What happened with the Equifax settllement?

I opted for the free credit monitoring but have never been contacted.  I haven't seen anything about it on this forum , was I asleep or has it been delayed?

Objections to the Court's approval of the Settlement terms have been filed and are slated to be heard in April.

If there's someone who suffered material actual damages as a consequence of the breach (and one would imagine that there were), it would be a very sorry thing if they didn't exclude themselves from the settlement class.

I wonder how many of these people there actually were, as a percentage of total consumers who had their records exposed.

Dont worry they will send you a few peanuts when the courts decide the fate, while the lawyers handlings the case will get rich.
