  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.

  4. Find out whether you have a claim

    Whether the SAFE CREDIT UNION breach gives you a legal claim depends on the facts. A free, no-obligation case review will tell you where you stand — there is no cost and no commitment to find out.
