Hi. I'm a newbie, but I've been following on here for quite some time, and I think i'm getting the hang of it LOL.
Anyway. Trying to clean up my hubbys credit. He had a Tax Lien in 2007 showing as released. I tried GW the state of Idaho and I got this response--
The lien # xxxxx was released Nov. 30, 2007 and recorded as such in the Secretary of State’s Office and Public Records. The credit reporting companies hire people to search the Public Records for lien information and they are not always quick to update what they find. The Tax Commission has no contact with any of the credit reporting companies. Those companies can show information for up to 7 years but after that they should take the lien info off the report. It is recommended that you obtain a certified lien release letter to keep for your own records and then make copies of it when needed. If you would like to have a certified lien release letter for your records please provide the last 4 digits of your ssn and I can mail it to you. Or if you wish, you can come in and pick it up personally.
Well, they've already sent the release letter prior to this GW...so my question is..
Could I take this and do a dispute letter to the CRA's asking specifically for them to report back:
(a) The name of the courthouse;
(b) the person’s name they verified the dispute with;
(c) the address;
(d) the telephone number; and
(e) the documentation used to verify the dispute.
Because the Tax Commission doesn't verify per the response above, wouldn't this be a way to get it removed from CR?
Any advice would be great. Thank you.
