The estate should not be penalized just because the bureaucratic process of obtaining death certificates takes 8-10 weeks. When the death certificate is provided the estate can pay for services used up until the notice was given to the company and everyone would be satisfied and the company would not look like they are trying to squeeze a couple extra dollars out of the estate.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17664622 Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:00:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17664476 jtel : I'm sure Sprint makes use of this on a regular basis to avoid fraud. I can't see any reason not to send a copy of the death certificate if a relatives intention is to leave no loose ends but either way the SSDI would show the persons SS# when it was updated. If the account was still considered open etc I would think the Sprint fraud dept. would start investigating why there is an open account in a dead persons name.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17664476 Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:34:53 EDT
