It depends on how involved the fraud and identity theft is, according to the CyberScout Resolution Center. Factors that play into the timetable are how long it takes for the victim to file a police report and then return required documentation for the Resolution Center to proceed. Estimated time on cases: The CyberScout Resolution Center can resolve the fraud in 60-90 days in normal financial identity theft cases. In more complicated cases where there may be multiple types of fraud, it can take from 90 to 120 days. In extreme cases, which include tax fraud and the turnaround time for the IRS to resolve and issue a refund, possibly more than a year.
