Interesting credit card issue for deceased family member

I suspect at this point, you will need to send them a certified letter telling them to quit. And if they don't you might just have a decent law suit on your hands with a nice pay out when you sue the pants off of them!

So far they’ve only contacted her by mail. That’s easy to ignore. If they start calling and refuse to stop, I’ll get a lawyer involved. I have enough lawyer friends who would be happy to send a letter.

Must be nice to know attorneys who can draft a letter for you. Through work I pay $20 a month for this exact group legal service which covers these services. I have not needed to use any services yet but it's nice to know it'll be there if needed.

It's come in handy a number of times over the years. Of course, them having a friend who is a doctor has come in handy for them a number of times, too.

That sounds like a frustrating situation. Hopefully, the Discover mix-up is just a one-time thing and won't lead to more unwanted mail. Dealing with these posthumous financial matters can be a hassle. It's good that you responded to the collection agency and contacted Discover to clarify things.
