Questions people ask on this case type.
Is this different from a simple billing dispute?
Yes. Identity theft often involves unauthorized use of personal information, not just a one-time billing problem.
Do I need every credit report before I submit?
No. Send what you have and note any missing pieces so the review can start.
Should I freeze my credit if I suspect identity misuse?
Many people do that early, but you can still start the review with current records even if the freeze is not done yet.
