But you should get involved ASAP to avoid missing any key deadlines in the action.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>About the Equifax lawsuit in the UK<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We launched our Equifax lawsuit in the UK back in 2017 when news of this mega breach hit the headlines. This was an entirely preventable breach that stemmed from a simple failure to patch a known security vulnerability. It also didn\u2019t help that Equifax failed to identify the ongoing vulnerability as well.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, we\u2019re acting for a large group of victims of the breach. They\u2019re claiming data breach compensation for the distress caused as well as for any financial losses caused as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Progress of the Equifax lawsuit in the UK<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our Equifax lawsuit in the UK is well underway. We continue to build the cases and we\u2019re confident we can with the action.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019ve agreed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.databreachlawyers.co.uk\/no-win-no-fee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>act for our clients on a No Win, No Fee basis<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re at an important stage of the process, but its not too late to claim. However, this year will be two years on since the breach first hit the news. There can be a number of key deadlines in a case of this nature and you don\u2019t want to miss out on your chance to claim potentially thousands of pounds in data breach compensation.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, two class actions lawsuits were recently consolidated and given the go ahead by the Judge. The US is typically faster in terms of their legal processes, although we welcome this positive step forward for justice across the pond.<\/p>\n<p>To join the Equifax lawsuit in the UK, <strong>please contact our team for help today<\/strong>.
