How to Write a Loan Payoff Letter?

To create a sample Loan Payoff Letter that will lay out all of the details necessary for a borrower to complete in order to pay off a loan in full, you will want to include the following information:

1. Your organization's logo and contact information as the header of the page.
2. A centered headline in bold stating "Loan Payoff Letter."
3. The name and full address of the lender. If there is a specific agent in charge of the account, include their name and title.
4. A memo introduction (either ATTN or RE) with the borrower's name, full address, and the number of the account.
5. Opening salutations to the borrower.
6. An introductory statement that you have received a request from the borrower that they would like to pay off the remaining balance of their loan by the next payment due date. Include the amount of the original loan and how much of the remaining loan still needs to be paid. You will need to calculate the additional interest accumulated to give the borrower a clear, final total amount due and that this amount must be paid by the due date listed.
7. Instruct the borrower that if the payment is not received by the due date the loan will continue to accrue interest and you as the lender reserve the right to include additional fees since they failed to submit the final payment on time.
8. Clearly indicate how the final payment can be made (over the phone, by mail, or in-person) and all acceptable forms of payment. Provide the borrower a full mailing address where they can send the final payment and a way for the borrower to check on the status of their payment to ensure it was received by the due date listed above.
9. If the borrower finds they will be unable to complete the final payment by the due date, but wants to notify your offices ahead of the due date to avoid additional fees, provide them with instructions for requesting a postponement of the final payment.
10. Closing statement to contact your office if there are additional questions.
11. Closing salutations.
12. Your name, title, and the lending agency's name.
