Send a copy of police report to each bureau, along with letter stating you dispute under Section 605b of FCRA. This section covers improper reporting of identity theft. They must be blocked , making sure consumer isn't further harmed.

Send letters certified. You want to make sure you have receipt.

Ditto. And if for any reason this excellent advice doesnt work, file a complaint with the CFPB.

If CRA deny your request, they must supply reasoning.

It doesn't usually go further than CFPB. If CFPB can't resolve, you have a case to file a civil suit. Your consumer statement to agencies satisfies what is required.

Are they required to remove it if you send affidavits?
