Discover Credit card department,
When my father died, I notified his Discover card that he had passed ( sent them a copy of his death certificate ) and that his estate was insolvent ( it is ). They started sending ME the bills for his account, at my address and in my name, and calling me ( have called me at least - times ) to tell me *I* owed the money. I told them the - time they called that I did NOT owe the money, and that they should send documentation that I was responsible. They said " we ca n't '' and " we do n't have that documentation ''. But they continued to call. And my credit rating was impacted. FINALLY, after HOURS on the phone with them and sending several written complaints, they told me 1 - if I do n't pay it, it will continue to be on my credit rating, 2 - if I DO pay any part of the bill to protect my credit rating, AND
minimum payment due '' from after my Dad died ( they had increased it to several hundred ) so as not to have my credit rating impacted quite so badly. So I paid $35.00. 4 - They CONTINUED to call to say " my '' account was past due. 5 - They sent me a LETTER stating " Based on a review of the information, we have removed your name from this account .... '' 6 - I CONTINUE to receive calls ( two just today ) stating I owe them money. 7 - Logging into the account via my Dad 's site, it STILL shows my name ON THE ACCOUNT. 8 -I am on hold with them now, and they have just confirmed my name is STILL ON THE ACCOUNT.
