When I originally bought my first house a few years back I used an 80/20 loan with the "20" being an ARM
 ..after a few years of rising payments (206 just for interest) I decided to refinance the "20" with a fixed rate. I bought a lower rate and I was told the payment on my "20" should drop to 182 for interest and principal..They were going to send a notary out tonight to handle the paperwork but 3 hours before closing the Countrywide guy calls and says the estimate on the payoff on the old loan was low by $700...It'll only add $6 to my payment but does that sort of thing happen normally? The "20" was only $22,000 to begin with.

Sounds right. The payoffs they use during the process are close. It's not until they contact the current lender for today's payoff that they get the exact amount. I would say it's right on.

Yup, normal part of the process. My last closing was delayed by two days due to underwriter and other involved parties, BS.
ETA: We were actually at our closing two days in a row for several hours each day trying to get it done and it was all stuff out of our control.....extremely frustrating. |

Yeah, I was wondering if they underestimated it to make it more attractive..I'm just amazed they could miss by $700 on a $22,000 loan in this day and age |

Your ok.
They can only estimate them based off your credit report initially. I usually add a payment on that for an estimate. |

I'm still way better off but when somebody calls at the last minute and says "Oh by the way..we'll need you to pay an extra $700" my WTF detector starts pinging |

The good faith estimate would include your payoff.
You should see that number on your statement each month, right? |

Tell them that you'll pay only of they get a different spokesman that doesn't sound like he's got a loogie in his mouth.

Just call them back and say you're no longer interested because the numbers don't jibe. |

Your current lender probably took their sweet ass time getting them the payoff. 3 hours before closing tells me it probably was discovered after the fact of your docs were all put together for closing. There are alot fo figures and accounting that go into figuring out all closing costs etc.. If your only off by 700$ that isnt bad really. |

Whatever is on the HUD1 statement is what goes.

They forgot to get an updated payoff. They probably didn't realize the payoff's "good through" date had already passed until they had already sent out the loan package.

last time I sold a home, at closing the attorney thought I didn't owe anything on the mortage for that house, I owed $25K or so, had to inform him of that fact. Gave him the exact payoff amount to boot

Unfortunately a pretty normal "bait and switch" for firms with ethics issues or slopping accounting. Normal timing too - right when you are approaching the closing table. Pick a better lender. PM me if you want a recommendation. |

The figures on the good faith was what I understood the deal to be...now they added $700 to all that |

Like my Dad use to tell me...
"I've never seen a mistake at closing that didn't cost me money."  Same rule applies when buying a new car.

Its an estimate..... Pretty normal though for the payoffs to be different. I might use the payoff on your credit report or from your last statement, however The lien holder may have fees such as a $500 fee for closing within 3 years which is normal on most HELOC 2nds... They also want to be paid for everyday they have a lien so your payoff today is different than yesterday or tomorrow. |

Go to the fannie mae web site, the final HUD 1 should only vary from the good faith by 10% (I think). Ask for documentation as to where this was found and remember it was only an estimate.
