TransUnion News: Cash Payouts for Some Austinites

$75 Million Class Action Settlement! You may be entitled to a cash award!

Yep, that’s right, Austinites, CASH to spend in the 512!

Have you ever wondered how all those merchants accessed your confidential credit reports and used that information to send you solicitations to go even deeper into debt?  Two words: Corporate Greed.

Credit reporting GIANT TransUnion decided it needed more money so they illegally sold your confidential credit information to target marketing companies for tens of millions of dollars. TransUnion got sued and coughed up $75 million to a settlement fund that has your name on it (that is, if you’ve had any form of credit between 1987 and 2000, i.e. credit card, home loan, car loan, student loan, etc.).

As part of a class action settlement, TransUnion set aside $75 million to compensate persons whose credit information was illegally sold to target marketing companies between the years 1987 to 2000. If you are one of the thousands of Americans who used or had any form of credit, credit cards, or loan, between 1987 and 2000, you likely have a claim under the class action settlement for money damages against TransUnion.

Unfortunately, TransUnion isn’t just going to hand this money over to you—you have to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit to make your claim for this money. To find out if you have a claim against the $75 million visit this website: http://www.transunionclaim.com/polanlaw/

    I’d be shocked if you received more than a few dollars.
    Not worth the time imho.

    The form that you posted to fill out isn’t even secure, and you want us to put on SSN on it? The high risk of having your SSN compromised is not worth the few bucks you may get out of this deal.

    Mike – you gotta be kidding, man.

    Did you not even look at the page? I clicked right on the page myself and viewed the source related information and got this:

    That means the site is completely secure. I think you must be seeing that the site is http, and think it is missing the “s”, but the site doesn’t transmit any information, only the EchoSign portion of the site does, and if you right click on the page and view source information, it clearly has the “s” and all the security you could need on the web. I signed up, and feel comfortable my information is safe.

    The dude also put a link on there about the security that is being used. Just read. It’s pretty cool.

    I appreciate your security concerns; however, the site is fully secure.

    The webpage itself does not have the “s” you are probably looking for at the end of the “http,” but the EchoSign widget embedded within the website does have that “s,” and moreover, all communications through the EchoSign portion of the site, and all documents sent through EchoSign, are encrypted with full 128-bit SSL security. As I am sure you are aware, this is top of the line industry security. As you know, the website is simply a vessel to host the EchoSign widget, and no information is actually submitted through the website itself, but rather, it is sent through EchoSign.

    Additionally, if you right click on the “make a claim” page and view source related information you will be able to see the “https” you are looking for as it relates to the EchoSign portion of the site. Again, this is the only portion of the site that transmits any information.

    I hope this addresses your concerns. Trust me, your information and that of my other clients is extremely important to me, and I will take all commercially practical efforts to make sure that your information is safe.

    If you have any other questions please feel free to write again.

    I hope we are able to represent you in this matter. Thanks very much for your time.

    I have a one page brochure related to EchoSign security that I will post for your review.

    Nice attempt to try and post an anonymous comment there Parker, or should I say txfightguy. Anyway, I guess you are unfamiliar with cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
