You probably can't have them removed from your credit report. However, you have a couple of ways to try to reduce the impact. One is to contact the agency which holds each lien and ask them to file information with the credit bureaus to show that the underlying debt was paid off and the lien released. The other is to put that same information into a letter you write and ask the credit reporting company to put in your file as supplemental information. As long as the liens were validly issued, however, you can't dispute them and they won't generally be removed, because they are part of your credit history. If they weren't valid, however, you can dispute the information. Best wishes to you.
