What a coincidence about the timing of the Equifax stock sale.
A few days after this news came out, I put a freeze on my credit reports with the big 3 credit agencies. Now I have to remember to keep the PIN numbers for each of the 3 agencies in a safe place when I need to have my credit report unfrozen for some reason.
And going forward I have to be more diligent about getting my credit reports from the big 3 every 4 months on a rotating schedule.
I read some of the comments to this FTC article. One commenter never heard of Equifax, another commenter said he or she never signed up for Equifax. Hard to believe someone over the age of 30 has no knowledge of how credit agencies operate. And for the commenter who said "go back to using cash, send money orders to pay all bills, get off the grid" -- that's really not a workable solution for most of us.
