Ditto to David's comment here.

We've had a similar problem with the fact that information is not central or shared, though it was more of a pain to someone else. Shortly after purchasing our house, we got a ticket for construction debris in the backyard left overnight one day while remodeling. Problem was they wrote the ticket to the name they had on the deed, which was the previous owner. God bless him, he went back and forth to DC courts and agencies trying to show that he didn't own the house at the time and doesn't today. He had a copy of the HUD-1 and every known paper to prove that he sold the house before the ticket. Judge looked at one of them and said it wasn't conclusive. Ha! Someone else ended up throwing it out for him, thankfully, but it was a pain for him. Centralized, up-to-date record keeping could've prevented it.

Glad you got yours sorted out, David.
