Coming July 10, 2017: Tax Liens, Judgments Removed from Credit Reports, per New Policy

The credit bureaus (also called credit reporting agencies or CRAs) have adopted a new policy: tax liens and judgments will be removed from credit reports if they do not include the proper information identifying them to the individual.

It is estimated that 60% of tax lien information will be removed from credit reports and ALL civil judgment records will be removed!

A release from TransUnion gives some insight about what to expect:

• Based on feedback, most Bankruptcy information will meet the minimum reporting requirements, so don’t expect those to go away.
• The new standards will apply to both new and existing public record data.
• Minimum identifier data required: Name, Address, Social Security # and/or Date of Birth
• Minimum frequency courthouse visits to obtain newly filed data: 90 Days

When it will roll out: During the week of July 10, 2017, the CRAs will remove from their databases previously collected public record data that does not meet the enhanced standards.

Please pass on/share this news, because it will give a lot of folks new hope that they are not forever stuck in bad credit.
