Reader mail: Can’t get Experian report - need attorney address
Dear Christine,
Thank you so much for what you have posted regarding the credit nightmare you had with Experian.
Currently, I am going through a similar ordeal, as I am the victim of credit fraud. I keep trying to get a copy of my Experian credit report but reach dead ends such as having to have a credit card to get a free copy of the report, and their automated telephone system malfunctioned, and it’s impossible to reach a live person to get things straightened out. They make it as difficult on a person as possible, and my blood is boiling.
I was wondering whether you might have e-mail addresses and phone numbers for their attorneys, so I can cut through all of this red tape? You mentioned a Marc Carlson, and I can’t find an e-mail address for him online. Do you know which law firm he is with?
A friend of mine recently sued Equifax successfully for privacy violations, and he gave me Equifax’s attorney’s e-mail address, and I got action fast through that route.
I am so sorry you had to go through all of this. These outfits need to be stopped. Our local TV station is doing a feature tonight on how our Utah government is giving away our identities. I plan to record it.
Thanks in advance,...
That’s a very good idea, contacting their OUTSIDE attorneys directly. The CRAs have to PAY those law firms. I expect them to direct the attorneys to IGNORE these e-mails if too many consumers start going this route.
But, it can’t hurt to try:
Marc S. Carlson
Jones Day
3 Park Plaza, Suite 1100
Irvine, California 92614
Telephone: (949) 553-7524
Fax: (949) 553-7539
Please let me know what happens. And of course e-mails provide GREAT documentation when you have to sue and you’ve tried to resolve the issues with their attorneys.
I am SO tired of the CRAs and their blatant disregard of the FCRA. They freely give your credit report to just about ANYONE willing to pay for it, but refuse to provide the consumer disclosures.

Christine and others,
You have all been so very helpful in finding out all the stuff i needed to find out about Experian. Why are they getting away with this? Can we not all get together and file a class action law suit for everyone in the World who has had to deal with this BS.
We don’t have thousands of dollars to pay for a lawyer to help us out and I am getting exhausted doing this over and over for one company. We will not be able to buy a home in a year if we can’t get them to fix this.
Is there a way to file a class action lawsuit?
I really think Experian should go under and let the other two be the only credit agencies around. Why do we need three when the 3rd one is always displaying the wrong info. for almost everything they have on one person.
Plus, trying to find the right address to send info. to than getting e-mails telling me they need proof of who i am and my husband in order to process. Why should we have to prove who we are everytime i send them a letter or an e-mail or call them. They have the wrong Birthday’s the wrong SSN, the wrong addresses. Everytime I send proof, they never fix it. Lets get together and file this suit. Maybe than someone will actually do something about this shaddy company. I couldn’t even find a legitimate BBB address so i could complain to them. The Gov. needs to do something about them.
Thanks so much for all your help.
