Revisiting the Equifax Security Breach [View all]
Yesterday tried to create an account on the Social Security website. As I was entering personal information I saw that they were asking me what my monthly payment is for a car loan. Well, I don't and never have had a car loan. My current car was a gift and it's now 17 years old. So no loans. Evah.
Then when I answered it "wrong" (from SSA's point of view) they booted me off the site for 24 hours while I got my reality to fit with theirs.
I called SSA this morning and the agent told me that SSA uses Equifax for their data. Back in March I had found out that I was part of the original breach. But I didn't do anything about it because the options confused me.
So now I'm a victim and I think someone has been draining my bank account and taking out loans in my name.
Anyone have any ideas about what I can/should do this late in the game.?
