    • 1. When I file a lawsuit against a CRA, which address should I use? I checked with my Department of State (NY) and it gives me the following:

      Entity Name: Experian Information Solutions, Inc.
      • Experian Information Solutions, Inc.
        475 Anton Blvd
        Costa Mesa, California 92626-7036

      Entity Name: Equifax Information Services
      • C/O Corporation Service Company
        80 State Street
        Albany, New York 12207-2543

      Entity Name: Trans Union (of Delaware), LLC
      • Trans Union LLC
        Attn: Tax Department
        555 West Adams Street
        Chicago, Illinois 60661-3601

      Entity Name: Trans Union Settlement Solutions
      • C/O Corporation Service Company
        80 State Street
        Albany, New York 12207-2543

      As NY DOS says, these are the addresses to which DOS will mail process if accepted on behalf of the entity.

      They have nothing for "Trans Union Credit Information Co." They have also:

      Entity Name: Trans Union (of Delaware), LLC
      Registered Agent:
      • The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.
        80 State Street
        Albany, New York 12207-2543

      Entity Name: Experian
      Registered Agent:
      • C T Corporation System
        111 Eighth Avenue
        New York, New York 10011
      Anyone has better addresses?


      2. If I am about to file a lawsuit against Experian and serve them at the CA address, how do I find a sheriff in CA to do it?


      Thanks in advance ...

    vghost, I don't know how it is in New York state, but down here in Tennessee you don't have to use an in-state registered agent. For that reason, I had my small claims lawsuits served at the headquarters for each company (Atlanta GA, Chicago IL, and Orange CA). For Trans Union and Equifax, I served both the corporations and the CEOs. For Experian, I served only the corporation. Here were the addresses I used:

    Trans Union LLC
    555 West Adams., 6th Floor
    Chicago, IL 60661-3614

    Harry C. Gambill
    CEO and President, Trans Union LLC
    555 West Adams., 6th Floor
    Chicago, IL 60661-3614

    Equifax Inc.
    1550 Peachtree Street, N.W.
    Atlanta, Georgia 30309

    Thomas F. Chapman
    Chairman and CEO, Equifax Inc.
    1550 Peachtree Street, N.W.
    Atlanta, Georgia 30309

    Experian, Inc.
    505 City Parkway West
    Orange, CA 92868

    Keep in mind a few caveats: 1) I'm not suggesting that you sue anybody. 2) I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not offering specific legal advice to anybody; rather I'm discussing my own legal history. 3) My lawsuits were all filed a few years ago, so these addresses may no longer be current. Hope this helps regardless.

    • Your Honor, one PsychDoc gave me the addresses. It's all his fault. I'm innocent.

      LOL

      Thanks, Doc ... :)


      BTW, if I serve "Experian, Inc.", can "Experian Information Solutions, Inc." say they are not the same company, it concerns a third party, blah, blah, blah ... ?
