<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I tend to be draconian on this point and generally never supply additional information to a creditor. And I agree, the deadline to file a creditor claim is
 not tolled so long as the statutory notice has been provided.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">My attitude is, if an organization is big enough that it can't track its relationship with the decedent, then it deserves no accommodation beyond what is statutorily
 required. That is how the process works, and for big organizations it's only money as far as they are concerned. If they can't be bothered to track matters sufficient to protect their legal interest, I am not bothered by allowing the statutory process to bar
 their debt.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">Obviously this never happens with small business creditors, personal loans from friends and family members, etc. Because they know the decedent and they have
 no confusion about who has died. It's only banks, credit cards, collection agencies, and the like who end up barred in these circumstances.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

 that "Can not process or verify without the patient's date of birth." We did include the reference number for the invoice from this creditor in our cover letter to the creditor. <u></u><u></u></p>
