kitakat Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 We had a tax lien filed in 1994. In October, 1998 we filed chapter 13 which included the repayment of these taxes. The Chapter 13 was a 60 month pay off ending in October, 2003 and was finally "discharged" in February 2004. It took until May 2004 to get the tax lien released.THE QUESTION : The tax lien will now be reported as paid for another 10 years - totalling 20 years from 1994 to 2014. Is this corrrect or should it be reported as part of the 13 since the 13 was the only way we were allowed to pay it off?It appears we are actually being penalized for paying our debts. And, unfortunately our attorney put our files in storage before the case was over and won't get them out unless we pay him more money. But that is another rant.

Methuss Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 "By the book" paid tax liens come off 7 years after they are satisfied. Although I think there is some provision for BK-13s that would take it off sooner (filing date?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitakat Posted August 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Thanks..Do you have any idea how to research that? I have spent a lot of time (and unfortunately money on the credit bureau web sites) and don't seem to be able to find anything but the tax lein comes off 7 after being satisfied. I sure would appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
