small claims court may be dismissed by major corporations as inconvenient and worthy of quick settlement, however many may be mistaken in this judgement. Small claims court victories, if added up over time work as a sort of cancer that erodes at the foundation of the supremacy of tacit communal beliefs in an industry or corporate entity. These victories can be evidenced in "real" trials, and often have the overwhelming power to issue a damning indictment of the company at hand. What equifax is trying to avoid is a sizable majority of victories that would in turn erode the foundation of the "identify theft" myth that the blame lies with no one at best, or the customer at worst. Its why Equifax and other companies often issue an appeal to their loss in small claims court as the appeal process can include a lawyer. In the case of equifax theyre likely to throw their VP level legal team on a plane and show up with a top brass firm to contest your victory. Sure, it costs them in the millions to do this, but costly battles like these prevent losing the war.
