Let me see how I can phrase this:

The normal identity theft case takes about 80 hours of your time to clear up.
I fail to understand why it is apparently so difficult to make the reporting agencies correct their errors. Maybe they've bought off all of the politicians.
I also don't understand why they can't be sued for libel if they don't take prompt corrective action.
