How to Cash in on the Trans Union Settlement

The TransUnion credit bureau lost a $10 billion settlement in a class action lawsuit. Virtually anyone who had ANY kind of loan or line of credit between January 1 of 1987 and May 28 of 2008 is eligible to receive compensation. This article will show you how you can cash in on your share of the settlement.

Log on to listclassaction.com. You have until September 24, 2008 to do this. But be sure to sign up for only 6 months of free credit monitoring so that you're eligible to receive any cash payment that is made. You can also still sue Trans Union, yourself, if you like.

The credit monitoring service can be very worthwhile and would allow you unlimited daily access to your credit report for 6 months, which normally would cost $60. You could also opt instead for a 9-month service which also includes scores calculated by insurance companies and a preliminary indicator of how a mortgage company would rate you.

However, the 9-month plan won't allow you to receive a cash settlement or sue Trans Union later if you are eligible to. Call (866) 416-3470 for more information.
