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.

You need to actually search the county. Often times ownership information from the tax office is simply reflecting who last submitted ownership information to them via letter or phone call. To get an actual and accurate reading of the owner you need to check County records. Whatever Department Records Deeds or deeds of trust.
