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.
Getting the payoff quote is simple. You can contact your lender via telephone, visit them in person, or go online and request a payoff amount. If you call your lender, you have to wait for the written response to come in the mail.
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).
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.
