Payment Processing
Section 1050.840 Payment
Processing
A licensee shall process and
properly credit to a mortgage loan account any payment from a mortgagor on the
same calendar date the payment is physically delivered, either in person or via
United States Mail, at the address designated by the licensee for payments. No
late fee shall be imposed if the licensee has received the mortgagor's payment
in readily identifiable form by 5:00 p.m. on the day on which the payment is
due in the amount, manner, location and time indicated by the mortgagee to
avoid the imposition of late fees. Upon demand by the Department, the licensee
shall produce documentation as to the date on which any payment in question was
received by the licensee.
