Gah, I CL’d myself in the last thread. I wouldn’t repeat it but I think it’s kinda important.

I just got this in email from Credit Karma.

You might have heard about the recent Equifax data breach, which affects about 143 million people. Whether you’re part of that group or not, we want you to know we have your back.

You’re already enrolled in free credit monitoring, so we’ll let you know if we see changes on your credit reports. We’re also accelerating our plans to expand our credit monitoring services, and we’ll be introducing more alerts in the next few weeks.

We recommend checking your reports today to make sure everything looks right.

This is a free service. I recommend them. You see your credit scores and your accounts. It shows inquiries into to your file so you should be able to spot fraud. And they email you with changes.
