Deceased Credit Reporting Errors
When credit bureaus mistakenly report you as deceased, the consequences are devastating. Your credit is destroyed, accounts are closed, and your financial life comes to a halt. I’ve successfully handled hundreds of these cases and know exactly how to hold the credit bureaus accountable.

You can also learn more about his work against Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion in these types of deceased cases, as well. We have also just released a glossary of important terms about deceased credit reporting under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Credit Bureau Violations
Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion have legal obligations under the FCRA. When they fail to properly investigate disputes or continue reporting inaccurate information, they violate federal law. I pursue maximum compensation for these violations.

About Joseph P. McClelland
I am an attorney with over 25 years of experience specializing in Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) litigation. My practice focuses exclusively on consumer protection, with particular expertise in deceased credit reporting errors—a devastating but often misunderstood area of credit bureau negligence.
Having handled over 300 deceased credit error cases, I understand the unique complexities of these matters. When a credit bureau mistakenly marks you as deceased, it triggers a cascade of financial disasters: credit denials, account closures, loan rejections, and intense emotional distress. These aren’t simple errors that can be fixed with a phone call—they require aggressive legal action.
I am the author of “Identity Theft: The Steps Before Litigation” and have spent my career holding the credit reporting agencies accountable for their failures. I know their systems, their excuses, and most importantly, how to prove their violations in court.
When you work with me, you get direct access to an attorney who specializes in this exact problem. No paralegals handling your case. No generic approach. Just focused, aggressive representation designed to get you the maximum compensation you deserve.
