There are some good tips here, but this is important:

[quote]Send a dispute letter to each of the credit reporting agencies informing them of the fraudulent accounts opened in your name. Request that the fraudulent accounts be removed from your credit file.

It is a good idea to send this letter by certified mail with a return receipt as well. Keep a copy of the letter and the receipt for your records.

In most instances, a credit reporting agency will investigate your complaint within 30 days.

Each credit report agency will forward information about the identity theft to the financial companies reporting the fraudulent accounts opened by the thief.

And once the financial company receives the notice from the credit reporting agency, it must investigate and report back to the credit reporting agency.

After an investigation is complete, a credit reporting agency must send you the results in writing.  And you will be notified if the fraudulent accounts have been removed from your credit report.[/quote][/quote]
