A few months ago ( for the first time ) a tax lien appeared on my credit report from 2012. I immediately disputed it - only to have Transunion update it as " paid. '' I do not dispute that there is a case and docket showing where a lien was filed and then paid. I dispute that the filing ever should have happened. The tax assessors office admittedly did not mail the notice to the correct address - prior to filing the lien. It is my position that because this was the tax assessor 's office error and not mine - it should not be on my credit report. Moreover, Transunion has an obligation to ensure that the information they are reporting is valid. I have requested the investigation notes, persons interviewed and have not received that information yet.I only get general language about how investigations are conducted in general. Transunion has failed to verify this information and are only reviewing that it was filed. I have also reported this to the XXXX ( Case XXXX ) and with CFPB ( XXXX )
