9 Months Free

Here's an opportunity you might not want to miss. As settlement in a class-action lawsuit against Transunion (one of the three major credit bureaus), you can sign up to receive 9 months of free enhanced credit monitoring. Everyone who had a credit file open between January 1987 and May 28, 2008 (most adults) qualifies. When you go to the website and sign up, they will let you know when the settlement is completed and you can begin your free 9 months. You have the choice of this, or 6 months of credit monitoring with the possibility of a cash settlement. After studying it, it appears the amount of cash would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $2.50, so I opted to go for the 9 months. With the enhanced credit monitoring, you will be able to check your credit and your Transunion credit score anytime during the 9 months. The article I read also suggested you sign up your children. If they don't have a credit file, they will be rejected. But you need to know if anyone is using their identity.

To sign up: www.listclassaction.com or call the Transunion settlement number at 1-866-416-3470.

Now, I wish I could figure out how to get 9 months of time free!
