Your Rights and Next Steps
If you received a notice about this data breach, there are important steps you can take to protect yourself and your information. Lawyers are ready to help guide affected individuals through the process.
First, monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any signs of unauthorized activity. The company is offering two years of free credit monitoring through Experian IdentityWorks, which can help detect changes to your credit bureau information and provide identity theft resolution services.
You also have the right to place a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit file with the major credit bureaus. A fraud alert warns creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new accounts in your name. A security freeze prevents most lenders from accessing your credit report entirely, which can help stop new accounts from being opened.
Be sure to review your credit reports regularly, and report any suspicious or unauthorized activity to your financial institutions and the credit bureaus. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, file a report with your local police and the Federal Trade Commission.
Finally, keep all correspondence related to the breach, including the written notice and any documentation regarding credit monitoring or identity theft protection.
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If your information was exposed in the JPMorgan Chase via Fried Frank data breach, you may be entitled to compensation for any damages or losses suffered as a result. Lawyers are ready to help affected individuals understand their rights and pursue possible claims.
