Yes, I got copies of them and sent with the complaint. Only the last four of the SSN.
Thanks for responding. I think I just need to be patient.

Thanks again for all the the great people who helped me. Special thanks to Creditinspired!

Wow! That's is awesome! And to go from the low 500's to 748 - that's well over 200pts turnaround. Your good credit will go a longs way.
Congratulations again!

Here was an interesting tidbit:
"Tax Liens and Bankruptcies are a matter of public record. Although the court where the disputed public records are filed may not report this type of data, a vendor may collect this data directly from the court’s public records and supply that information to Experian."
Does that mean they can use a third party to produce the information missing from the lien?
In my case, these were brand new and already handled. Even if they were contracting out to someone, I don't see where they would have had the time to get my birthday and SSN from another source.
Guess I will wait to see what the other two say.
^^^this sounds like just standard response. Like creditinspired said, the court records usually don't record that kind of info for the public.

They both use vendor services.They take the word of the vendor over anything including proof the info is incorrect. When we had tax liens due to id fraud we had lien releases and withdrawals in our hands and recorded. EXp and Tu came clean but Equifax kept trying to verify saying it was the vendor. The vendor said said we did not report because it lacked all the info. Ie ssn, dob It finally got fixed but it took everything short of a lawsuit. Multiple CFPB complaints to get Equifax on the right page.
Well, Equifax finally responded. I am haing to fight Experian on two of my Liens. equifax said the following:
Tax Liens case numbers X, Yand Z are currently not reporting on the Equifax credit file.
I wonder if this means they were never there? Equifax was the only one I couldn't get a free check of when I found the other two.
Transuniuon is still out.

Ok, EXP replied and removed all my Liens.
In my case, it worked better when I disputed with the CB directly instead of the CFPB. They seemed to pay more attention to my documentation. (Or maybe they aren't taking the CFPB as seriously now that that idiot is in charge of it.)
Anyway, my cause was due to the lien only containg the last 4 of SSN. Once I sent EXP a copy of the lien, they removed.
Thanks to everybody in this forum for their help.
