We are trying to find out who took over the accounts for CityFed
Mortgage located at 30 Warden Street, Springfield, OH 45501 phone #
513-342-6700.  We believe it became The Kissel Co, with an address of
P.O. Box 1686, Springfield, OH 45501.  The mortgage was paid off in
91, but we have no records.  We just need to know what happen to these
companies & their records.
Thanks,
Rick Martinez

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 10 Dec 2005 13:02 PST

Somewhere in the bowels of some government agency is the information
you're looking for.

I've only gotten a step closer, though.  CityFed (which was originally
names Kissel Co.), was actually a Florida company that did business in
Ohio.  Here's a copy of it's FL registration:

Unfortunately, nothing there about who currently has their records. 
I'll let you know if anything else turns up.

Clarification of Question by rick16-ga on 12 Dec 2005 06:56 PST

This is a question at is rather clear. I'm not sure what additional
information you need.  If we had the answers, we wouldn't be paying
your company to do the research.  We appreciate your effort.

I have been researching Kissell Company and Cityfed Mortgage too, but
both appear to be out of business.  One possible solution may be as
suggested by a Robert J. Bruss article in 11/12/06 Los Angeles Real
Estate section:  "If you can't find evidence the loan was cleared from
the title to your home, your next stop should be the office of the
title company that insured your deed when you bought your home. 
Explain the problem and see if the company's records show the loan
payoff.  If not, then you might have to bring a quiet title action if
the mortgage lender is out of business."  I hope this helps.
