Your Closing Statement. YOUR CLOSING STATEMENT IS "IMPORTANT": When your escrow has closed you will receive a closing statement which is a summary of the costs and financial settlement of your real estate transaction.
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.
A closing statement is a form used in real estate transactions that itemizes all the buying or selling costs associated with the transaction. Legally, it must be given to homebuyers and sellers at least three business days before the closing.
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.
To get a payoff letter, ask your lender for an official payoff statement. Call or write to customer service or make the request online. While logged into your account, look for options to request or calculate a payoff amount, and provide details such as your desired payoff date.
