Investigations
On October 3, 2017 your Better Business Bureau reached out to RateSpecial, LLC regarding emails sent to consumers shortly after the Equifax data breach. The emails state "Equifax was hacked and Millions of Americans are at risk. Sonic's credit card system was hacking and this could affect you even more! Check your credit at NO cost! Get peace of mind and stay protected." As of October 17, 2017 the BBB did not receive a response from the company regarding these emails.
If you feel your identity has been stolen Equifax has established a website with information about the data breach. At Equifax's website, http://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com, you can: Find out if your information was exposed. Sign up for free credit monitoring services. Equifax is offering all U.S. consumers one year of free credit monitoring through its TrustedID Premier program. Anyone with a U.S. Social Security number can enroll, whether or not your information was exposed. You can enroll until January 31, 2018.
If you visit Equifax's website to check your data breach status or enroll for free credit monitoring services, Equifax will ask for your Social Security number, date of birth, and other personal information. Because of the sensitivity of this information, make sure you're on a secure computer and an encrypted network connection any time you enter it.
Going forward, it's important to monitor your credit card and bank accounts closely. If you find charges you don't recognize, go to IdentityTheft.gov to report it.
If you feel you have been a victim of unfair and deceptive trade practices please file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and possibly the credit card companies and Experian credit bureau.
