# Experian

The same corporation as two U.S. public registries record it — registries that share no common identifier.

## CFPB · consumer complaints (RECORDED)

**3,791,435** complaints name companies matching Experian. Chiefly **Experian Information Solutions Inc.** (3,791,435) — drill down at `/finance/companies/experian-information-solutions-inc`.

| Product | Complaints |
| --- | --- |
| Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports | 3,107,313 |
| Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports | 568,365 |
| Debt collection | 49,825 |

## GLEIF · legal entities (RECORDED)

**29** entities in the GLEIF LEI registry carry a name matching "EXPERIAN": 27 active, 2 lapsed, 0 retired; 2 US-registered. Top non-US: GB (5), IN (3), IE (3), JE (2), IT (2).

> This count is a **name-match floor**, not an org chart — it includes funds, pension trusts, and SPVs that carry the brand, and misses subsidiaries under unrelated names. GLEIF Level-1 records carry no parent/child ownership, so these are not asserted to be Experian's subsidiaries.

Sample entities:

- EXPERIAN ACCOUNT AGGREGATOR PRIVATE LIMITED — issued (IN)
- EXPERIAN CREDIT INFORMATION COMPANY OF INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED — issued (IN)
- EXPERIAN SERVICES INDIA (PRIVATE LIMITED) — issued (IN)
- Experian GmbH — issued (DE)
- Experian Austria GmbH — issued (AT)
- Experian Trustees Limited — issued (GB)
- Experian plc Employee Share Trust — issued (JE)
- Experian Ireland Limited — issued (IE)

## The cross-registry link (DERIVED)

CFPB and GLEIF share no common entity ID, so associating these records as one corporation, Experian, is a **name match** over the patterns "EXPERIAN" — robust for a distinctive brand, but never a verified ownership graph.

## What this is — and is NOT (interpretation)

A cross-registry **footprint** of public records — not a corporate org chart, not a due-diligence verdict, not advice about doing business with Experian. Lapsed LEI registrations are neutral (usually an unpaid annual renewal). The complaint count is not a quality ranking; a complaint is an unverified allegation.
