What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
I have been paying off my Ford to Ford Motor Company, using my online bank payment service. I have regularly had the following added to my payments, "Apply excess payment to principle". The monthly payments are about $280, but I have paid $400 per month hoping to reduce my principle and pay it off even earlier. When I talk with Ford, they say this is not good enough, and they apply the excess payment as an early payment, not to principle. Thus, they show that I still owe significantly more than what I would have had they applied the excess to principle. I believe they should honor the request and re-calculate my pay-off to reflect the principle payments. Do I have any ground to stand on here?
