GA DOL lien holding back refinance!

[Sheree H.]

I'm in the middle of refinancing a number of properties, and the title search brought up three liens from GA Dept of Labor on my LLC. My accountant says it was miscalculated, but will take about 5 weeks to get them cleared. I'm even willing to make the payments under the gamble of never getting it refunded, if I can get proper documentation. I'd like to get these resolved as soon as possible to my lender’s satisfaction - does anyone know how? 

I’ve called every number I can find, and even the DOR rep commented that the DOL has shut down. I made a test payment on the GA DOL website to see if I can get a linked receipt, but the email receipt is just a generic email- it doesn’t tie the payment to my llc or lien number.

A side vent: I’m refinancing with Finance of America, with whom I’ve closed over half a dozen refis in four years without much trouble. I don’t know what has changed, but they’ve become slower than molasses and picky as hell. My rep is clueless, underwriting doesn’t seem to know Georgia title standards, and I’m coming up on 120 days with no clear to close.

Thank you for any help on resolving this!

If you take a copy of the liens to the Labor office downtown they will accept cashiers checks and give you paperwork showing it is satisfied while you wait.
