We're all familiar with the basic concept of setup and payoffs: early on in your screenplay, you set up some detail/scenario that may seem irrelevant, but later on will yield a result that hopefully your audience wasn't anticipating (the payoff).
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.
Lenders multiply your outstanding balance by your annual interest rate but divide by 12 because you're making monthly payments. So if you owe $300,000 on your mortgage and your rate is 4%, you'll initially owe $1,000 in interest per month ($300,000 x 0.04 ÷ 12).
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.
