My understanding was that this only applies to people who signed an arbitration-only agreement with banks and credit bureaus. I have no association with Equifax, so I should still be able to sue them in a class action, correct?

Almost any time you sign up for anything financial these days, whether you read it or not, you sign away your rights and agree to an arbitration clause.

I didn't sign up for shit with Equifax. They acquired my information from other parties. Most Americans have never had any dealings with them.

It sucks that I may not be able to sue my bank if they fuck me over, but my more pressing concern right now is credit bureaus.

Not 100% sure but I wouldn't be surprised that if you ever had your credit run using any of them (CC,mort,car loan, etc.) That you agree to all there terms by proxy when the underwriters ask if it is okay to run your credit.

That you agree to all there terms by proxy when the underwriters ask if it is okay to run your credit.

That makes absolutely no sense, and I'm sure you can imagine all the problems that would arise if contracts actually worked like that.

There should be a law against these fucking terms of agreement that are unreadable by design

Most people have an unrealistic view of their relationship with Equifax. People are not the customers of Equifax, people are the product.

why is it that Christians are so retarded that when they get power they just go to bat for Jewish banks and Israel?

[tigerpiper]

I am as liberal as they come but class actions are crap- have no consumer benefit and only make lawyers rich.
If banks are abusive, regulators should respond. Empowering private lawyers doesn’t work because their motivation is not even nominally consumer benefit. It is solely money.
Arbitration clauses save consumers money who ultimately would be paying.

The Jewish Book of Fairytales, otherwise known as the Old Testament.

It's because the role Israel is prophesized to play in ushering the End Times per The Book of the Revalation. Were that outrageously fanciful fever dream/nigutmare narratve not biblical canon, most evangelical Chtistians wouldn't give two shits about the wealthful of Jews or Israel.

There are also the geopolitical considerations--a path to controlling the Middle East and its oil.

Actually, the US supporting Isreal has repeatedly imposed huge costs and risk of loss of access to Middle East oil, with the first significant cost being the Arab oil embargo in 1973 in response to US support of Israel in that conflict.
