I borrowed money from XXXX to purchase a condominium. The loan was transferred to Stearns mortgage. The Stearns loan number is XXXX. 
I recently paid off the loan, and received a recorded copy of the release of mortgage. Despite repeated requests for the return of the note, I was provided only a copy - not marked paid in full. 
Stearns has refused to respond to my request for the note, or to advise me whether they have transferred, sold, or otherwise alienated the note. If they have, they should nothave accepted the payoff. I have no way of knowing if the note is presently or will be in the future in the hands of some third party. I would like your help in this matter.
