| Wow, that reminds me. I answered the phone at my grandma's house one day & there was an automated recording on the other end asking for my grandpa who has been dead for 21 years. I'm like "grandma, someone's trying to get ahold of ____" She's just like hang up, he isnt here... It's really strange too because they paid cash for everything. My grandma is in here early 60s and has a blank credit report. They even paid cash for both of their houses they have owned. But 21 years later, there is someone calling to talk to my deceased grandpa. Weird. |

| Wow, that is really strange, hopefully no one is using his information. You really should have your grandmother check it out and see if he is a victim of identity theft. It may affect something later that still has his name on it, like her home. |

| wow, i never thought about that. His name isnt on her home; as she bought this one after he died, but I never really thought about it. I am her legal POA, so I'll probably have to look into it then. How DO you check for identity theft? Other than a credit report; which I know has nothing on it; just an inquiry here and there for cable & such. |

| I know with the economy in the shape it's in. Identity theft is probably on the rise. So yes I would definitely get her to check into it. Because something isn't right about that. I'm not sure but don't you have to send a copy of the death certificate to his creditors. |

Well, I'm pretty sure he didn't have creditors. They always paid cash for everything, even for their death planning; which is paid for in full for both my grandpa & my grandma. Maybe its medical? I don't know. I'll have to look into it for sure. If there were death certificates supposed to be mailed out, I'm sure that was taken care of. My grandpa died just months before I was born, so I don't know too much about the financials on their end; except for what my gramz tells me & her credit report lol
HOW do you look into it though? I have no idea. Can you even pull up a credit report for someone who died, let alone someone who died 21 years ago!? |
