Consumers who obtain an official 10-day payoff letter and pay the exact stated amount within the valid window still receive additional charges from the lender after the loan is supposedly closed. The payoff letter is treated as non-binding by the lender despite being the standard legal instrument for loan closure. Borrowers have no recourse when refinancing lenders confirm timely receipt of the payment.
