RELEASED vs. Vacated and Withdrawn

[OMW2_HighAcheiver]

Is this the same in regards to a state tax lien?

Depending upon what the terminology designates, the distinction is whether the lien has been satisfied (paid) and thus withdrawn, or whether it has been vacated, meaning expunged from the public record.

Tax liens do not begin the ticking of the 7 year clock for their exclusion unitl they are paid (the lien is released).

Tax liens, as with judgments, can no longer be scored if they are vacated (expunged).

Thanks Robert. It's been paid. State of Michigan said I could purchase a letter of release for the burueas. From the looks of it, I need to get it vacated!

*sigh*

This would be very expensive often over 3k to vacate it, and you need to have a reason a judge will agree too, to get it vacated. Check with your court house for valid reasons to request vacation of your lien.

$3K for what?

Hi OMW,

I have a State of Michigan lien too.  I owed $2K in back taxes.  They were HORRIBLE to work with.  They slapped a lien faster than Denard Robinson's shoe laces come untied.

However, once I paid it off, they withdrew the lien without me asking.  Yes that is correct, the State of Michigan actually was proactive.  Now if they can only fix Flint's Water problem.

Good Morning! 

I actually live in Flint but gratefully, my family is fortunate enough to to NEVER have had to drink faucet water. We've drank bottled water in our home for ever. Even dining out we don't. However, we do have to bathe..... anywho, you only asked the state to withdraw? No written communication? Who did you deal with?

BTW..... My water bill averages $200 PER MONTH! I'm excited to see that 65% bill adjustment since '14.

Cem13. I've had them on my CR since 2010 and 2011 they were both paid in 2010 and 2011. Neither have come off. Was there someone you called?
