I am a Equifax data leak victim.

How do I know Legalist is dependable and trustworthy so that my personal information is NOT going to be leaked by Legalist again in the future for the second time?

And small claim court filling fee is only less than $100 (in my state it's $35, appeal is $250 refundable). And maximum claim amount in small claim court in my state is $3000.

Is it worthy for me to trust another 3rd party with my sensitive information to get at most 3k (in reality it will be much less and there is also the fee from Legalist).

I personally don't think this is a useful service AT ALL.

Also a victim. I personally would rather get a 4-figure settlement in small claims court instead of a $5 check in five years from a class action.

IANAL, but it doesn't look like Legalist is handling any information that you wouldn't be making publicly available in a court filing were you to do this yourself. As someone who doesn't have the time or diligence to do all this myself, I actually find this pretty useful.

No problem. If that happens, Legalist would be happy to finance you suing them in a small claims court!
