I just requested a lien release from Ocwen. I don’t anticipate this to go well because it was paid off in 2003 to a different lender – CNI National Mortgage Co (no longer exists) The mortgage originated in 1996. Ocwen doesn’t like to take responsibility for mortgages that were paid off before they acquired them.
When submitting a request for a lien release be sure to have the following documentation to speed things up:
- title search proving the lien is still outstanding
- proof of payoff (HUD statement, cancelled check, paid Note, etc.)
- a copy of the payoff statement issued prior to paying off the mortgage if possible
I had all this information and more. I even had a cancelled check for this one which I don’t always have.
Payoffassist.com says Ocwen is the responsible party.
I emailed my request to cbsglienrelease@ocwen.com
Let’s see how this goes!
I hav a lien release from American Wholesale Lenders Mers what is the next step?

I’m not sure where you live or where the property is, but if you do have a lien release it needs to be filed. In Massachusetts we file lien releases with the county Registry of Deeds in which the property is located.
