Does anyone know whether this is a legitimate lawsuit or if it is actually a credit reporting agency scam?

Question

It is a newspaper ad about a class action suit against Trans Union. Details are available at: https://www.listclassaction.com/claim/

I ask because of the offer of 6 or 9 months of "credit monitoring services" and "a possible cash payment". It seems the credit monitoring service is what they want victims to receive.

Answer 1

I think its legit....I once was involved in a class action lawsuit with Trans Union....I think I got something like $60 when the lawsuit was over.

Answer 2

It's entirely legitimate, for once.

Answer 3

It's absolutely legitimate.

TransUnion violates the rights of 8 out of 10 consumers and people have had enough.

Unfortunately, the cash payment will probably only end up being a couple of dollars, but at least you get some free credit monitoring.

Answer 4

you might want to contact someone invalved with the law maybe your laywer if you have one or if you know any law students

Answer 5

Scam!!!  Scam!!!  Scam!!!

If they want to offer something for nothing, they are completely prepared to deliver nothing for something.  If you get a $20 check to sign up for a $14.99 credit trial, you'll spend that whole $20 by your second invoice.

Answer 6

YES, this is true!!

This class action suit has not been setteled yet and it will not pay anybody enough to go out and buy that boat they have had their eye on!!!

The settlement, which still awaits final review in federal court, would cover some 160 million consumers in the United States. It's thought to be the largest number of class action plaintiffs ever included in a single case.

Consumers would get either six months of basic credit reporting services -- which normally retails for $59.75 -- plus a cash payment. Or they could choose nine months of enhanced service, which includes a mortgage rate simulator and an insurance score.

Hope this answers your question.
