Has anyone successfully had a PAID tax lien vacated?

Nov 182010
 

I have some NY state paid liens, and also a paid Federal lien.

 

I did pay them all off through payment plans with each respective agency.  Somewhere online I’d read that the IRS can withdraw a tax lien only if:

 

1. The federal tax lien notice was filed too soon or not according to IRS procedures

2. You entered into an installment agreement to to pay the tax lien debt on the notice of lien

3. Withdrawal will speed the collection of tax

4. Withdrawal would be in your best interes (as determined by the taxpayer advocate) and in the best interest of the US government

 

 

Now, I haven’t called my taxpayer advocate, but I do have legal insurance through ARAG and a very nice general NACA lawyer who would probably look into this for me, but I’m doing my due diligence first. Has anyone filed a motion to vacate a tax lien on the basis of items #2 and #4, above? Been sucessful or know anyone who has been?

 

Anyone have any advice or input? My public records are basically by only remaining baddies but I only recently finished paying off the liens, so they will be reporting forever unless I have them vacated. I want to go back to school (with loans!), I want to buy a home, I want to just be free and clear to do what I need to do.

 

Help if you can!

Medical Collection Deleted

Feb 222010
 

I received an alert yesterday that my Equifax score had changed +6.  When I pulled the report today, I saw where two  (paid) medical colllections had been deleted.  They were from TeleRecovery - I had spoken to them and written them, and was told repeatedly that they had to report these by law.  I had sent them one HIPAA letter which they ignored.  Last week I found an email address and sent them two more HIPAA type letters and they responded back by asking me to only contact them by mail (how ironic);  so I wrote yet another memo and faxed it to them.  I really had given up – so I was surprised to see their absence on both Equifax and Transunion (this score remained the same).  Now on to my only remaining baddies, Cap One and Midland.
