After attorney's fees and such, what's leftover for everyone who had their data slurped from Equifax?

The average person might get a check for two dollars each, if they're "lucky".

I've got BIG plans for my Equifax payout. I'm making a list of all the things you can still buy for $0.27 these days.

imho, Equifax should not exist moving forward. They have breached the trust of keeping private data safe and secure.

As an American that had data exposed, I do not want any service from them. I want ALL of my data they have on me to be deleted. They cant be trusted. I will take their $$, but I'd rather have all my data removed. Is this an option?

Don't forget we aren't their customers and we can't opt out.
