Expecting $125 From Equifax? You’ll Be Disappointed, FTC Says
This article is for subscribers only.
In a major buzz kill for consumers awaiting their checks, the Federal Trade Commission just updated its website with disappointing news: No, you aren’t getting $125 because of the Equifax Inc. data breach.
Less than 24 hours ago, the FTC’s Equifax settlement website stated simply that claimants could file for a $125 payout. By Thursday morning, the page no longer promised $125 and encouraged affected consumers to opt for as much as a decade of free credit monitoring instead.
