IANAL, do not take as legal advice.

When I looked into small claims court, in California. It was any claim <= 10k. You also needed to legally serve the defended with a non involved party.

That means for equifax, not being a california party, you gotta pay someone to send docs to their legal representation.

IANAL too (so this is not legal advice), but I don't think that's hard. California maintains an online list of "foreign" (out-of-state) corporations registered to do business in California. [1]

It appears to me that Equifax can be sued in California by serving their local representatives in Sacramento.
