content: How much money will you conceivably have to spend in order to fix EFX's fuckup? How much time will it take? What is your time worth? All of those things can be considered cognizable "damages". Further, I think pointing out that the judge's own personal information was most likely stolen as well might be a persuasive argument. If you can stoke his personal acrimony towards EFX, he may let you slide a bit on the proof of damages.
