If the lien is PROPERLY placed on property, then it needs to be satisfied before it will be removed (or if nobody acts on it, it may expire after a certain period of time - like 5 years....)As to the release from liability statement - that is probably meaningless as to the other unit owners.

I do have all offical documents that back my statements up.

I'm going to add to what Rob said and just say that you have to also have reestablished your credit- You need at least 3 cards for a 1yr period.No lates, no charge offs, not even an NSF fee on your bank statement.

Ask them for a mortgage statement or question them directly about mortgage insurance.

I agree with this statement.

You and I both have our thoughts about tht statement.

If he was properly noticed, then I would say you could cash the check and send him a statement showing his past due balance and any applicable late fee.

I think I have to further my statement.  

Each party should keep all their invoices, receipts, credit cards statements, etc. to substantiate the amount one claims, for reimbursement, when the HUD-1 is drafted, for the backend closing, by the Title Company.

It's super rare my tenants ever pay with CC.My old merchant account (pre Rentec) had fees galore and the statement was impossible to decipher; every different card had a different fee associated with it.
