The Unfunded Mortgage - How Lien Sweeper Can Help.

THE PROBLEM - Years back, our customer had granted to MERS a $45K mortgage. However, the following day they decided to increase the loan amount, and a new mortgage was prepared and executed. Unfortunately, both the $45K unfunded mortgage and the larger mortgage were recorded on the land records. 

When our customer went to refinance, the smaller $45K mortgage appeared on the title. Neither the Lender nor MERS servicer had any record of this mortgage and they were refusing our customer’s request for a release.  

THE SOLUTION - After working with our contacts at the Lender and Mortgage Servicer, we were able to reach a solution whereby the Servicer agreed to provide a release. Our customer was then able to move forward with their refinance.

If you are dealing with an unfunded mortgage, give us a call at 844-204-6310. If we cannot track down the release / discharge you need, we will WAIVE ALL OUR FEES!
