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.)
Typically, lenders can provide a payoff letter within seven to ten business days upon request. However, processing times may vary depending on the specific lender and their workload.
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.
State Tax Liens To release a tax lien, the debtor must contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office of Collections and Enforcement to determine the exact amount of tax owed. Payment of the original tax must be remitted to the Ohio Department of Taxation.
The Department of Taxation does not forward information to, nor receive information from the credit bureau. However, when an assessment is forwarded to the Attorney General's Office for collection, a judgment lien is filed with the county clerk of courts. This information is public record.
Tax lien: The statute of limitations for a tax lien in Ohio is 15 years from the date the tax liability was assessed. This means that the government has 15 years to collect the taxes owed before the lien expires. Judgment lien: In Ohio, a judgment lien can be valid for up to 5 years.
To acquire a copy of a lien release and verify property details, individuals should contact the AG's Office hotline at 614-752-7541 for assistance. For the most accurate information, contact the local county recorder's office, which is tasked with maintaining public records relevant to its judicial district.
