I have disputed this item several times. A tax lien was placed on my file in XX/XX/XXXX. It was not supposed to even happen as the filing was inaccurate. I paid the money that the state said I owed to avoid this issue. Despite paying the {$1500.00}, a " lien '' was attached. I immediately, when I found out, addressed this issue. The case is settled, closed and moot. Experian and XXXX XXXX have corrected the issue. Equifax did not. I was denied a student load because of this and disputed the information again in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX so that I could obtain federal student loans. I assumed it was taken care of as I got the loan. I applied for a XXXX XXXX and found this on my file still. I called the pronothary 's office and they CONFIRMED that they do not send information to the credit reporting agencies. I spoke with several agents at Equifax who provided me with canned responses. XXXX said that the dispute had been verified by the pronothary 's office and I advised her that this is simply not true. She then revealed that a third party trolls for the information. I advised them that the information that they placed on my file is in accurate and has caused a ton of hardship. Same response - nothing. I am caught between a rock and a hard place and XXXX office tells me that it is a credit bureau issue and the credit bureau tells me that they are reporting accurate information. I have documentation that the lien is settled and in error and this has been sent several times to Equifax for correction to no avail. I have been given incorrect, inaccurate and downright false informatoin by Equifax employees and I would like this investigated.
