Deceased identity theft, often referred to as ghosting, involves stealing personal info about the deceased for the purposes of fraud, including opening credit card accounts, obtaining loans, and collecting tax benefits. Around 2.5 million Americans fall victim to deceased identity theft annually.
Fortunately, there are a variety of things that families can do to lower the risk of identity theft.
One of them is a service we offer at Peacefully. You fill out a form that takes five minutes to complete, and we get your loved one’s credit report, freeze their credit, get rid of their driver’s license, and remove them from advertisers’ lists and election records.
To make sure everyone can afford this service, we charge only $29.99. Click here to get started.
If $29.99 is not accessible to you, or you prefer to handle each step yourself, we can still help. Here are the instructions for how to prevent identity theft:
