    I've got a question which is related to Equifax, but not specific to this question/thread. I haven't done a credit rating check on myself in several years, but I know that other companies do that for their own research, like when I apply for a loan or some companies do that when you're applying for a job. Is there any way to find out if your personal information is on the 143 million that were compromised?

    Just assume it is. I wouldn't trust that they know exactly what was and wasn't released.

    At this point, I think Equifax is basically saying "your data was stolen."  I know the wife and I took the steps to freeze our credit reports with all three of the companies (Equifax, Transunion, and whatever the other one is,) normally there's a fee to do this unless you have proof your identity was stolen and used.

    Equifax didn't charge either of us, which says something right there.
