Experian Consolidates Divisions

Experian, a credit bureau and information services firm, has formed Experian Consumer Direct.

No layoffs will result from this consolidation, said Experian spokesperson Jennifer Leuer. “In fact, we’re continuing to hire people and expand into offline marketing with direct mail.”

The new division combines the operations of CreditExpert L.L.C., the company’s consumer credit management group and ConsumerInfo.com. ConsumerInfo, its online consumer-direct credit reports provider.

ConsumerInfo founder and president Ed Ojdana will lead the combined organization, which will employ more than 200 people. CreditExpert and ConsumerInfo will continue under their current names.
