The XXXX placed an illegal lien against me in XXXX XXXX when the person holding my power of attorney had entered into negotiations with the XXXX to make payment arrangements and to revise and resubmit my tax filings for the years in question in XXXX XXXX. Per an XXXX agent in XXXX Idaho ... .this filing was in direct violation of XXXX rules and procedures and the lien should never have been placed. The check for payment was then processed by the XXXX for the full amount one week later which means it was probably held up by mail volume at that time. Per my credit check in XXXX XXXX, the XXXX had not released the lien which, even if it was legal, should have been satisfied more than four years ago and reflected that fact on my credit record. It is the XXXX administrative incompetence that has caused this problem and now both Transunion and XXXX are refusing to correct my credit report to reflect 1 ) that the lien never should have been placed and 2 ) that it was satisfied in XXXX XXXX anyway. I submitted documents given to me by the XXXX agent in XXXX and XXXX is saying that it is not enough, and Transunion is refusing to remove it at all from my credit record with no explanation saying it will remain on my credit record until XXXX, when it never should have been made in the first place. So because Transunion and XXXX would rather play nice with the XXXX rather than do the right thing, my credit score is about XXXX pts lower than it should be. I would like XXXX these companies ordered to remove any record of that tax lien from my credit record as XXXX has done. All XXXX companies received the same information and the same letter from me explaining that the XXXX up but only XXXX understood the issue. If they still refuse to remove any reference to the lien, I will be forced to take legal action against them in federal court for deliberate wrongful reporting of a credit record, which is fraud. I am unable to attach the XXXX records at this time but can mail you a copy if you request it.
