Are All Debt Collectors Pains in The Rear?

Tweet

Okay here is the scenerio....My mother died last August 27, 2006--almost a whole year ago. Now when a person dies, whatever money that person owed or had debts to a company, especially like credit cards terminates with them....By law, survivors aren't obligated to pay those debts...unless of course whatever debt it was, say a loan, etc was a joint account. When my mother died, I did cover letters, filled out forms and sent copies of my mother's death certificate to each and every place my mother had debts too. So you would think that's that, right? No siree. Wrong-o. So here my mother's gone almost a year, and I'm still being hounded by some of these debt collectors, including the jerks at the hospital where she died. Early on, when she first died, I sent a copy of her death certificate which in a way was dumb, as this was the hospital...so of course it was on record she had died. A month after she died, I get a call from these jerks, and even she said I wasn't obligated to pay the bill....oh, sure like I could cough over, over $6 grand at a blink of an eye...NOT...So this person says, send a copy of the death certificate..Like duh? I already did that,but sent another one out anyway...another month passes by...same thing..Same woman, and she says we're still waiting for the death certificate..I sent it, I sent it , I sent it...But send another one anyway--Long story short..I'm still being bugged by not only these people but other collection agencies. Like what the he!! does it take to get these people off my backs already, almost a whole year afterwards? I'm thinking, gee, maybe I should go to the hospital to their billing/payment office. Say whoever is there, my mother would like to pay her long over-due hospital bill. Here she is...and present them with the jar with my mother's cremated remains....or how about this, suggest we hold a seance so she can pay the bill Has anyone else gone through this aggravation when a person dies, and is hounded by collection agency for debts that aren't your responsibility to pay??
