Can tax liens be dismissed under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

Even if you discharge a tax debt in a bankruptcy (which can be done in limited circumstances), the lien associated with that debt is not released by bankruptcy proceedings. The result is that you may come out of bankruptcy with no tax liability, but there may still be a lien on your property. That lien attaches to any equity in your assets that existed prior to the bankruptcy and was exempted in the bankruptcy. For example, if you owned your house and filed bankruptcy with $20,000 of equity in your home, you may have been able to exempt that equity in the bankruptcy through a homestead exemption (so that you could keep your home). If that happened, after your bankruptcy was discharged the IRS would still have a lien against you that attaches to that $20,000 of equity (but not to any equity that accrues after the bankruptcy filing).


What do you do if a dismissed chapter 13 bankruptcy is still showing on your credit report after 7 years?

Get an "official" copy of your bankruptcy documents indicating the date that the Bankruptcy was dismissed. Send the official copies to each of the credit bureaus that are reporting the information and request that they update their files accordingly and to forward to you an updated copy of your credit report. The key word here is "request". do not demand, threaten or utilize any form of aggression. just be simple, polite and to the pint with your request This should solve the problem. Both Experian and Transunion remove a dismissed Chapter 13 bankruptcy after 7 years. Equifax's policy is to keep it on the credit report for 10 years. Has anyone been able to successfully request Equifax to remove this item after 7 years? While it's true that the negative impact of a dismissed bankruptcy filing is diluted with age, any reference to "bankruptcy" still casts a dark shadow on a credit report no matter how long ago it was filed.
