A federal judge in Atlanta has given final approval to a settlement that resolves a class action lawsuit against credit bureau Equifax. Consumers will get free credit monitoring, or if they already had that in place, up to $125 in a cash payment. The minimum cost to Equifax will be $1.38 billion, which includes $1 billion in security upgrades. The deadline for applying for cash compensation is coming up quickly, on Jan. 22, and can be filed via the settlement website.”]
