Just one of the many things wrong with the legal system.

Posted by Bacon (aka Redmond) Aug 8 '19, 14:59

My data gets hacked from Experian, and I can get $125 dollars OH but wait. Too many people are going after that so if I do that I will get 30-70 dollars maybe? A company who's job is to keep and give companies a credit rating on me gave all my information to a hacker. Shouldn't I be getting a few thousand or more for that kind of recklessness?

Now up the street from me there is an ARCO AMPM and I go there one day buy a 44oz Soda and a candy bar. I don't have cash so I use my debit card. On the debit machine it says we charge .25 cents for you to use your debit card. Okay that sucks but I am not driving elsewhere to grab the same shit to save a quarter.

A year goes by and I get a class action settlement for $91.94 for that single .25 charge they gouged me. I just got the check today.

I would expect Experian to give me several thousand compensation, and Arco up the street to give me 5 bucks, 10 bucks for taking a quarter from me

maybe your data's out there in the hands of some hacker, but at this point if it hasn't been used, it probably won't be. so you didn't suffer any real - mafic Aug 8, 19:32
$30 million of the $700 million is going to people who were hacked. Lawyers always get huge fees on class action suits. -- nm - jnine Aug 8, 16:37

if you can show your info was used to defraud, and can trace it to info from experian, you could pull out of the class action and file your own... - zeitgeist Aug 8, 15:01
Equifax should've been taken down to the floorboards and sold for scrap. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 15:01
