I have a tax lien on my credit report that has been paid, but remains on there. I have been told if I tell the IRS that I am attempting to buy a car/house (which I am) then they will remove it bc it will negatively effect my ability to get the loan. I had a creit repair company working on my credit from August-December of last year...then was able to pay the lien in December. I have tried since to dispute it since I paid, and the bureaus respond with "already been disputed...and verified". Obviously the credit repair disputed the item before...
Is it true they will delete it? What would be my next step to get it off?
