Who should you report credit card fraud and identity theft to?

Answer

Using a decedent's credit card is against the law. It viewed in the same context as "fraudulent use". The best option is contacting the credit card company and relay the necessary information. When a person dies, all creditors are to be notified and accounts closed until the estate is probated or dismissed.
