I may have banked up to $125 by filling out this Equifax claim in seconds-what are you waiting for?

"I, and an ever-increasing number of CNBC workers, went the route of claiming a flat cash payout of $125 after we verified our eligibility.

You can claim that flat amount if you already have credit monitoring in place."

I may have banked up to $125 by filling out this Equifax claim in seconds — what are you waiting for?

I was eligible and I have credit monitoring in place.

Im not so sure about this..

Giving the last 6 digits of your SS number is close to telling then the whole thing.

Is this legit?

They were breached. They already had my information. I wasn’t giving them something they didn’t already have. That’s why they have to pay me $125.

Equifax Data Breach Settlement

You can choose 125 if a settlement is reached, or you can get free credit monitoring for years to come. It appears if you have any kind of credit score with Equifax, your information was stolen.

I froze all my credit immediately when this happened.

Those hoping to cash in on the massive Equifax settlement might be out of luck, thanks to AOC.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted a call for those affected by the 2017 data leak to make a claim, saying they could get $125 — “a nice chunk of change.”

But only $31 million has been earmarked for the payments, and the more who file claims, the less each person gets.

If all 147 million entitled to money request it, they would get just 21 cents apiece.

Not really surprised. As the Bible says,
“The rich rules over the poor” - Proverbs‬ ‭22:7‬a ESV‬‬

Any limit to receiving the $125 should have been stated up front, not buried in fine print.

The $125 is not a big deal to me financially but it would be to a lot of people.
