There is no real answer good answer--

1st- if this is on your credit, it won't improve your scores for atleast 3 months as you will be giving an old bad debt a new recent date. This

will hurt your credit for atleast 2 months as long as it is reported paid

right away. The longer they wait, the longer it will take your credit scores

to go up.

2nd - you need to get a letter stating that this is paid off, signed by manager if possible. A receipt or a cancelled check is fine for your records but when trying to clean up your credit, the reporting companies will only

use a copy of a signed letter on the companies letterhead. You need to keep the original as you might need to prove it is paid months or years later.

Good Luck!

Do both borrowers of mortgage have to be on the land deed?

Your question needs to be turned around. A person who has no ownership interest in the property should NOT sign a mortgage. When you sign a mortgage you agree to be responsible for paying the debt. If the homeowner defaults on the mortgage the lender will go after you to pay the debt if you signed the mortgage, even if you don't owe the property. It is not a wise decision to offer to pay for something you don't own.

What if your name was on the mortgage application and the note but didn't make it onto the mortgage which was in the name of the co-owner only. can you get out of paying that debt?

You could not be approved for a mortgage because your credit was too poor and you needed a co-signer. Your co-signer was wise enough to arrange that the title be in his name also. You signed the mortgage application and the note. Through inadvertence and error the bank didn't have you sign the mortgage. It has enough evidence to "reform" the mortgage in court. You are responsible for paying the debt.
