When corresponding with the Credit Bureaus, how much information should I provide?

The rule of thumb is to make the Credit Bureaus responsible for verifying credit entries; therefore, you don’t want to confirm negative entries for them. If you’ve been the victim of identity theft, though, you’ll want to tell them EVERYTHING. Use common sense.
