The thing most of us feared the most when we heard about the Equifax breach, that personal financial data would be stolen in order to obtain debt fraudulently, is now happening. Consumers from every state are reporting misuse of their information from everything ranging to opening store credit cards to applying for home loans, and a class action lawsuit has been filed to address the issue. If you are not sure if you are part of the class, you need to examine your accounts for suspicious activity and put a freeze on your Equifax file. You can also freeze your file at TransUnion and Experian, the other big two reporting and data gathering agencies. If things have gone so far that you have been sued by an unknown creditor for an account you did not open, call us for help before the matter spirals out of control.
