NICB. The National Insurance Crime Bureau has a database that makes the CIA's and FBI's look like a policeman's pocket pad. When I was at the Auto Theft Task Force, I had access to it. There were times that I would be trying to find information and run dry in all state and county databases, as well as Accurint. NICB always had the goods.
It could of been just a random phone solicitor that had nothing to do with the online quote request.
MrsSmith -Oh, they just keep selling the debt to some other company. It's been 4 years and countless companies...it's a new name every time someone gives up and answers or returns a call.
I work for a timeshare company. For some reason, whenever we get a death certificate the status is changed to deceased, but the account will still be assigned to collections. Once collections receives a copy of the death certificate, they cancel the account. But sometimes our company continues to assign these accounts to collections.
It's messed up. I asked about it, but my supervisor said that was the policy and how things need to be done.
I hate it.

I know in MA and FL debt collectors have one year from time of death to present to estate proof of outstanding debt. After that they are out of luck. I would imagine that this is a law that is common throughout most states. If the calls continue you should report them to your state's consumer protection agency (AG usually oversees).
