Uni-Select data breach notice and letter questions

Did Uni-Select offer free credit monitoring?

What should I do after getting the Uni-Select data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.

How much could a Uni-Select data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Uni-Select settlement is confirmed here.

Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
Can I sue Uni-Select over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in MD and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
