Remove charge

I need to remove a charge that I am going to pay, the charge relates to my ex which is attached to the land registry. I have asked my ex's solicitor to complete the DS1 form, but they are not engaging with me.<br> As I am paying the charge to the solicitors by bank transfer, and have the original documents that state the amount owed, I will have proof that the full amount has been paid.<br> What forms do I need to complete to arrange for the charge to be removed.&#160;<br> This is urgent, if not paid soon I may need to return to court.&#160; Please advise what forms I need t complete so that I can have the charge removed.<br> PS.&#160; I have reached out to over half a dozen solicitors to help with this transaction and all (so far) are informing me that they cannot help, as this matter is too complex.<br> &#160;

Susan - you need forms DS1, DS2 and ID1/ID3 as appropriate re identity verification<br> It's easier if the lender (charge holder) completes form DS1/DS2 and submits them along with their identity verification.<br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mortgage-cancellation-of-entries-for-lenders-ds1">Mortgage: cancellation of entries for lenders (DS1) - GOV.UK</a><br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cancel-entries-relating-to-a-charge-registration-ds2">Cancel entries relating to a charge: registration (DS2) - GOV.UK</a><br> <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/evidence-of-identity-conveyancers/practice-guide-67-evidence-of-identity-conveyancers">Practice guide 67: evidence of identity - GOV.UK</a>

Thank you Adam,<br> <br> I have just checked the forms, and I do not know anyone who can validate my ID3 form (going by the list of accepted professionals).&#160; What do you suggest that I do?<br> &#160;

Susan - you'll need to use form ID1 and a conveyancer instead
