Need some guidance if this has happened to you OR you know what to do.

Long story short, my FIL had his information stolen from that OPM hack that happened awhile ago. All his military info was stolen (SSN, address, numbers, personal info, etc). Someone has started claiming his identity and trying to get cards, charge 5k to home depot, etc....

A police report has been filed, lock has been placed on all cards and freezing has taken place with credit bureaus.......

What else can he do? He's spending hours, if not all day, on the phone with companies fighting that HE is the real guy.

What in the world can he do......any advice?

REALLY appreciated folks......thanks.
