DocMagic customers frequently ask about the difference between Payoffs and Premiums. Payoffs consist of two options: "Pay Off" or "Pay Off Lien". A "Pay Off" may be of a credit card, auto loan, judgment or other debt other than a lien of the real property securing the subject mortgage loan whose data is being entered into DocMagic. A "Pay off Lien" is for an existing first-lien or junior-lien loan or a HELOC against the real property securing the new mortgage loan.
Premiums, however, are for Broker Compensation, Service Release Premium, or a Yield Adjustment Credit and are paid to the Lender, Broker or Investor.
