Unfortunately, no. The victim will still have the responsibility of following up with creditors and credit bureaus to remove fraudulent information.
If I made a police report, why should I report the crime to the Federal Trade Commission or the Internet Fraud Complaint Center?
These agencies act as a clearinghouse for fraud complaints. They are able to find similarities between complaints and link related cases to assist in the investigation and apprehension of suspects.
