Now for my problem. I only pay in cash. I was raised this way. If I do not have the cash, I will not buy it. I learned from the Depression. I owe nothing to anyone! Geez you would think this is great, but my credit score has gone down to 699. Before with a mortgage, I had an 800 score! Paying in cash and owing nothing to anyone has cost me my credit score to drop by 150 points!

I had a federal tax lien for $66,000 put on court records Nov.of 1997. It was for self employment tax years 1986-1996. I spoke with a tax attorney two years ago and he said most had expired then and all would be expired by Feb 2008. It is now June 2008 and two of the three services are still reporting it. How do I correct this? At the court house, at the credit bureaus, how?
