In today’s world where credit history plays a key role in obtaining financial services, the possibility of being incorrectly declared dead by the credit bureau TransUnion becomes a serious challenge. Such a mistake can close the doors to many opportunities in front of you and seriously affect your life.
Causes and Consequences
An error can occur for a multitude of reasons ranging from technical glitches to human error. The consequences of such a mistake range from denial of credit to problems with insurance contracts and obtaining a mortgage.
Real people’s stories
- John from California: John planned to purchase a car on credit, but his application was rejected. The reason was a credit report provided by TransUnion stating that he was supposedly deceased. John spent months trying to correct the error, communicating with banks and credit bureaus, but without success. Not only did it prevent him from buying a car, but it also damaged his reputation and financial health.
- Maria from Florida: After dreaming of owning her own home for years, Maria finally found the perfect one and applied for a mortgage.

Maria found herself confused and desperate, not knowing how to proceed.
- Robert from New York: Robert discovered that his life insurance application had been rejected. He soon found out that TransUnion had mistakenly labeled him as deceased. Robert faced serious challenges in trying to prove his survivability and recover the truth.
