I know right?

I don't believe Equifax is really trying to make up their mistakes: first of all, the monitoring system they offered is part of their company. If I can't trust Equifax, how can I trust another service offered by the same company? Secondly, the free service offered is only free for a year, but my personal information has been compromised forever, what am I supposed to do after the first year? I have to pay $19.99/month to continue using the monitoring service. That's total ripoff. Thirdly, the potential checker website is very shady because you can put in fake information and it will randomly tell you your information might have been compromised and you need to enroll in their monitoring service.
