My wife and I are supposedly impacted. This just makes me not care anymore. Why try to hide information at this point? For the rest of my life my information will be out there. The second I unfreeze my credit should I need to, someone will swoop in and apply for credit in my name. Equifax will not survive the multiple class action suits.
If anything, this needs to kick the government and others in the butt to get a better identity system than the SSN.
They'll come up with a better system. Its called a chip in you. And while it will work to protect your identity, I will not be partaking.My wife and I are supposedly impacted.
