Tax liens can stay on your credit report for 10 years since they are a government entity putting it there. But they should never stay on there that long. You can dispute the tax lien with the credit bureaus to get it off.It shouldn't be verified after that long unless you owe an very very large amount.
Not being verified it should be removed from your credit report.
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.
