Frequently asked questions
Is my statement balance the payoff amount?
Not always. A payoff quote can include interest through a specified date and other applicable charges or credits.
How quickly must a servicer respond?
For a mortgage, the servicer generally must respond within seven business days of receiving a written payoff request, with exceptions. Other loan types and circumstances can have different rules.
Does this letter close my loan?
No. It only requests a statement. The account is resolved through payment and the lender’s processing, with separate lien-release steps where applicable.
