Several years ago DH and his partner's business, which was an LLC, was audited by the State of Illinois for unpaid sales taxes. Despite the best efforts of their attorney, the auditor determined the business owed the taxes. Payments were being made when the business went belly up in 2010. With no revenue to make the payments, they fell behind and a lien was filed against DH and the partner personally. The lien was paid off and released in May 2013. This lien is being reported on DH's reports. Illinois doesn't have a Fresh Start like the IRS program to have liens withdrawn. Trying to find ways to challenge this with the CRAs - has anyone challenged a business tax lien as being improperly reported in the individual's name? Any other ideas on how to challenge this? Thanks in advance for the help!

http://www.state.il.us/court/Opinions/AppellateCourt/2014/1stDistrict/1123681.pdf An Illinois appeals court upheld the dismissal of a proposed class action accusing a law firm of suing on behalf of unlicensed debt collectors in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, ruling Tuesday that a related state law exempts attorneys from such claims. In an opinion penned by Justice Sheldon A. Harris, the state appeals court found that plaintiff Elizabeth Gibbs’ FDCPA claim was based on registration requirements under Illinois' Collection Agency Act, which “expressly excludes” lawyers from its provisions.
