Name change

When you get a name change (mainly the last name), how will the CRAs know?

Re: Name change

Send documents to them (new driver's license, legal document if court changed, utility bills with new name, etc.).

Thank you! What about CCs? Same thing?

Re: Name change

I would call them and ask their policies.  In my first marriage (oh, the memories) my wife was able to just call them and get a new CC issued with my last name.  That was in 1999 though, so things might have changed.
