Credit Card Settlement
Massive TransUnion Settlement To Reveal Credit Scores [Class Actions]
Violated cardholders can select from two options:
(1) Basic relief. Free credit monitoring for six months, which gives you daily access to your credit report and credit score and 24-hour credit-monitoring service. This normally costs $59.75. Those who elect this option may get a cash payment if there’s money left from the $75 million settlement fund.
(2) Enhanced relief. An alternative enhanced set of services” in exchange for a full release of claims. This options includes nine months credit monitoring, a suite of insurance scores and TransUnion’s mortgage simulator service. This option normally would cost $115.50. You won’t be entitled to any cash payment under this option.
Option 1 could generate cash, but option 2 might provide your actual credit score, depending on which news outlet you believe. Option 2 has the potential to be worth significantly more to the average consumer.
Even better: "Under the settlement, a credit card number would not be required to sign up for either service. After the free service ends, TransUnion could not charge for an extension unless it was requested by the consumer."
The settlement still needs to be approved, but if it is, it'll be a huge win for consumers.
Ken McEldowney, executive director of Consumer Action, a national advocacy group based in San Francisco, called the settlement mind-boggling.
"It's everything we tell consumers that they need to find out if they have problems with their credit," he said. "They are getting information on how to improve it and information about whether they are creditworthy. This is astonishing."
You can start filing claims on June 16 at the settlement website, or by calling (866) 416-3470.

A Black Man
Why is it that a Black Man can create an instrument (clock-Benjamin Banneker) that all people use to tell time, but people don't think it is time for him to run a country.
Why is it that a Black Man can design a place for the high authorities to meet in & a place for the President to live in (The Capital & the White House) (Phillip Reid-a slave & Pierre L'Enfant), but is not good enough to lead these meetings or live in himself.
Why is it that a Black Man was brilliant enough to do the first open heart surgery (Dr. Daniel Hale Williams) and show the world how to get and preserve plasma (Dr. Charles Drew), but not good enough to put a program in place where everyone can afford this surgery.
Why is it that a Black Man was creative enough to design an instrument (traffic light-Garrett Morgan) To bring multiple people (traffic) to a halt, but not seen creative enough to design a plan to bring all this unnecessary and worthless Fighting between countries to an end.
Why is it that a Black Man could create the soles (shoes-Jan Matzeliger) that people Walk on everyday? But not seen good enough to fill the shoes of a bad president.
Why is it that a Black Man was smart enough & brave enough to teach himself (Fredrick Douglas & Thomas Fuller-both slaves) and others how to read, write and/or calculate math, but not seen (as) smart enough and bold enough to calculate a platform to be President to a country That sure needs another first by us
So you see my Brothers and Sisters what I am saying is let us not forget our past, which led us to our present and can definitely be the backbone to our future. We were good enough, smart enough, creative enough, and bold enough then, so Lets all give Obama the chance to show that we are still these things and more. We all are as strong as our weakest link, so don't be that
weak link that denies Our people that chance to show we still can OVERCOME & BE THE FIRST..........
