Unable to obtain lien release

[Jochy Perez]

Hi everyone, 

Under contract to purchase an REO property and it was discovered there's an old mortgage from 1997 which was assigned in 2000 to IMC Company Co, Tampa FL.

IMC Company Co is no longer in business and from the research I have done, they were acquired by CitiFinancial which I believe is no longer in business as well. 

Trying to figure out how to obtain a lien release for this old mortgage. 

The attorney hired a title curative company to see if they can find something, I also filed a case with the FDIC for the release to see if they can do.

Want to see if anyone has any experience or other suggestions on this
