angiejean74 asked:


I have a tax lien that originally reported 10/96 and was paid 2/02. How long until it doesn’t show at all on my credit report, as it’s still giving me grief!!!
Also, I have a paid judgement from a car accident. How long until that no longer shows… if at all?

   A tax lien will stay on your report for 7 years from the date of release/payment.
   Unless you are in Ca. then regardless if it’s paid or unpaid it will take 10 years for it to fall off.

   Make sure that your credit reports are listing it as paid or it can remain indefinately on Equifax and Trans Union and 15 years for Experian.

   Judgments report for 7 years from the date when they were filed.
