Usually they demand that consumers mail copies of ID and utility bills or other documentation without offering any alternatives to establish their identity by phone, fax or e-mail. Credit bureaus do not offer toll-free numbers or any special assistance to military personnel overseas, limiting their ability to request corrections, resulting in higher interest rates and fewer credit opportunities.
