Expunged Lien ?

California

We missed his payment being made, we changed systems and payment was not recorded properly. He wrote back the following. I have never heard of this ? We released his lien right away then we receive the following. Over the weekend, I received multiple hard copies of the Release of Mechanic's Lien, which was inadvertently placed on my property. Unfortunately, Chantel Jackson, did not properly or legally correct her initial oversight filing. It appears she took the quick and easy fix and checked the box saying "lien has been paid and satisfied in full". This statement is factually and legally incorrect. As you know, I paid all outstanding invoices many weeks before the lien was inadvertently placed on my property. Under CA law for situations like this one, the lien must be expunged not just released, thus eliminating it entirely from my records. If Chantel does not understand this, I am more than happy to explain the process to her. All things considered, I don't think it's unreasonable for me to ask that this matter be properly and legally resolved.
