Hi!  I work for a mortgage company out of New Jersey, but I can tell you that the proper way to remove a mortgage from a company that filed bankruptcy is this:  find out who the bankruptcy court gave authority to discharge debts.  You will need to look up the original case.  For example, we recently did a closing wherein Olympia Mortgage Co. still showed an outstanding unsatisfied mortgage.  For those of you who remember the scandal a few years ago, Olympia Mortgage officers were pocketing payments made to them instead of applying them to the loans.  Created quite a stir with Fannie Mae And FHLA.  Anyways, long story short...they were prosecuted and their loans were reassigned to Fannie Mae.  An attorney was appointed on their behalf to act as their receiver.  In order for us to get the mortgage satisfied, we had to request a letter from her and have that recorded as a satisfaction piece.  This information can be found very easily over the internet.  I suggest you do a little research to save yourself a lot of trouble later.  Good luck!
