My Identity Is Worth $5.21

I had my identity stolen via the Equfax Data breach in 2017. Pursuant to https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement I got my Settlement Fund check today. My check number was nearly 1.1 million, so there are at least that many checks being distributed.

A measly $5.21. I'm disgusted.

Fortunately I had my credit locked so nothing bad happened.

If you don't have your credit locked I would do it right away. All 3 bureaus.
