I wonder how quickly / ably they could scale that. What if every US-based HN reader filed a suit?
Even better, what if every US HN user filed a small claims court case? I believe companies cannot hire lawyers to represent them there, they would need to send employees.

IANAL, but I am pretty sure we don't need to think out the details too far on this because the actual lawyers surely can play the systems better than non-lawyers from HN.

The no-lawyer in small claims rule doesn't apply to corporations. They usually send a paralegal or operations person who has some experience with legal matters and the relevant paperwork.

I'll go on the record and say that Equifax makes subpar quantitative decisions; i.e. cannot do the math.
And also that their attorneys, and their attorneys' attorneys, and their attorneys' attorneys' attorneys are very busy right now.
Sure they can. If a suit is filed for $25K, do you really think Equifax cannot do the math of what a default judgment would cost? If all their attorneys are busy, they would hire more. Even if it had to be expensive temporary help, they would hire someone to show up.
