HELP!

I closed on property 06/21/2018, and paid. The closing company, Service Link, is out of state. They e-mailed me a copy of the deed and said they would have it recorded ASAP. I looked at the deed and noticed the legal description was incorrect, wrong block, wrong lot. I notified Service Link of the error and they said they had to send it for recording and would correct when it was returned. I have tried to contact them every week and rarely receive a reply, but today they send me a copy of the deed they were sending, 10/04/2018, to be recorded and it has the same error, wrong block, wrong lot. They also changed the purchase date to 10/02/2018 and want me to sign an addendum that says I am requesting the closing date be changed and that the seller can cancel sale or charge me a per diem. I told them I would not sign it. I have buyer but can't sell it until it is in my name.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Another reason to never use xhome’s title co.  It makes more sense to have the selling bank sign a correct d deed, or at the bery least execute a scrivner’s error affidavit with it. Try to escalate to the actual seller, this was service link’s error....and yes, you Have already closed.

    Wayne the seller is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac)and the use of Service Link was required by the seller. I have not had success in contacting anyone at Freddie Mac that could help me or point me in the right direction.
