We reported yesterday that Equifax changed its terms of use ahead of disclosing the largest leak of personal data in history. The updated terms of service made sure that users opting to enroll in the credit check program to see if they were affected by the data exposure incident were waiving their right to participate in a class action lawsuit. As reported earlier, the company is already facing a multi-billion dollar class action lawsuit.

In response to these changes to terms of use, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) called Equifax’s arbitration clauses troubling. “This language is unacceptable and unenforceable,”Schneiderman had tweeted. “My staff has already contacted @Equifax to demand that they remove it.”
