First question I got is Why every site that I try to purchase from doesnt accept Discover Card. ive tryed many.? Looking forward for any answer or 2. My 2nd question... I have a tax lien (not Paid) in Cali that was filed in 1994. The lien was being reported by both TU and EQ. I sent 2 DV's, one to TU and one to EQ.

TU removed it right away..

I just received the response from EQ stating that "We have reviewed the Lien information. The results are, unpaid liens will remain on file for indefinite period of time. My question is do I have any recourse? IMO EQ did not take the necessary time to understand what the investigation was about. This item is over 15 years old. I don't know why EQ would continue to list it when TU removed it and it is not showing up on the EX CR..

Any advise would be much appreciated...................

That's a good question. I'm not sure what is the right answer to your question. I'll do some research and get back to you if I find an useful answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably could give you help..

Interesting. Perhaps CA law is more restrictive than federal in this area, at least for residents of CA..

Another thing I ran across is this on CCT's credit reports (they are Experian based). This is stated in each of my three reports:.

But even if you aren't a resident of CA, since the 1994 lien is over 15 years run a CCT, print it and dispute in writing. This would indicate a policy more restrictive than the federal laws and they should be following their own policy in any case..

I would never rely on something from CCT and send my disputes in. CCT is a Tri-merg site, and should only be used for "montioring/and or bumping Inq." and should not take place of your hard reports. Op has enough evidence on what's actually written on EQ's site. I'm wondering tho if they're in a CSC region or EQ region.. though it SHOULDN'T make a difference.. CSC might be going by just "general public" information rather then state specific.. it wouldn't be the first time CSC does something different then EQ does...

Of course you should dispute with printed reports from the CRA, not trimerges, However CCT is an Experian entity and I would include the general comments they make about tax liens being removed after ten years in a dispute as an additional argument for removal. If Experian has a policy of removal after 10 years they have a legal obligation to follow that policy and their own website states a 10 year limit on tax liens...

Except the bureau we are dealing with here is Equifax, not Experian so Experian is not a valid source. A better idea would be to quote the relevant passages of the FCRA and CA statute..

Agreed. However the relevant part of the FCRA provides unlimited reporting of unpaid tax liens. I'm unable to find a relevant CA statute that differs in this area from the FCRA but I assume there is one since the Equifax site specifically provides a 10 year limit on unpaid tax liens for current CA residents. That should suffice, but only if the OP is a current CA resident..
