Deceased SuppressionTo avoid the unnecessary upset that can be caused by people receiving communications addressed to their deceased loved ones, it is good practise to regularly screen your database against the available industry files. We use a number of Deceased Suppression files to maximise our ability to identify such addresses: Mortascreen Mortascreen is a register of deceased individuals collected from probate and contains anyone who had an estate of over £5,000 in England and Wales since 1989 or over £15,000 in Scotland since 1996. it comprises 5 million names and is updated monthly. The Bereavement Register The Bereavement Register (TBR) is information captured by the ReAD Group from a scheme that distributes booklets with tear-off cards from key locations. All cards are then validated against a UK residents’ database. The file now comprises 4.5 million names and is updated weekly. Registered Trust List The Registered Trust List (LTR) is a list of deceased persons supplied by Experian, collected from relatives of deceased individuals correcting address information that has been sent to them. The file comprises over 20,000 names and is updated monthly. Experian Sourced Deceased The Experian Sourced Deceased information comes from the Experian credit-checking system. When credit cards are cancelled or amended, Experian track these changes and are able to identify those where the changes are due to bereavement. The file comprises 485,00 records and is updated monthly.
