I am cross posting this from the finance section since this section seems to get more takers:
Can anyone explain what this is? Came up on one of the credit bureau's report and we don't know what it is. Am I correct in assuming a state tax lien is for real estate? Can it be for other property owned (i.e. a car???) Is there any other way to get a state tax lien? I'm 99% positive this is an error but until we know all the possible ways to get a state tax lien there is really no way to be 100% sure. I would assume one would remember having a lien placed on their property/themselves? And wouldn't this have an effect on tax refunds, etc???And how is someone supposed to go about trying to figure out what it is and correct it/remove it if it is in fact an error. this says it is from 1997 and hubby has been getting refunds every year he can remember except when he was on unemployment and had to pay. but that was 5 years ago and refunds ever since (with accountants doing the taxes). no medical bills (never been in the hospital) and no kids...never owned a home and only car owned was bought as a gift from his grandmother. we're just a little confused and don't have a clue how to even go about finding out. it is for a minimal amount of money ($266) and from so long ago. all they give you is the month/year, court id number and amount. doesn't even tell you if it was resolved or is still pending. I guess we are going to have to start by calling trenton?? if anyone has any other suggestions we'd really appreciate it!

You might also get a state tax lien for sales tax not paid. Did you own a business and not pay tax? Did you buy something out of state and not forward sales tax? Also, if you were owner of a corporation that did not pay annual corporate tax.
There are probably many others that I am not aware of.
Log onto nj.gov and link to departments/agencies, treasury, tax.
Get the contact number and call and ask for an explanation.
Also write to the credit agency and dispute the claim. I believe they have 60 days to explain or remove the itm. |
