So I've had flawless credit my entire life, up until recently when I found out my credit went from about 800 down to 550 without me doing anything to negatively affect it. Checking my report I got from Credit Karma, I see that my father's name (easy to distinguish because he has a different middle initial, which is abbreviated in these reports) appear next to all of these new negative items on my report.
First of all, I just don't understand how this could even happen. We obviously have different SSN #'s, and what does him passing away have to do with all of his negative credit items being transferred to me?
Second, and more importantly, how do I go about getting this resolved? I'm just a little overwhelmed and am not sure where to start. I am going to be looking to rent a new condo in the coming months and I'm scared this is going to ruin those chances.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
