Old mortgage liens with Associates Financial Services Company Inc.?

[Ibrahim Hughes]

Hi All:

I'm working a deal with an abandoned property that has an old Associates Financial Services Company attached. It originated in 1990 and I was under the impression, from researching my county recorder's office and from my experience, that these liens were being handled by Citifinancial. However, I can't seem to get the right people on the phone to see if I can get the lien discharged.

Does anyone have any experience with discharging 'Associates' liens or have a number for Citifinancial's Lien Release Dept.?

Thanks in advance.
