I actually don't think taking the monitoring is a bad idea. The $125 will not amount to much and he knew that. The monitoring does include some type of identity theft insurance I believe which could actually end up costing Equifax a lot more.

Since the settlement amount was fixed, I don't see any reason the the ftc to encourage not taking it for the wrong reasons.

Too bad the total amount is fixed. I don't care about the $125. I want them to lose a substantial amount of money so that they and everybody else start taking this more seriously.

The insurance has to be some kind of joke, they lost the data. The thing they were insuring against has already happened.
