OLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Customers affected by Equifax credit monitoring agency’s 2017 data breach may be eligible for another payment.
Roughly 147.9 million Americans were affected by the breach, which compromised users’ names, Social Security numbers, birthdays, driver’s license numbers, and 200,000 credit card numbers. In 2022, Equifax offered affected Americans $125 or 10 years of free credit monitoring, although some customers reported receiving less than their share. Now, Equifax is opening its pockets once more to fund affected customers.
According to an email obtained by Nexstar’s WCMH from JND Legal Administration, the court-appointed settlement administrator, remaining funds from the Consumer Restitution Fund will be distributed to eligible customers.
