Today the IRS agent told my husband that she would be glad to file for all three liens to be expunged from our files and we should see that take affect right around Thanksgiving. Does this mean that our credit might go up? If so, any guesses on how much? They were three liens in the $2K range (each). Thanks for always being so very helpful!
The IRS is referring to their Fresh Start Program which withdraws the lien from your report. Liens are considered major derogs and affect your score, how much of an increase will depend on how old they are and the remaining items on your reports.
