If you have a Lien Release Letter from a Foreclosure what should I do?

[Anonymous]

My friend went thru a bad divorce last year and her house foreclosed. Its with Citi and it is on her credit reports as a foreclosure however she recieved a letter from Citi stating that the loan was paid in full ( bought on the courthouse steps via auction) . So the new buyers paid cash for the house however she recieved this letter. What would be my best bet to try and get this off her credit? I was going to just write a letter and attach the letter to all 3 bureaus. Thanks

Who filed the lien on the property, and what was the basis of the lien (e.g., unpaid taxes, a second trust, a judgment lien)?

It was a foreclosure from Citi Bank and Citi Auctioned it off. She recieved this letter from Citi when the new owners paid the loan .. There was a $150k deficiet ... however the letter says the loan has been paid in full.

Its still a valid FC and that isnt going to change even with it PIF. A GW letter asking for removal is whats needed.

Then the reporting is apparently of a foreclosure, not a lien and its release........
