Why Does My Equifax Credit Report Say I’m Dead?
There are many potential errors that can impact your credit report, but an incorrect deceased indicator is the strangest of them all. This error occurs when any or all the Big Three credit bureaus–Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—receive word of your death from a creditor or lender. The credit bureaus may rely on this erroneous information to mark you as deceased on your credit report and fixing the error can feel next to impossible for the average consumer.
Correcting an incorrect deceased indicator on your Equifax credit report requires contacting the authorities at Equifax who can remove the error and supplying the right proof to show that the credit bureau was wrong. Instead of dealing with the time and hassle of endless back-and-forth with the credit bureaus, partner with Boss Law. Here’s how we fix this common, yet unusual, mistake:
