Filing for free credit monitoring service - TransUnion preliminary lawsuit settlement

After reading an article at Kiplinger.com, recently registered for 6-months of free credit monitoring service from Transunion. Transunion is offering it as part of its preliminary lawsuit settlement.

TransUnion agreed to offer free credit monitoring to more than 160 million people as part of a preliminary lawsuit settlement. The suit claims that TransUnion violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by selling lists with consumers' personal and financial information for marketing purposes. TransUnion discontinued that business several years ago.

Anyone who had an open credit account or open line of credit from any lender from January 1, 1987, to May 28, 2008 is eligible to register for the service.

Anyone with a credit card, car loan, mortgage, student loan or any other loan qualifies, which means most adults do.

The deadline to register is September 24 and you have the option to sign up for 9-months of free credit monitoring service, or for 6-months of free credit monitoring service with the option to receiving cash benefits in the event of a cash distribution.
