A letter of intent is a document outlining the intentions of two or more parties to do business together; it is often non-binding unless the language in the document specifies that the companies are legally bound to the terms.
A mortgage payoff request form is a document that is typically provided by the borrower to the mortgage lender or servicing company to request the full payoff amount for the remaining balance on their mortgage.
A letter of intent (also known as an LOI) is often written to initiate a business transaction and help define expectations with customers, partners, and vendors before creating a binding agreement.
To ensure a proper payoff, sellers or closing agents must contact the lien holder or their attorney for an official payoff statement. This statement outlines the final payoff amount and includes details on principal balances, accrued interest, attorney's fees, and administrative costs.
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.)
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.)
