As your lender has asked you to to contact the county recorder's office, I suggest you should better do it. It is from the county recorder's office that you will get the recorded copy.
What the mortgage company is referring to has nothing to do with your deed. When you pay off a mortgage the lender has a certain amount of time (typically 30-60 days) in which to deliver a release or satisfaction of lien - this is a document that states you've satisfied your debt and the lien is extinguished. Please note that sometimes a lender will send this document directly to the borrower, so if you've received a document that states "Release of Mortgage", Satisfaction of Mortgage, Mortgage Discharge, etc. you'll need to have that document recorded with the Recorder's office.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP.
With your assistance, I found that in Michigan (here I live), it's up to the mortgage company to provide to the borrower a copy of the release of lien. So in 7-10 days I'll have all the documents to prove I own the property Free and Clear.
Thanks again ! ! ! ! !

You have said that no money was transferred between the mortgagor and the mortgagee. Do you want to say that the mortgagee haven't received the loan funds as was promised? Is there any documents that the mortgagee has been made to sign under false pretense?
hi Jerry and thanks for your response. Yes the mortgage was signed under false pretense, the the mortgage was for sixty thousand but the property in the mortgage only has a marketable value of eight to eleven thousand. From what I was told it was just to get the house transferred from an individual because they had to disclaim it as an asset for welfare purposes. Looking forward to you next response.

Hi I did not explain properly, the mortgagee is the one who got the mortgagor to sign under false pretenses. The mortgagee in this case is the seller and the lender
As far as the warranty deed is concerned, if no other name is mentioned in the deed apart from yours, then you will be the sole owner of the property.
As far as the mortgage is concerned, yes, this is a mortgage fraud. The lender has done a inflated appraisal and given you the loan. Have you already signed the mortgage note? What are the other documents that you have signed? You should immediately complain about the whole issue to the FTC and the state attorney general.

If a loan was made for $60,000 with property used as collateral but the property is only valued at $8,000, does that mean that the remaining $52,000 would be considered unsecured loan. If so how can I remove the lien for $52,000 back to the borrower so I can clear the title on my property? Thanks
