Vacate paid tax liens

[Anonymous]

I learned on this forum that I can have paid tax liens vacated and removed.  I have two - one is IRS and the other is Michigan Treasury.  Both are very old - like five years since paid. 

I called Registry of Deeds (they issued the item to my credit report) last week to see about getting one of them deleted.  I was transferred three times before I learned they had no idea what I was talking about. 

Can anyone help with info on where to file the motion to vacate - District Court in my county? Can I file the motion myself?  Recommend calling the Judge's clerk?  Any advice to help me get rolling would be appreciated.

I have the same problem with a state tax lien in Georgia. I called the courthouse and was told they don't vacate tax liens unless I could prove there was a mistake. I called the Dept of Revenue and they said they just report and it's up to the CRA to delete. CRA's told me they can't delete without permission from the Court or if the Court doesn't verify. I was only successful getting the tax lien deleted from EX. Good luck to you.

I got an email reply from a district court judge's clerk today that he doesn't know where I'd start to vacate paid tax liens. 

I thought I read something on this forum that someone had vacated one at a court.  

If anyone has info, please pass it on.

Most times you can file the motion to vacate yourself.

Check your state statutes.
