More details to this question:
I reside in Miami, but thief opened account in Texas with my name and social security. The power company was notified numerous times not only by me, but also by my credit management company since November 2016. The requested police report was sent to them in December. Yet, in January, they turned my name over to collections and it now shows on my credit reports. They are refusing to provide me with a letter confirming that issue has been cleared and collections/credit bureaus have been notified.

Seems like they simply don't believe you or suspect its some ploy by the "credit management" company to clear your credit. You will likely need to hire a lawyer to sue them for illegal collections efforts assuming your ID theft issue is 100% legitimate.
