I have some items to correct on my credit report. One was a state tax lien. My lawyer was supposed to handle this. I wrote him two weeks ago reminding him of this, along with sending him all of the documentation. I haven't heard a thing. Should I go ahead and send my info to the credit company or wait to hear from my attorney? How long?

I would contact him one more time leaving a mesage, like... If i dont hear from you by Firday the following Monday I will be submitting my info to the credit bureaus. I would wait entuirely to long maybe another week or so. unless you know he's always busy, then you determine how long is too long

First thing you need to do is to document and keep a file on everything you send to the credit reporting agencies and anything that shows items should be cleared. Only the company etc. who placed the delinquent info with the credit reporting agencies can remove it. You will need to keep a copy of your paid receipt on that tax lien. It could come back to haunt you later. There are 3 major agencies to worry about. You can dispute anything with each one online anytime.

If you are really upset with your lawyer and you don't think he is doing a good job or acting on your behalf you could always contact another lawyer about suing the first lawyer for malpractice. In general, you should never trust any legal advice you get from the internet because a) most of the people that answer you are NOT lawyers and trained to give legal advice and b) the laws vary from state to state so it is always best to contact a lawyer in your area!!

You could have gotten that taken care of for free by disputing the info on the credit report.
Now, send the info to the credit bureau. Be sure not to send the original copy.

Send the lawyer a certified letter (return receipt requested) that asks what the time frame is for him completing the job you hired him to do. Tell him you expect a reply within three business days.
You'll hear from him.

To me, attornies are notoriously slow, especially when they did not do something they should have.
Give him at least two more weeks. Then call him or his secretary to make sure he got what you sent.
