Is it outlined in your mortgage loan agreements that the borrower will be responsible for any additional costs? Also, I assume that these funds are held in a segregated escrow account for this purpose and that the lien release charge at origination is not taken into income - otherwise, I hope you are treating the release fees as a prepaid finance charge. The reconciliation of these sorts of accounts usually is more trouble than it is worth.
