Legal Question in Tax Law in California

My husband paid off his tax lien and they still haven't delivered/filed whatever paperwork necessary to the bank so that we can have access to our safety deposit box. What can we do at this point? We paid off the debt in full back in February and when we tried to access the box months ago they (the bank) told us we still showed a lien. We've been getting the runaround ever since. What can the hold up be? What are our options? It sounds so simple yet no one involved in the matter seems to take care of whatever has to be done so we can just get his overwith.

Take a look at the letters from the IRS. Call them on the telephone and talk to one of their representatives. Verify that the lien has been paid in full and request that they send a lien release to the bank as well as to record it where they recorded the lien. They should be able to assist you.
