<prompt> Human: My 18 year old son recently decided to check his credit report at annualcreditreport.com but was locked out after incorrectly answering a question during the verification process, the question was about a car loan he had taken out that corresponds with the date his mother with horrible credit bought a new car. Ive read all the info offered on the side bar with regards to identity theft, but we cant prove that there has been a theft because we cant access his credit report. What is the fastest way that my son can prove his identity to the credit agencies and gain access to his report?  <response>: Contact the credit reporting agencies via the telephone. Then, they can provide you with a way for your son to identify himself to them, and they can send him the report.
