I was informed today by mail that Ally shared information mistakenly about one of my accounts by mailing the information to the wrong recipient. Ally claims the individual called Ally and returned the information which contained PII such as name, address, account number and SSN.
While Ally does not believe my information was compromised, they did offer to pay for a credit watch service for two years. Here's where I am concerned now, Ally is offering me Credit Watch Gold 3-in-1 monitoring provided by.... Equifax, a recently and wildly untrusted monitoring agency.
I just checked my credit using CreditKarma, and did not find any red flags on there.
Has this happened to anyone here regarding their Ally accounts? Can I trust the Equifax Credit Watch Gold service, or should I expend my own resources on a different service?
Thanks for any insight!
