Credit report & death
My Mum died three weeks ago & the death was registered today (Coroner involvement).
I'm administering her estate solo. No will. No probate or letters of administration needed due to low value of estate.
Today I used the Tell us Once service and uploaded the death certificate to one bank (so far) after freezing all accounts weeks ago. She had a current account & credit card with them.
Utility companies were notified weeks ago as none required a death certificate.
One of her creditors has added my address to her credit file today (ClearScore). Email notification yesterday.
Via Equifax who she doesn't have an internet account with.
Is this normal procedure and nothing to worry about? Will her address appear on my own credit report?
Do I need to report her death to all the individual credit report agencies?

I’m sorry for your loss. You don’t need to tell any credit reference agencies.
