As far as the differing amounts, I don’t think the lein letter has the amount on it but depending on the lender that practice could change. I would have the owner write a real reciept and a lower one. Then when you get the lein release, if there is no amount, go for the lesser value.

The check will clear. That doesn’t mean that they will clear the lein on record immediately. My check cleared but the loan status was still showing a balance for a few days later. The amount needed to be “posted”. Hopefully HSBC is a little more efficient.

The speed of business is wonderful.

well.

she said, that they could give me a peice of paper, stating the remaining balance has been paid off?

I don’t know. But we shall see.

If I’m complaining about some loud, turbo’ed thing in my driveway Monday… he got it.

So what is the loud turbo’d thing in question?

I know of two possibilities.
