Let's take a step back here for a moment.
In as much as I can see a clerical error happening that allows for a lien to be filed on a property improperly, it is a rectifiable matter within 24 to 48 hours.
Further, I am highly suspect to this as lien being filed - and as stated for several years - as that would require actual legal service of that lien on the property owner in order for it to be recorded.
Having said that, and let's just say this party had terracore's luck in life, and everything as stated really happened. This is where having good legal counsel that would get this entire issue cleared in hours.
Granted, that might cost you a few hundred, maybe a thousand bucks.
BUT any lawyer worth his salt, WOULD get any and all liens discharged, and his fees paid as well as a "token" apology nuisance settlement from OLE in HOURS!
Not days, weeks, months or pro se filed lawsuits.
Believe it or not, but the man is not out to get you at every turn.

I have to say Julie, that while we do not always agree, I totally appreciate your wit.
Actually, we had something similar happen to us on a property we owned in Wyoming.
The property was subdivided. The original owners took out a mortgage for improvements on the property they still owned and B of A attached our property as well (erroneously). No one knew about it until we went to sell the property.
Of course, B of A was not helpful. Tried to stall. Said they would get to it when they could and "fix" it. But y'all know me. I TOTALLY hounded them (think I made the guy cry- not really) and told him to get it straight IMMEDIATELY. And guess what, HE DID
Regarding lawyers (and no offense Julie, I just found this hilariously funny- then and now)

Maybe we should all show up for substandard subdivision Zoom meetings as cats... Siamese, Blue Russian, Maine Coon...
