In case anyone actually cares and is trying to claim this the “error on our side” nonsense seems to be triggered if you’re using a VPN.
Try reconfiguring or disabling the VPN if you are concerned with claiming this.
I actually don’t have VPN enabled. I won’t bother with it anyway.
Obviously I have no way of knowing every trigger for that message but VPN usage can trigger it for sure so I figured I’d bring it up since I didn’t see it mentioned.
Someone should contact the judge who approved the class action settlement and let him or her know Equifax is putting up barriers to collect the settlement and the company should be held in contempt, with consumers allowed to opt out of the class and sue individually to collect.
Many victims of Equifax’s cheap and negligent security practices resulting in a huge data breach already are giving up on getting paid and will likely not go back.
Problems with consumers getting this small amount owed as class members or onorous data collection requirement amounts from a company shown to be terrible with cybersecurity should result in severe consequences or else it shows the judge doesn’t actually care about the class members and is doing a bad job protecting them. Of course, that’s only if the judge becomes aware of the problem.
Looks like they DENY your attempt to get your money. if only you could DEFEND yourself. it’s cwistmas so sing an oDE POSE as santa or someting.
<.<
“We’ll give you $7.43 to fuck off”
I can’t even fucking redeem them, so I’ll just… fuck off, I guess? 😂
Correct.
<fucks off into the shadows>

You actually got money?
I’ve gotten several of these; all the “pay out” is, is a year’s subscription to an utterly worthless “privacy protection” plan thing from yet another corporate entity making money off my information.
This is the first time in my life (sad how many times they have fucked us and paid us little) that I actually get this much money, and I still can’t claim it. 😂. It has always been one of those “$1.67” checks that I never bothered with. Slaps on the rest need to stop.
I mean, it does suck… But I think it’s pretty based that Canada’s postal workers said “oh, you don’t want to pay us what we deserve? No Christmas this year.”
That’s what I thought, too. Good for them for standing up for themselves
And they got ordered back to work, since fuck them I guess.
I don’t think you can “order” people to go back to work and they’ll just go back if they’re striking. I mean you can fire them, but you can’t force them to work.
Congratulations, your entire identity is similar in value to a single hour of minimum wage labor!
Damn. I didn’t even realize that :(
Looks like OP is in canada, so like half an hour really.
I guess I didn’t realize that Canadians were also subject to our bullshit credit system.
Sorry Canada.
Less in many parts of the country!

They offered me $10.13 but in exchange for that they need my email address my mailing address my date of birth my social security and a government ID.
😂 that’s fucking insane. Mother fucker you are paying for NOT BEING ABLE TO PROTECT MY FUCKING DATA!!!
“Yes, we totally fucked up lost all your info the last time but you can totally trust us with that this time around…”
I read an article that anything under the price of a tank of gas people will usually not try to claim it.
Wow, you can buy a McDouble with that kind of money!
This will age poorly with the current state of inflation.
I got the same error. I complained to the settlement email and they sent me the same canned response twice in a row that the window had passed in 2022. I forwarded the email I got and got the same canned response again…
Seriously? Man, this all kinds of fucking insulting. They fucking leaked our SSN and they’re throwing a bone at us that we can’t even get. This is very insulting.
We have to operate with understanding that all critical data is already leaked tbh
This is the new reality
