Equifax Data Breach

The firm encourages consumers to follow these steps:

• check whether you were impacted: https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/potential-impact/
• check your credit reports now -- this data breach happened several months ago; an ID thief may have stolen your information already and used it to access credit in your name
  • free reports are available at annualcreditreport.com
• if your reports do not show any unfamiliar accounts, continue to check your credit reports on a regular basis
• if you do find unfamiliar accounts on your report, contact us immediately
  • our firm can guide you through the dispute process
  • when that process fails, we represent consumers -- on a contingency basis -- to obtain a permanently corrected report and compensation.
