Equifax wants global peace. Class lawyers and settlement administrators want a big payday (in cash, not credit monitoring). The judge wants the case off his docket. No one represents the interests of the class. Class action lawsuits aren’t designed to further the interests of the class. They are designed to encourage ad hoc, profit driven, independent regulators. Whether this is a good idea or not is a tough question (I lean towards no) but if you aren’t clear on what the system is trying to do you will certainly find it confusing and frustrating.
