Investigative Support: a) Collaborate with other credit reporting bureaus or agencies to share the fraud alert, the credit freeze, and any additional relevant information to ensure a comprehensive investigation across all platforms. b) Provide guidance, resources, or contact details of legal or law enforcement authorities specialized in identity theft cases, if necessary. 5.
