A Castle Rock man is fighting to save his home and business after he was listed as deceased by credit reporting bureaus. Jerry Powell said everyone should check their credit report for errors to ensure they have time to correct them before they wreak havoc on their lives.

He received a call from a closing officer saying they could not provide him funding.
“She said, ‘You’ve been declared dead. I’m going to send you an email,’” Powell said. “I literally thought to myself, ‘My entire world is about to crumble around me.’”
