Death Records to be Given to Credit Reference Agencies

 

This is very much to be welcomed, but it should go further.

My wife died last December and as far as I know there has not any fraud, but some financial institutions seem to be incapable of knowing that she has died. In one case, I received a new credit card from one company eight months after she died.

Proper systems would help to alleviate the problems that get heaped on you by bereavement. My local council, St. Edmundsbury, adjusted the council tax after being informed by the Registrar. So it can be done!
