Maybe Equifax and the FTC should do their job better, instead of advising people what to do, then we wouldn't be in this mess.
The FTC should remember they work for us, not for Equifax.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure these law firms work for free until it's paid out. It's not cheap and you have to punish the company somehow for making mistakes.

Even if your identity was stolen, good luck filing a claim with their "insurance". I can only imagine the hoops you would have to jump through to get a settlement.
