Your Rights and Next Steps
It is recommended to remain vigilant by monitoring account statements and explanations of benefits for any unusual activity. If suspicious activity is detected, it should be reported promptly to insurance companies, healthcare providers or financial institutions.
Under U.S. law, every consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
Affected individuals can also place a fraud alert or credit freeze on their credit files at no cost. A fraud alert makes it harder for identity thieves to open accounts in someone’s name, while a credit freeze restricts access to credit reports entirely.
Vida Y Salud is providing access to credit monitoring and identity protection services for those whose data was involved. It is also a good idea to file a police report if identity theft is suspected and to contact the Federal Trade Commission for further guidance.
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If your information was exposed in the Vida Y Salud-Health Systems, Inc. data breach, you may be entitled to compensation for the risks and harm caused by the incident. Lawyers are ready to help affected individuals understand their rights and pursue claims for damages.
