When a man attempted to apply for a mortgage to move closer to his family, he was hopeful.
However, his hopes were dashed when he was denied. But the situation went from bad to worse when he was told the reason — he had been declared dead by the SSA.
The problem has affected his credit. To be specific, he has none. This has caused him a number of issues. And at 56, it’s hard to start building credit back up. He’s tried to sort it out, but with no luck so far.
As we’ve covered, this issue is far too common. Many people have suffered the same struggle. It’s a harsh problem to deal with. Thankfully these people are alive and well. Hopefully, SSA agents will demonstrate a lively sense of concern in correcting these errors.
