Create alias emails for EVERY company. When they sell and this shit happens, you know who to go after, not like anything will happen anyways.

I do in fact do that. It’s very useful. But the breach notice came by postal mail.
(edit) In fact, it would have been cheaper for them to send the breach notices by email. I suspect they chose postal mail precisely to conceal from victims who the data source was due to people’s use of email aliases.
Get an alias home for EVERY company ...
This is actually easy enough to do if you own the top level address. E.g. 123 Main St. Just use # or suite unique to the company. It will be up to you to remember that 123 Main St, #874 means it came from your bank.
Ah yes, the easiest of first steps: own a house.
I've lived in multiple apartments that use the same style. I suspect it's not an option for most vertical housing (apartments/condos on top of each other), but townhouse-style apartments are common once you leave the city centers.
Contact your states attorney general since it is not specific to you. When Hollywood video went under my states AG helped dispute the bullshit late charges that weren’t real that the debt consolidation company fabricated on my account.
Possibly a complaint via the CFPB would help if you are in the US: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
Contacting your state AG is good advice too.
Dude, every company under the sun is selling all of our data to anyone who will buy it. You buy an apple at the grocery store and your insurance company knows about it by the next day. It's fucking preposterous! Our legislators need to be held accountable for egregious dereliction of duty.
