Help with house title of a fully paid property

Hi Everyone,

In short, may I ask for advice on how to get title cleared from county records?

Long of it. The house is fully paid more than a decade ago. The mortgage company filed the necessary form to the county at that time. However, there’s was a mistake in the form. The county then asked them to clear up the mistake. I was informed by the county as well. But because I was dumb I assumed the mortgage company will take care of it. Recently, I realized that I totally forgotten that I still don’t have the title in my possession. So I went to the county website to request for it, it was then that I realized I still have the mortgage company on record. So then I contacted the mortgage company. Very unfortunately, they no longer have a record of my mortgage. They don’t see that I owe them and they don’t see I don’t owe them and they don’t see any records of me at all. Their explanation was that the company then was bought by the company now. And they said they cannot help me.

So now I’m not sure what’s the next step.

Thank you I’m advance for any input.

Regards,

Chris
