My husband recently died a tragic death. He had a XXXX credit card that I was not aware of. He was the primary cardholder. If I was an authorized user I did not know it. I gave XXXX notice of his death ; provided information to close out his homeowner and auto insurance and started a new account with XXXX. I was in the early stages of refinancing our home and a derogatory credit comment showed up on my credit report XXXX : my deceased husbands XXXX credit card. I called XXXX and spoke to someone in the credit card department and explained the situation to them, I was told there was no derogatory or negative information on my credit from them, I was referred to the credit dispute department : Credit Bureau Dispute over Deceased Accounts and I was told to fax a letter to them, they will review, and it will take approximately XXXX days before it is removed from the respective credit bureaus. I completed all that I was told to do and the letter was faxed XXXX XXXX, 2015. It still remains on my credit report and refinancing my home is on hold. I have not anything further from this department or XXXX.
