No, and anyone saying they can change the correct history of your report is lying and part of a popular scam that is regularly investigated and prosecuted by authorities If you have paid the lien, then make sure that the records for all three credit agencies show that. Send a letter and provide the paid receipt The credit report simply is an information service that provides accurate historical information. From that info, the credit providers try and predict your future likely actions... The history of having a lien, or not paying on time is accurate.
They also should be reporting that the lien has been paid and removed. That all by the way will remain part of the permanent records for wherever the claim was filed, all public access If the accurate reporting could be changed to overlook historically correct items , then the service credit reporting cos sell would NOT be worth anything to anybody.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
