In escrow: inspection passed and appraisal came through, figured I was home free. A "new" tax lien showed up on equifax this morning. I use the term "new" loosely. This lien was a mistake. Last year payroll told me about it and I paid it out of my paycheck right away. Two weeks later got a check back from the IRS in that amount with no explanation. When I called the IRS I got the run around, basically they made a mistake and didn't want to come out and say it.
The only credit report that had the lien was TransUnion. I filed the correct paperwork a few months ago with IRS and faxed the release from to TransUnion and it was promptly removed and off my credit report. Now it is back, same amount-$471, different recording date. So I am assuming the County Recorder's office made an error. Instead of deleting they must have opened a new case.
My loan officer told me my credit would not get pulled unless we went over 90 days from last pull, (5/18). I am so close to closing but don't want something like this to screw things up. It's clearly a mistake on someone's part, (IRS or Recorder's office-not mine). Is this something I should tell the loan officer about or wait until this is fixed?
