You may be eligible to receive a benefit from a class action settlement if you purchased, you or a third party paid for, and you received a credit score, credit monitoring, or other offering from a TransUnion or TrueLink website (truecredit.com, transunion.com, transunioncs.com, knowyourloanrate.com and freecreditprofile.com) between December 1, 1999 and April 16, 2007.

I just got an email with all the information in the link. I didn't read the whole thing but if the settlement is approved you will get 3 months free credit monitoring service. I actually had problems before with Truecredit.com not canceling my subscription when I called them, they continued to charge my account. A quick call to my lawyer took car of that.

Do you have to sign up and give them a credit card number, then cancel after 3 months?

Are you talking about the Authentication Form? If so, you don't have to give them anything other then your name and address. The free Three months they are talking about is part of the settlement with those companies, instead of having to go to court and deal with all of that.

When I first got TrueCredit.com I got three months free when I signed up.

I'm guessing so. I was notified of the same deal for Experian. What a scam. The lawyers get 4 million bucks and you get 3 months of free credit monitoring... which you will then have to cancel or you'll automatically start getting charged.

Sounds like $4 million is a fair commission by the number of people that will get taken by this one.

I'd like to sue the damn lawyers!

In the one I got, you HAD to opt out or give up your rights. And you had to do so in writing... but you could be included by email. What bone headed judge buys off on something like this??? I'm sure he's getting a cut of that settlement.

If the law firm is getting 4 million, it is costing them at least 3 million for operational expenses. Class Actions cost an incredible amount of money. My uncle is one of those type of lawyers, 30yrs old, within 5yrs he will have more money then he knows what to do with.

What's his number, I got a few ideas for it.
