I had my information stolen during the OPM breach and now the Mr.Cooper morons gave up my information again! Do you guys sign up for the free credit monitoring services or how do you handle this stuff? I'm pretty tired about all this data breach shenanigans concerning all of my information

I got the same letter from Mr Cooper. I took advantage of their offer of free credit monitoring. Just go to the recommended web site and sign up. They also allow you to sign up for 2 other things, I think it was fraud alert and credit freeze or something like that, I didn’t take advantage of them even though they were free. If anything fraudulent pops up, I may sign up for those 2 free options.
Ah okay thank you. I still have the free service from the OPM breach as well. I await the day when all this ends. Our (social) credit score being tied to a number and your name.
I've not had to deal with identity theft before as most of my stuff is offline and what isn't is secured heavily but still if 40000 people know all our info something is bound to happen. It's time these imbeciles recognize that there has to be a balance struck between this number they want us to give out willynilly and yet protect with our lives.
I never had ID theft either, but a friend did and he went thru a lot of trouble, the thief even bought a car with his ID. The good thing was that they caught the thief and my friend pressed charges.
