The credit reporting agencies have a legal obligation to

correct any inconsistencies on your credit report.

They'll take care of it, I'm sure (if they haven't

already).

If they really aren't, threaten legal action. If this has

caused yoiu financial damage, you could sue them or the

company that reported you as deceased for negligence.
