False Lien on my Property
I have an out of state rental in Webster Groves MO (St Louis Suburb). I just went to refi out of hard money and the title search shows a lien of 16.1k from 5/9/09 from Southwestern Bell Yellow Pages. This lien never showed when I purchased the property in 2013. This is a false lien as i have never had dealings with this company.
How do i go about getting it removed quickly so i can refi?

I got the case number from the title company and looked up the representing attorney. Got to love google. Apparently the judgement is not on the property bu on any Jason Miller in St. Louis or any Jason Miller who has dealings in the city. I have to have the bank pass along info to the attorney's office verifying its not me and have the attorneys office send a written not to the bank verifying the judgement is against someone else. that info then gets sent to the title company.
I do find it discouraging that floating liens can be pushed out there and random people who happen to have the same name, but I don't see that changing anytime soon.
