FYI for those who got Trustedid.com from Equifax after their breach....

I locked my account with Equifax. I also locked my account with the other two big credit reporting agencies.

Equifax informed me, via their portal https://www.trustedid.com/premier/myaccount.php that my report was UNLOCKED. I locked it AGAIN.

Word to the wise. Check your Equifax account AGAIN. If they fail again, I'm going to call them. Hope this helps a few.

Trustedid.com ???? LAS14 Oct 2017 #1

it's a free service that Equifax gave to anyone affected (or not) by their huge data breach steve2470 Oct 2017 #2

Hmmm... Isn't this the "one year free" service, and then they start charging? LAS14 Oct 2017 #3

it's free now, I don't know about later steve2470 Oct 2017 #4

I froze my account a couple of years ago. I have a pin and a note "logon not needed." I find I'm not registered at trustedid.com. I see it has an Equifax banner. It doesn't give an opportunity to register on the pages I landed on. What is it?

You don't have to have it or register for it.

If you want it, go here: https://trustedidpremier.com/eligibility/eligibility.html

I didn't see anything like that in the link above, but I had read about it. Also, in the beginning (but no longer) it included a waiver on suing them.

I won't pay for it, that's for sure. If you go to the main page of Equifax equifax.com you'll probably find more official info. Good luck.
