No, and anyone saying they can change the correct history of your report is lying and part of a popular scam that is regularly investigated and prosecuted by authorities.

If you have paid the lien, then make sure that the records for all three credit agencies show that. Send a letter and provide the paid receipt.

The credit report simply is an information service that provides accurate historical information. From that info, the credit providers try and predict your future likely actions... The history of having a lien, or not paying on time is accurate. They also should be reporting that the lien has been paid and removed. That all by the way will remain part of the permanent records for wherever the claim was filed, all public access.

If the accurate reporting could be changed to overlook historically correct items , then the service credit reporting cos sell would NOT be worth anything to anybody.
