Please review the attached mortgage prepared by Bank of America. I am the current resident at the property address on the mortgage and am in the process of selling the home. This mortgage was discovered during the title search and has been delaying the sale of my home for about two months with what I now understand to be " XXXX ''. I think the biggest problem with the mortgage is that it was recorded a full year after it was prepared so the title companies involved never knew it was there. Also, I ca n't understand why I had to call them to get the release of lien started ; should n't that be done when the lien is paid off? I think there was some intentional fraud here on behalf of the previous owner and someone that works at that branch. The previous owner went through the closing of the property in question and her new home in Texas without disclosing this mortgage. Please help me to get the release sent to my title company so I can close on my short-sale before it falls through!!
