Major Credit Bureaus Removing Tax Liens from Credit Reports

March 26, 2018

Houston, TX - The nationwide consumer credit bureau TransUnion has announced its intention to cease reporting tax lien data on its consumer credit reports starting the week of April 16, 2018 to better meet the standards of the National Consumer Assistance Plan (“NCAP”), an initiative started by the three major nationwide consumer credit bureaus.

The other two major credit bureaus involved in the NCAP, Equifax and Experian, are also expected to remove tax liens from their credit reports starting in April. As a result, clients of AAA Credit Screening Services will no longer see tax liens on the credit reports they order after April.

Tax liens can indicate potential wage garnishment, which can negatively affect an individual’s ability to pay new debts despite an income and debt level that would suggest otherwise.

Clients of AAA Credit Screening Services who are concerned about this potential gap in reporting can be assured that all consumer tax lien information is conveyed to them by ordering a Civil County Court Record Report, which will provide information about claims, suits and judgments filed by individuals or corporations against other private parties or corporations.

NOTE for Landlords: Along with the tax lien information, eviction records will no longer be shown on credit reports making it essential for landlords to obtain civil court records to see this information.
