So I go to pay off my mortgage and they refuse to let me unless I pay a $25 fee

Acorn

Probably a fee for reconveyance. Normal when dealing with loans secured by real estate.

Pimpin4Paradise

That being said, if that’s what it is, why wouldn’t they just explain it?

How much additional interest did you have to pay but not paying it off a few

About $1.50. $2K at 0.9%. Difference between my mortgage rate

I wish I had the mental fortitude to pound out details like this.

I did it in my head. But people are missing the point focusing on the $1

I don't believe you.

When you pay it off don't expect anything like a car title to show up in the

You could ask for a copy of the note or even the reconveyance that they send to

They're supposed to send you the original mortgage or deed.

Is there anyway to prepay on mortgage interest for the next year?

Busiturtle

12/15/18 9:36am

Wait so you avoided paying $25 in fees to rack up another 30 days of interest? Brilliant!

Not to mention time spent on the phone, online, and writing this CB post about it . . . and it's still not resolved.

More value than your 78,000 posts on CB. LOL. I don't like hot dogs.

I agree with this to a point.

Yep. Compare my 1.8 posts a day to people posting 20 or 30 times a day

This is sport. That is why I posted about it.

Like what has already been mentioned, this is a standard fee that you likely can’t get around.

Oh I got that part. But there is a fee to record a deed of trust reconveyance

If every mortgage is paid off (and they are) then it should be included in

Yeah you are definitely not the norm. It's very rare for people to just pay

Kind of funny the mortgage company is so adamant as well.

Maybe yes, maybe no. I wonder how they are going to bill me for that $25?

You're wrong. I guarantee your documentation referenced a reconveyance fee.

I think you are wrong. Unfortunately, you don't have my documentation

Because that’s crazy. They aren’t financial advisors.

I don’t consider them warning to get out of debt ASAP to be financial advice.
