: If I'm reading CA Civil Code section 2954.10 and am interpreting it correctly a lender is prohibited from attempting to collect a prepayment penalty when a NOD is filed due to acceleration of the note. : I purchased a home in May subject to a institutional 1st and a private 2nd. The home was current on payments and not in foreclosure at time of purchase. The private 2nd holder accepted the June and July payments and then filed a NOD. The demand statement we ordered via the trustee shows the beni wants his prepay. Thank you to one of the esteemed members of this site for a little encouragement, I looked up the CC and found 2954.10. I think I'm correct in reading this CC. The 2nd note holder can not charge a prepay under these circumstances. : I have a copy of the note and DOT, there is a prepayment rider executed by the original owner/borrower. This rider says nothing about acceleration or default. : The rehab is complete, we have a buyer and opened escrow last week so the clock is ticking on getting this cleared up with the note holder and trustee. : Much Thanks, I'm not an attorney, but the way I see it is that you bought it "subject to" the existing loans. The seller/original borrower signed a separate "prepayment rider" which essentially says you owe the prepayment penalty! I may be wrong, but that's my interpretation of the situation. Jerry-Ca.
