Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.36.)
The statement is provided by the mortgage servicer and can be requested at any time. Accurate payoff information is crucial for managing financial decisions related to property ownership.
It almost certainly accounts for the interest that accrued from the time of your last mortgage statement until the payoff date. It's also very possible that you will get some of that extra back based on the date that the actual payoff was received and the calculated interest.
(c) A beneficiary, or his or her authorized agent, shall, on the written demand of an entitled person, or his or her authorized agent, prepare and deliver a payoff demand statement to the person demanding it within 21 days of the receipt of the demand.
Basically, your balance is what you currently owe, and your payoff is what you owe plus interest that accrues from the statement date and a specific payoff date.
TILA requires that a mortgage lender or servicer send ''an accurate payoff balance within a reasonable time, but in no case more than seven business days'' after receiving the borrower's request. 15 U.S.C. § 1639g.
First, you'll need to contact your lender and let them know you want the information. Depending on your lender, you may have to sign in to an online account, call a helpline, or send a formal letter to start the request process.
