I don’t know about “pay off quote” charges, but many institutions charge a small fee ($50 seems OK) to actually close down a mortgage. I remember SDCCU used to have that next to the mortgage balance.

But if you are getting rid of a large mortgage, it is better to swallow a little bitterness like this and come out ahead by saving hundreds of $ per month in interest payments that you save.

In future, remember to stay away from banks and use credit unions where they don’t have this moneylender mentality.

Today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was fundraising in Richmond, VA, and joked about how he vets prospective VP candidates:

“We’re going through a process where you get a whole bunch of names, and ya … Well, basically, it’s a Google. You just, you know, what you can find out now on the Internet. It’s remarkable, you know.”

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
End of illusions

THERE is a story about a science professor giving a public lecture on the solar system. An elderly lady interrupts to claim that, contrary to his assertions about gravity, the world travels through the universe on the back of a giant turtle. “But what supports the turtle?” retorts the professor. “You can’t trick me,” says the woman. “It’s turtles all the way down.”

The American financial system has started to look as logical as “turtles all the way down” this week. Only six months ago, politicians were counting on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the country’s mortgage giants, to bolster the housing market by buying more mortgages. Now the rescuers themselves have needed rescuing….
