A: If you recall the Atta Poku case [Kwaku Atta Poku, who lost his Columbia home to foreclosure though he never missed a payment]: He refinanced his loan, he was never in default, but the settlement company never released the lien. The title company never went back to the first lender and paid off the loan to get a lien release. That's part of what we're going to do — we're going to make sure that everything that was supposed to be done, either at closing or post-closing, gets done.
