Loan Closure Documents Show Different Dates
Reconcile different dates on loan closure documents. Identify the payment date, posting date and the date the lender recorded the closure.
In this guide
Separate payment date, posted date and the lender’s closure date.
Worked example
A payment sent August 6 posts August 8 and a closure letter is dated August 12. Build a timeline before treating the dates as inconsistent.
What to check
Compare document dates, effective dates, zero balance and the exact status each record describes.
Next step
Ask which date the lender uses for closure and request a corrected record if it contains an actual error. Use FinToku’s Loan Statement and Payoff Review to organize or compare the figures.
Official background: CFPB explanation of mortgage payoff amounts. The example is illustrative and your written terms determine the applicable figures.
