Equifax may be terrible, punishing them may be good, this may be a good way to punish them. One might debate whether small claims court is the right venue, what the role of the government is, whether this is a civil or criminal matter, and more generally what the impact of litigation is. None of this is to say that I disagree. This is a feel-good story where the little man gets to stick it to the Big Evil Corporation. I just think it's disingenuous to present it as a story of what one man can do in the face of injustice, and then have a publication like Inc. repeat the story while leaving out important details about the plaintiff's qualifications and incentive.
