My father passed away in January 2013 and I just received a letter from DCM. I Googled ‘dcm services,’ found this useful blog post, and figured I’d share some info that people might find helpful. Coincidentally, my dad was also a Vietnam vet (dog handler at Phan Rang AFB around ’68 – ’69). He had a few thousand dollar balance on an AMEX card when he died. He had been an AMEX customer since the late 70s — the fact that he had a few thou in debt was not unusual and I was well aware of it.
