Unity Scoring Counter Error

Hey everyone, I’m trying to get a scoreboard working in my game by having a score keeper store and print vars to the console (For Now) and whenever the code tries to add to the integers “blueScore” and “redScore” I get this error “NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an Instance of an object…” Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

	void Update () {
	    if (thisObject.position.y < deathHeight)
        {
            if (randomRespawn)
            {
                rangeX = Random.Range(minX, maxX);
                rangeY = Random.Range(minY, maxY);
                rangeZ = Random.Range(minZ, maxZ);
                respawnPosition = new Vector3(rangeX, rangeY, rangeZ);
            }
            rigidObject.velocity = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
            thisObject.position = respawnPosition;
            if (this.name == "Player")
            {
                GetComponent<scoreKeeper>().redScore++;
            }
            if (this.name == "Enemy")
            {
                GetComponent<scoreKeeper>().blueScore++;
            }
        }

does your code enter the loop if (this.name == “Player”) and if (this.name == “Enemy”)?
if it does, show us your scoreKeeper.c
