Free Credit Monitoring
What’s better than a free credit report once a year? Free credit monitoring. According to a class-action lawsuit filed against TransUnion, one of the three major credit bureaus, you can receive either 6 or 9 months of free credit monitoring. Below is what is included in each of the two packages according to the settlement notice.
The six months of credit monitoring services (which retails for
$59.75) include: (1) the ability to lock your credit report so third
parties, such as lenders or other companies, will not be able to access
your credit report without your consent (unless allowed by law); (2)
unlimited daily access to your Trans Union credit report and credit
score; and (3) credit monitoring with a 24-hour email credit notification
service. The nine months of enhanced credit monitoring services
(which retails for $115.50) includes all the services listed above, plus
a suite of insurance scores and a mortgage simulator service.
Are you Eligible?
If you have had an open credit account or an open line of credit from a credit grantor (i.e. automobile loans, bank credit cards, department store credit cards, other retail store credit cards, finance company loans, mortgage loans, and student loans) you are eligible. You must register before September 24, 2008.

It also looks like you can get some cash if you only do the 6 month monitoring package.
