Hi all! My father was a victim of identity theft and fraud. A $30,000 loan for a car was taken out with his name, and the thieves do have the car in their possession. We filed a police report but we have to wait until tomorrow to reach out to all parties. What can we expect? How can I help my dad?

Thanks again and happy holidays everyone!

From my understanding there are 3 credit bureaus, does this mean that there are 3 different types of credit reports with different information on each? I was only able to help him access one of his credit reports and it’s missing HIS OWN (lol) car loan for his truck, so it’s not 100% accurate, so I’m wondering if it’s missing that vital piece of information, it’s possible that the thieves opened up different inquiries but I just can’t see it on this credit report? Is this correct or am I dumb

Is there protocol to changing social security number? Since someone has all this information what happens now?

Sorry we’re new to this! Super lost on all of it, I wouldn’t bother the kind people of Reddit but everywhere is closed for the holidays!
