How could the credit bureau(s) report me deceased?

discoballfell asked:


Some malicious person/ probably an ex spouse possibly sent a death certificate through my old creditor to only 2 of 3 major credit bureaus. How can I legally make them send me an explanation of how/where they got this information in order to fight them. Can they just claim you dead without any legit information at all? I have no $$ for lawyer nor time for smart persons answer who have no idea of what kind of impact this can cause on a persons life. I appreciate in advance for your intelligent and answers

    A death cert has to be filed in the county of residence at time of demise. Check with your local county clerk and ask them to check for duplicate name filing by mistake. Credit companies use researchers who run local records and report the demise to Credit agencies. Fraudulent use of SS numbers by illegals can cause this issue. Check with County Clerk and see who is dead. Costs nothing and can get you so pro help. Check your local phone book for County Clerk’s office. Or type County name and State into search engine and bring up county website for info
