Hi everyone, Well we're at the point now that 3 of our 6 reports are completely clean. EQ went up 32 points with the removal of the last lien. This was an unpaid tax lien and one of the two liens the IRS withdrew after my letter requesting they do so, so that I could obtain financing to pay them. (By the way, they are only collecting on the 8 year old one, not the 10 year old one.) It's kind of amazing to me the impact an 8 year old lien can still have on the scores. And by the way. I HAD disputed it and EQ verified! Anyway, the IRS fulfilled their end of the bargain by sending letters to each CRA and the courthouses along with copies of the withdrawal forms. They sent me copies of everything. It's been just over 2 weeks since they called me and let me know they would be honoring my request. It was originally submitted June 4, 2002 directly to Commissioner Rosotti's office. There was one followup letter from his office about 30 days later. So, it CAN be done. If you need more info about how to go about having an IRS lien withdrawn here are some threads about it. http://consumers.creditnet.com/straighttalk/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=184878#post184878 http://consumers.creditnet.com/straighttalk/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=192489#post192489 http://consumers.creditnet.com/straighttalk/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=214503#post214503 DemPooches
