TransUnion was sued for selling people's private information. They settled out of court for $75 Million but still won't admit that they did so. The registration website that allows you to select free credit monitoring services or a piece of the cash settlement is here: https://www.listclassaction.com/claim/
Here are zee options:
You can opt for six months of free credit monitoring services, which would give you unlimited access to your TransUnion credit report and credit score, as well as e-mail notification of any changes to your report. If you take this option, you may be entitled to a small cash payment (if there is a cash distribution when the final settlement is approved), and you can file an individual lawsuit against TransUnion.
You can sign up for nine months of the same free services, but then you waive the right to claim any cash and cannot file any further lawsuits against the credit bureau.
The third option is to file for a cash payment only, in which case you waive the right to any of the free services. And there is no guarantee you'll get any cash, as it depends on how much money is left after everything else is paid.
Who is eligible to sign up for benefits? Anyone who had an open credit account (a card, a mortgage, a loan) between Jan. 1, 1987, and May 28, 2008. And isn't that pretty much everybody?
