What should you do if a statement of account for your loan contains an error? Send a written notice to the lender.

Contents of the notice

Your notice must include the following information:

  • your name;
  • the amount for which you have found an error;
  • the reason you believe it is an error.

Response from the lender

Within 60 days after sending this notice, the lender must notify you, in writing, of the correction made. A lender who refuses to correct the error must provide you with an explanation as well as documents in support of the refusal.
