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.
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.
How can I request a payoff statement? Contact your servicing bank (where you make your monthly mortgage payments) and request a payoff statement.
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.)
To request a payoff statement, you will need to contact your lender or credit card company. You can typically request a payoff statement online, over the phone, or by mail. Make sure to provide your account information and specify that you are requesting a payoff statement.
This is likely because you've been paying down your mortgage in addition to making your monthly payments. It seems you've made some large additional principal reduction payments (good for you!) which mean you are paying off your mortgage sooner than the bank originally expected.
Basically, your balance is what you currently owe, and your payoff is what you owe plus interest that accrues from the statement date and a specific payoff date.
Instead, you have to get a 10-day payoff estimate from your current lender, which includes the amount you owe, as well as any interest that might accrue on the principal balance in the next 10 days.
