Credit Reports Deceased
2010
sould i ask soc.security to return check to my now deceased mother’s acct. she lived all but 2 days of month
soc.secruity payments are made amonth behind when they took her last ck back after 18 days in her acct. automated payments had come outand therefore caused an overdraft. which now the bank has made me responsible and put on my credit report.
Why has the bank made you responsible? Are you a trustee, or are you on her bank account? Just because she’s your mother does not make you automatically liable for her debts.
The government tried to do that to me. My dad had a military retirement garnishment going to my mom. When she passed an automatic payment still went to her account, and they came after me to get it back… and I was like, “Wait a minute! I’m not the only heir you know. You have to contact the executor of the estate.”
I suggest you write the SS admin and the bank a letter letting them know how to contact the executor of the estate and they will HAVE to work through them. They will have to make a claim against the estate. If you are not on the account, then the bank can’t come after you and must go after the estate.
