How can i remove a tax lien from my credit report?

Tax lien on my credit report?

  • I had a tax lien that I was completely unaware of and was pretty sure was a mistake. I called the collectors office and they said that tax lien was already paid. Even though I'm pretty sure the tax lien is not rightfully mine, since its paid shouldn't it be off my credit report?

  • Answer:

    You should dispute it in order to get it removed sooner than the 7 years that someone mentioned in their comment.

Whether it's paid or not, you should go down to the Court House to verify it.

Only if it is at least 7 1/2 years old. If it is less than 7 years old, then it should be on the credit report. Tax liens, like everything else bad on a credit report, must stay for at least 7 years, even if paid sooner.

No, it will remain there until it ages out (7 years).
