isn't there a federal law against the "prepayment" penalty placed on our loans?

Hi Alan,

Welcome to the forum.

Some states approve prepayment penalty, some states do not approve it. But I think there is no federal law regarding prepayment penalty.

In some states where prepayment penalty is permitted, state law says that the lender can enforce within the first few years after you take the mortgage.

Best of luck,
Larry

Alan,

what type of loan do you have and is it a primary residence or investment property?
