If someone steals your identity and opens credit accounts in you name
and your credit score goes up:

You might be a redneck.

I had to dispute it with all three credit bureaus also...but they were
actually not bad to deal with. Very helpful and told me exactly what
information I would need to provide. This woman had only been at it for
three months when she made the mistake of opening the bank account but
used my real address instead of her address. So I got the statements
and notified the bank.

The PD won't. But they are required to take a report and allow you to
get a copy of it. Almost every agency I dealt with required a copy of
the police report, the report number and the name of the investigating
officer. They don't don anything until you present them with enough
evidence to collar the person. Since it is a non violent crime, it
doesn't have a high priority.

I provided the PD with every shred of evidence they needed on my ID
theft...including the perp's home address. The bank provided the
information on the bank fraus end (as well as the info I provided when
I received bank statements for an account I never opened). I did it all
from Honduras while this was occurring in Washington state. (faxes,
emails, and Fed Ex)I made one trip back to sign papers and reports and
at that time the woman was already in jail awaiting trial.

She stole credit card bills addressed to me. I never saw the bills and
figured they were delayed in the mail (everything is forwarded from WA
state to me in Honduras). When the fraudulent charges appeared, I
contacted the companies and the credit bureaus. As soon as I sent in
the police report the compnaies dropped all the unauthorized charges.

It's ridiculous since you have a location and if I remember correctly a
vehicle was purchased. That vehicle has an identifier that can be traced
to an address. From there the PD can notify the local PD to go have a
look see and generate any warrants necessary.

In your case it worked. In many peoples cases it doesn't.

Nebraska is an o.k. place to visit - Omaha has The French Cafe, which
is very good (or it used to be, anyway) and there is a stockyard steak
place - Johnny's? - also superb. There's also a little dive/diner that
is famous for deep-fried carp (not a bone in sight) which is absolutely
to die for. It's on the river - can't remember the name of it.

And if you cross state lines into western Iowa, head for Henry's Cafe
in Honey Creek or close by - home of the biggest and best pork
tenderloin sandwich.

I think it's just "the Dock." It's been the place to eat for at least
40 years.

Would it be Henry's Diner rather than Cafe? I could only find this one
online???

They probably can't do it unless an in-person appearance is made to
file a complaint of identity theft by the victim. I was informed by the
Sheriff's Office that had I not shown up IN PERSON at the Sheriff's
Office to file a report that they would not persue the identity theft
portion of this affair. I had to present two picture IDs in addition to
filing the report. This was inspite of faxing and mailing copies of the
ID to the PD as well as all pertinent information related to the
inident. They required an in person appearance to verify that yet
another party was not trying to commit fraud or ID theft. The bank
fraud case was persued because the bank filed a report and the theft of
checks/forgery was persued because the escrow company filed a report.
I'd be willing to wager that Michael will have to show up IN PERSON in
Omaha or where ever this event occurred to file reports in person. I
had to fly back from Honduras to take care of this. All of the expenses
were submitted in the event that she ever earns enough during her 10
year stint in prison to make restitution.
