A credit file at TransUnion is neither an asset nor a debt of the estate. Notifying TransUnion of the death does two things: it gets a deceased indicator onto the file, and it gives the executor access to the credit report — the most complete list of the open accounts, loans, and card balances the estate must resolve.
The steps below cover how the executor reports a death to TransUnion and obtains the deceased person's credit report.
