It depends, maybe someone wants to buy a car, they might need proof of their credit score, some dealerships require you to have a decent credit score; also, when buying a house, your credit score sometimes kicks in, so evidence of your credit score/report are necessary.

Why would checking your credit score effect your credit score?

{| |- | Requesting a credit report will NOT affect your credit. You have the right to look at your credit report without it affecting your credit or score. When you request your credit report it's called a "consumer pull" and has no affect on your credit. The only time when requesting a credit report can affect your credit is when you ask a possible creditor to inquire about your credit. This is because it implies that you're possibly opening a new line of credit. |}


How get a tax lien of your credit report?

You pay off or extinguish the lein. The credit report only reports things of record, both current or past. The lien is a matter of public record. If the Credit Report didn't accurately report such things it would be useless to anyone. Liens are always supposed to be easily found by anyone who cares...they are there to give notice that someone has a claim against that asset (or generally all), that would come before any new claim.

If you file bankruptcy will it also erase a vehicle repossession on another person's credit report?

It doesn't erase anything on your own credit report....just adds to it, why would it change someone elses? It adds that you are a bankrupt as well as having missed payments and had a repossession. A credit report simply reports what happened in the past....what ever you do now does not change it...you live with the history you created.
