Our friends over at one of the three major Credit Reporting Agencies (TransUnion) ran into a bit of trouble recently.  It has been alleged that TransUnion improperly sold consumers' personal data.  That could mean that your information was sold to various companies who could then overview your information and solicit you for such things as Mortgage Loans, Credit Card Offers, heck... credit of any kind.  If you applied for credit in the past twenty years or so, this could apply to you.  If you pay for everything via cash or have Mafioso ties, this may not apply;-)  Here's the link.

Imagine that, Credit Reporting Agencies making money on the side selling leads.  This is good news for consumers though, and free credit monitoring is key in this.  Typically, one must pay for this type of monitoring service.  Due to this ruling, you have several options and having your credit monitored for free is one of those options.  There seems to be a possibility that you could receive cash via a settlement, but I wouldn't count those hens just yet.  Here is the link to register.
