[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know how you feel. The never ending tasks made so much harder because of the ridiculous ever changing rules. As I argued with McAffee to cancel my dead father's account the customer service rep insisted that he needed to speak with my father (the dead one) in order to cancel. So in desperation my husband got on the phone said he was my father (the dead one) and stated he wanted his account closed. The customer service rep cheerfully closed the account.  [/quote]

Now that's a "life hack"![/quote]

I am receiving the previous tenant’s (she is deceased) Verizon bills. I did the RTS (deceased) thing but it didn’t help. I am debating if I should call pretending to be her and cancel the account![/quote]

Doooo it![/quote]

And I won’t get in trouble?!

When I got the keys to the mailbox I discovered a huge pile of mail. Management just told me to throw it all in the trash :( I went with RTS; deceased but omg it keeps coming. Her family (not kids) are in another state I am told.

I have already cancelled her magazine subscriptions (that was weirdly easy, I just needed the name and address to do it online!) and wrote back to a couple of donation soliciting places (using their provided envelopes).

Letter Carrier here. Put YOUR name on the mailbox 'Larla Smith ONLY' so the carrier knows who actually should be getting mail there. Let the USPS return all the other mail. It's what we do. But sometimes we don't know that someone has passed, particularly in apartments/condos. So put your name in the box.[/quote]
