I am reading an article on nytimes.com titled "You're Dead? That Won't Stop the Debt Collector" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/04/business/04dead.html?th&emc=th)
Unless there is an estate, the family of the deceased have NO OBLIGATION to pay that person's debts. But since the banks screwed themselves and everyone else in the current financial problems they are getting desperate and are trainign debt collectors to play upon the emotions fo those left behind in order to get paid.
My "favorite" passage : But sentiment also plays a large role, the agencies say. Some relatives are loyal to the credit card or bank in question. Some feel a strong sense of morality, that all debts should be paid. Most of all, people feel they are honoring the wishes of their loved ones.
Just for the record, if I ever pass on (I am planning on living forever but whatever) my wishes are these: 1) some kind of environmentally friendly disposal of my corpse, 2) no funeral or service but a wild night partying and getting drunk 3) FUCK THE PEOPLE I OWE MONEY TO .
Actually the last one should be first. No one in my family should even think IN PASSING of paying these damn people. I will come back and haunt their ass...
The credit companies have screwed too many people especially lately; raising rates because you had a late payment on another card or you make you payments too consistantly and they aren't making money from you late charges.
FUCK THEM
