Frequently asked questions
What is a loan payoff statement?
A lender's written statement of the exact amount needed to repay a loan in full on a given date, with payment instructions.
How do I remove a UCC lien after paying off a loan?
The lender files a UCC-3 termination statement, or authorises you to file one, with the state where the original filing was made.
Does paying off a loan release my personal guarantee?
Usually for that loan, but confirm in writing, especially if the guarantee covers other debts.
