There are active ongoing consent orders with CFPB. 
I am XXXX XXXX formerly XXXX XXXX at time of purchase of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  from XX/XX/XXXX by a mortgage loan from XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid {$70000.00} in cash to XXXX XXXX XXXX toward the {$360000.00} purchase price. I was under the assumption that at the closing the former owner 's XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX debt attached to this property as collateral were settled from the proceeds of the sale from my purchase. The XXXX XXXX  XXXX number for my loan was XXXX. My loan became modified in XXXX under XXXX XXXX. I discovered recently the former owners debt with JP Morgan Chase financing remained as a lien on my property until XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXwhen Chase filed a record of mortgage satisfaction. Refer to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Clerk Instrument Number : XXXX Recorded on XX/XX/XXXX Parties : XXXX XXXX TO JPMORGAN CHASE BANK NA Receipt Number : XXXX Book-Vol/Pg : Bk-S XXXX XXXX Cashier / Station : XXXX / XXXX. 

Question 1. I want an explanation from Chase as to why the previous owners debt with Chase was not resolved at my original closing in XXXX for which a mortgage satisfaction was supposed to be issued? 2. Why was it not resolved during the XXXX in XXXX which would have been a second opportunity to file Mortgage satisfaction as per statutory requirement? 3. Did Chase receive the {$60000.00} from XXXX XXXX or from XXXX from the proceeds of the sale in XXXX? 4. Did Chase receive the funds from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX? XXXX. What was Chase Banks relationship with the XXXX XXXX XXXX whereby Chase did not have to file mortgage satisfaction in a timely manner as per the statute? 6. Why was I never told about this lien at my closing and thereafter? 7. Were any mortgage satisfactions filed by Chase with the county clerk for the former home owner 's debts or other debts unbeknown to me as per statute from my closing in XX/XX/XXXX? Note that I have no financial relationship with JP Morgan Chase through any financial product, loans credit etc. prior to XXXX until the present day. It appears that Chase used my property as a parking spot for their lien and I want to know why and how this can be permitted?
