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. Doc
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 ... ?
