Title: Equifax and BTC, v 2 Post by: OROBTC on September 18, 2017, 07:28:00 PM ...
I started a thread on this topic earlier today, but it seems to have gotten lost (?), so I post it again looking for comments: I don't have the information handy (links) to do a "Security Freeze" (lock your credit information from any Equifax, Experian and TransUnion customers checking your credit), but below I do provide mailing addresses (we started the process to freeze all three of our accounts Friday and Saturday). Nor do I have their 800 numbers. The companies are making it HARD to freeze your accounts... I am interested in your comments on how the data breach will affect BTC prices (my guess is it will encourage more people to get into the Bitcoin Ecosystem). What say you all? * * * Addresses by regular mail (all three companies would not allow me into their online ways to freeze, probably overloaded their computers): Equifax Security Freeze P. O. Box 105788 Atlanta, GA 30348 Experian Security Freeze P. O. Box 9554 Allen, TX 75013 TransUnion LLC P. O. Box 2000 Chester, PA 19016 All three have extensive documentation requirements and in most states they charge ($10 per freeze per company in my state, so that would be $60 to freeze them all for a married couple, highly recommended). My bank recommended that anyone at "high risk" of Identity Theft freeze the accounts... EDIT: Anyone interested in joining a lawsuit I am exploring with a lawyer I know please PM me with any interest. Note that I cannot guarantee that I can answer if overwhelmed.... |
