TOS in this case, and you can bet that will be held against them in court if they tried to mess about with this.
- wglb 9y agoNote the statement by the New York State Attorney General: https://twitter.com/AGSchneiderman/status/906195350532304896 https://twitter.com/AGSchneiderman/status/906195350532304896. Not enforceable.
