Statewide — Attorney General Curtis Hill announced the launch of IndianaEquifaxClaims.com, a website where nearly 4 million Hoosiers who were harmed by the 2017 Equifax data breach may go to securely file a claim for a restitution payment.
Attorney General Hill sued Equifax, one of the world’s largest credit-reporting bureaus, following its massive data breach, which occurred from May 2017 to July 2017. The breach compromised the personal information of approximately 147 million Americans, including roughly 3.9 million Indiana residents. Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, driver’s license numbers and credit card information were compromised.
Now, Indiana consumers may claim the restitution payments they deserve. All Hoosiers are encouraged to visit IndianaEquifaxClaims.com and file a claim for a restitution payment. Simply provide the information required and, if you are eligible, you will receive a payment. You have until Dec. 16, 2020, to file a claim, after which payments will be distributed. About 3.9 million Indiana residents are eligible for a restitution payment under the terms of the settlement. If you are not eligible, it is likely that you have family and friends who are eligible. Please encourage them to visit IndianaEquifaxClaims.com and file a claim.
