will liens come off of your credit report in so many years and if so, are they always against you?

Answer 1

liens are removed only when you pay back the amount you owed. If after it's paid and your credit report still notes you owe that amount you need to write them with proof that you've already paid and there is a "satisfaction" by the court.

People say that things are removed from your credit bureau report in 7-10 years (depending on what it is) but I've found out that that info is never totally removed and that employers can still access that for years afterwards.

Even when you get a copy of your credit report you don't get all the pages they have on you.

Answer 2

A lien is a claim against property to secure a debt. It is distinct from the debt itself which appears on your credit report. The lien remains on the property until the debt is paid.

Answer 3

there are several credit bureau reporting agencies - each has its' own guideline for how long it retains information;
normally, depending on the cbr agency - 4-10 yrs after the debt is full paid. after it is full paid the cbr should reflect htat the lien was filed and then fully satisfied.
if the cbr does not drop the info after the approp time frame or adjust the info to show full paid after it is paid - it will be up to you to correspond with the cbr agency to make sure the correct info is reported - this corresponding info shud include supporting documentation - such as the notification of satisfaction.

Answer 4

they will be there until you pay them off
