The payoff statement must be provided on or before the date specified in the request, provided that date is at least 21 business days after the written request is received

Requesters may identify the lienholder by the last recorded lien of record, unless the lienholder is the plaintiff in a pending Superior Court enforcement action, in which case the request goes to the plaintiff's attorney

Judgment lienholders cannot charge a fee for the first payoff statement requested within a calendar year, except when expedited delivery is requested and agreed to in writing
