Consolidate Title Release For Free - Title Release

Prepayment penalties The lender makes money from the interest you pay on your loan each month. Repaying a loan early usually means you won't pay any more interest, but there could be an early prepayment fee. The cost of those fees may be more than the interest you'll pay over the rest of the loan.

Consider debt settlement The lender may be willing to accept a lower amount, especially if you've already missed several payments. This method is called debt settlement.
