unreal! who would have thought! :?:

Are you an Equifax breach victim? You could give up right to sue to find out

and i usually check out the fine print but it never dawned on me i'd be giving up rights just by checking :facepalm: let's hope schneiderman gets his way ;)

Eric Schneiderman @AGSchneiderman


This language is unacceptable and unenforceable. My staff has already contacted @Equifax to demand that they remove it. https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/906178254331142144 …

Senator calls on Equifax to end ‘forced arbitration’

“It’s shameful that Equifax would take advantage of victims by forcing people to sign over their rights in order to get credit monitoring services they wouldn’t even need if Equifax hadn’t put them at risk in the first place,” Brown, a Democrat, said in his statement. “If Equifax is genuine about wanting to protect customers, it must remove forced arbitration immediately from TrustedID and any other services offered to victims of the data breach.”

On Twitter, the senator said: “Now it’s (Equifax) pushing credit monitoring w/a fine-print arbitration clause that requires victims to give up their right to seek justice in court.”

The arbitration clause, as quoted in part by Brown’s office, tells users they must agree that “all claims, disputes, or controversies raised by either you or TrustedID, Inc. arising from or relating to the subject matter of this agreement or the products … shall be finally settled by arbitration.”

A message seeking comment was sent to Equifax spokespeople.

FWIW, I called Equifax and let them know how I feel about them. I spoke to three different reps in two departments. It wasn't pretty... ;)

Laterz.
