I have recently - it took some time but I got it as straight as I could get.

I am the original owner of my 1983 Porsche 944. Recently, I had given some thought of selling it. I don't drive it as much and I'm getting older - it is a well kept , low millage car. I thought about listing it on Bring A Trailer. So my curiosity was up and I ran a Carfax on my car. To my surprise, the original sale was out east, showing multiple registrations in different states, millage discrepancy, etc. I was furious (I'm being civil here). I contacted Carfax and provides documentation: bill of sale, Maroney sticker, car title and just about every maintenance receipt I have on the car. It took awhile - my VIN was hijacked. I got this resolved to a point where the it is a one owner car with the correct millage. I'm not extremely happy with the entire documentation but I can live with it.

Carfax relies on information from others - you need to provide the evidence. It took about 5-6 months to resolve this.

Contact them and have the documentation to support your claim. They won't do much without information.
