Title Lien Question

[Stephen Gregory]

We have a house we are selling and have it under contract. We are set to close in about a week. Last week, the title company said that there is a Mortgage lien from US Bank in 2008. We never had a loan through them and when the title company called them to get more info on the lien US bank said that they have no record of a lien on our property. The Title company says that we can't close if theres a lien on the house and they don't know what to do. We've been talking to US bank everyday to try to get the lien removed but they just keep on saying that they have no records of a lien or anything on our address and that they are still looking for documents.....

Help! what can we do about this?

Is there some kind of statue of limitations on this? If they can't provide documentation than is the lien considered void? Has anyone encountered something like this befioe that can give me advice????? We need to close soon!!!!!!

Thanks!
