The FAQ is really condescending and almost sounds deliberately written to make people angry.
- duskwuff 7y agoThe FAQ is written by the FTC, not by Equifax. They have no need to sugarcoat the situation. :)
- bananocurrency 7y agoThey aren't sugarcoating -- they are actively encouraging otherwise and taking a stance on the matter. It's disingenuous to the consumer.
- ars 7y ago> It's disingenuous to the consumer. How is it disingenuous? If the numbers are to be believed people would get checks for under $1. So I'm pretty sure they will be, as the FTC says "disappointed with the amount they receive". It's actually good advice, (absent raising the payment pool).
- pera 7y agoI seriously had to double check the URL in the address bar because I thought I was reading another FAQ from Equifax: > The free credit monitoring provides a much better value > You can still choose the cash option on the claim form, but you will be disappointed with the amount you receive and you won’t get the free credit monitoring. The wording is just so... it seems to be coming directly from Equifax's PR department.
