How do you have a judgement removed from your credit report if identity theft is involved?
getovait asked:
I am a victim of identity theft but caught it years too late because I did not check my credit report. I’ve been reviewing my report this last week and on one of the reporting agencies is a judgment for a debt that I did not make. I have already disputed the items, filed a police report, and contacted the companies.

What do I need to do about this judgment? I have no idea what it is or what to do or who to contact or where to begin.

Do I have to file a police report where the identity theft occurred?
Adeline V asked:
I am a victim of identity theft. The police in the city in which I live (in Missouri) said they couldn’t file a report for identity theft since it occurred in another state, California. The detective told me I have to file in California. He also said he couldn’t file a police report for me because he can’t prove that it really was identity theft. Was he within his rights to do this? How else can I file a police report? I cannot afford to fly to California just to file one and the debt collector who is asking for payment for the fraudulent account has requested that I send them a copy of the police report within 30 days. Help!

If you have been a victim of identity theft, could you share your story with me for a research paper?
zipideeedooda asked:
I am a college student and my composition teacher wants us to write a research paper on something that bugs us, so I chose to write about identity theft. In this paper I am required to use resources beyond reading articles and reporting on them, so that is why I have chosen to use this forum in order to get more variety. You can remain annonymous. Thanks for your help!
