Not true, the only reason you need to call for the "payoff amount" is that the interest is calculated to the specific date of the payoff, NOT 20 years or more in the future. We paid ours off after 5 years, it was just slightly different from the previously supplied escrow statement for that month. IT DID NOT have 20 years of additional interest.
