An Illinois man is facing the obstacles of proving he is alive after he has been declared dead. He's not alone in this challenge.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — An Illinois man finds himself dealing with his own death, and not in the literal sense. He recently learned that his credit card company, his life insurance, and many others thought he was deceased.It all started a few weeks back when his credit card randomly stopped working. Hillard called to ask why. He was told his account was closed because he was deceased. That was bizarre enough.But then it was another credit card and other entities too.
"In a deceased case, your credit score goes to zero, so it's the ultimate type of error," said attorney Joseph McClelland. "The more likely cause is that one of your lenders, credit cards or banks that have made this error," he said. "I think the burden falls on the credit bureaus, they have a duty to maintain maximum accuracy of their credit reports," said McClelland.
"You might not get employment, you can lose benefits, can't get water, gas, you can't get a driver's license," he said.And it's why she says you should be regularly checking your credit report.
