Death By Credit Card

A North Carolina couple is trying to get credit, for just being alive.

FOX News Radio’s Dave Anthony explains:

Louya: “He’s like, my heart’s still beatin’. I’m alive obviously!”

But as the Trinity, North Carolina couple tried to refinance a car loan:

Louya: “She pulled mine and my husband’s information. Boom, there it was.”

It turns out, after they canceled a store credit card, they were listed as deceased. So now their credit is locked and they can’t get any new card or loan.

Louya: “Who else has one that this could have happened to and they don’t know it.”

So what if it does happen to you?

Wilson: “File a dispute with the three major CRA’s.”

Demitra Wilson with one of those credit reporting agencies, Equifax, says by law, it has to be resolved in 30 days.
