Interest due on overpayment of loan?
For the financial wizards in the crowd... a loan law question.
My family had a loan against real estate from an individual. The loan was paid back in full some six months before we stopped sending payments. Much time passed before the mistake was discovered, and the party then became difficult to reach by phone. It has now been three years since the end of the payments, 3.5 years since the end of the loan. We're finally in solid contact with them and need to know what can be assumed.
Does any law cover handling of this? Without an overpayment clause, are we limited to recovery of the overpaid amount or is interest due?
