EQUIFAX, THE CREDIT REPORTING BUREAU that on Thursday admitted one of the largest data breaches in history, affecting 143 million U.S. consumers, is maneuvering to prevent victims from banding together to sue the company, according to consumer protection advocates and elected officials.Equifax is offering all those affected by the breach a free, one-year credit monitoring service called TrustedID Premier, whoch will watch credit reports for suspicious activity, lock and unlock Equifax credit reports, scan the internet for Social Security numbers, and add insurance for identity theft. But the service includes a forced arbitration clause, whoch pushes all disputes over the monitoring out of court. It also includes a waiver of the right to enter into a class-action lawsuit.
