But the refinancing has been stalled due to a surprise DOT being recorded against the property in April by the Small Business Administration. SBA liened the wrong property of the prior owner (for a small business loan) and is now dragging its feet in removing the DOT. Client is about to lose his locked-in refinance rate. I want to remove the lien, but I don't see a statutory provision under DOT statute RCW 61.24 with rules for removal of a frivolous/erroneous DOT. Nor under RCW 60, except maybe 60.70 for a nonconsensual common law lien? All I can think of is a slander of title claim, but that would be a longer process. What am I missing?
