Hi All,
My husband recently passed away and left a large amount of credit card debt that I was unaware of until after his death, most of it used for his business. $40k + on one series of accounts (most business accounts), and nearly $20k on another personal account. We called the creditors to tell them of the death, and they asked if there was a plan to pay. I indicated that there was no estate, and no resources to pay. They then said that they would investigate, and if nothing was found, they would write off the debt.
Less than 2 weeks later, the calls and letters began.
