Honestly, there's a lot I don't understand. And this is one thing.

Every time I pay off a credit card balance (which I do every month) I receive a credit monitoring "ALERT". I get a several because all the breaches involving me have given me free credit monitoring provided by different companies.

I cannot understand why paying off a debt is a warning sign that my account may be compromised. Why do credit monitoring companies do this? Do scammers often pay off people's debts? One of us is surely ignorant.

At some point some data loss entitled me to a free year of credit monitoring. So of course I signed up.

I just got an alert and it says if I don't know what that is as for to contact the credit bureau.

Following the hyperlink it provides me with a snail mail address. 📬

Wow, so helpful. 😖

My current stack of credit monitoring service subscriptions will expire in 2028. At this point, wouldn't it be cheaper to tax all larger companies 10 cents a year to pay for those services for every American? No need for another hack and lawsuit.

What repeatedly amazes me about all the free credit monitoring accounts I get from security breaches is that every single one of these services is SO F'ING BAD.
TicketMaster is giving out accounts on a service called "MyTrueIdentity". Here's what I've noticed in just the first few minutes which proves that the people who built this site are idiots:

I have to do the actual math but I think that given the combined duration of all the of the years of #CreditMonitoring I have been awarded due to Entirely Preventable Security Fuckups I should be figuring out who I am leaving the remainder to in my will.
