You participate in a company by owning shares, or owning a right to buy shares (for example, in an option scheme). How many shares did you own when you left? How many shares did Anakam have when they were sold to Equifax? If you own the shares you must have paperwork for it, back from the year 2004 or so; if so, what does that say? Was there a vesting period and if there was, what was it like? Find a lawyer that can work for part of the possible winnings instead of a fee. If you have the paperwork that proves you owned part of Anakam after when you left it then, with competent lawyers, it should be just a matter of computing your share of the company's final form before it was sold to determine how much they owe you. Prepare to lose some percentage of the total to make negotiations easier and shorter, and subtract your lawyers portion off it, too.
