There is a good reason which hopefully comes to light through legal investigations. The 583 000 students would never have been found had it not been for people investigating the first breach. The group of 5000 had all the student info, plus all their medical records, employment history etc etc. We are the collateral damage to save a few higher ranking politicians. Go figure, a whooops sorry, we'll do better is supposed to make it all go away like they want these people to;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273930.post-57946901834134259172013-01-15T11:03:05.573-04:002013-01-15T11:03:05.573-04:00Hi,

I have also been affected. <br /><br />Who is going to pay for identity theft insurance or costs incured because your identity was stolen?<br /><br />And compensation for HSRDC's recommendations which the above commenter describes.<br /><br />Is there opporunity for class action suit here? I am game. This is unacceptable.<br /><br />Why are they keeping people's SIN if they've paid things off? What are the policies in play here?(rentention period, etc.)?Katie M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273930.post-65092186269181558722013-01-14T17:28:35.196-04:002013-01-14T17:28:35.196-04:00Hi there,

They advised me to check my banks and credit cards, AND to check my credit score regularly.<br /><br />The cost for monthly credit reporting from transunion and Equifax is $14.95 per month for EACH company. That's approximately $30 per month. $360 per year for the rest of my life. And I have to pay this additional cost because THEIR mistake left me vulnerable to identity theft.<br /><br />At a minimum, I would expect those costs to be covered, but they are not. We are expected to pay this additional fee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273930.post-20772480833848987262013-01-14T10:49:50.838-04:002013-01-14T10:49:50.838-04:00Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this com...Hello, thanks for taking the time to read this comment. I am very green on the issue, so please forgive my ignorance.<br /><br />I have confirmed that I was one of the 580,000 people who's information has gone missing.<br /><br />I am wondering what kind of legal recourse is possible. Must there be proof of identity theft to file suit? Are situations like this generally just skated over with the promise of increased diligence?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
