    I read “free credit monitoring” as allowing your name to get on another list to be sold.

      Don’t worry. Their is a service that monitors your information that you give credit monitors. You just have to give them your information.

        And I’m sure they’ll delete it in two years so you’re not included in the breach 3 years from now 🙄

        Just freeze your credit. It is the simplest and easiest solution. It sucks, but it seems to be the best utensil to eat the shit sandwich we’ve been fed.

          It doesn’t even suck that bad. Last time I had to unlock mine, I saw that the previous unlocking had been two years earlier. Each time I have to do it, I set an end date and it automatically relocks. Whole process takes maybe 10 minutes for the big 3 credit bureaus.
