Settlement Status
Several individuals who objected to the settlement have appealed the Court’s decision to approve the settlement. By order of the Court, the settlement cannot become final until all appeals are resolved and there is currently no timeline for resolution of these appeals. No settlement benefits will be distributed or available until the appeals are resolved and the settlement becomes final.
On January 13, 2020, the Court granted final approval to the class action settlement, and amended that Order on March 17, 2020. The Settlement Class is defined as: the approximately 147 million U.S. Consumers identified by Equifax whose personal information was compromised as a result of the cyberattack and data breach announced by Equifax, Inc. on September 7, 2017.
We are unable to respond to questions concerning membership in the Settlement Class or the status of any Claim submitted to the Settlement Administrator. For information about the class action settlement and to review certain court-filed documents, please visit the Court-authorized website for the settlement at www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com. We urge you to visit that website periodically for updated information.
