Like I would care if Lexus Nexus thought I was deceased!
Lexis Nexus should be out if business. Everything they do seems illegal. I had a judge rule that a car accident was NOT my fault, in a trial. I contested the ticket that the trooper cited me as being at fault and the Judge saw it the same way as me and threw it out and said it would not be on my record….but good old NL wanted to dismiss what the Judge ruled and report the info anyway.
