Answer:
There is no current Federal regulation, but I know there are several State regulations that deal with this. In January 2014, Regulation Z will be amended to include:
Section 1026.36(c)(3) Payoff Statements. In connection with a consumer credit transaction secured by a consumer's dwelling, a creditor, assignee or servicer, as applicable, must provide an accurate statement of the total outstanding balance that would be required to pay the consumer's obligation in full as of a specified date. The statement shall be sent within a reasonable time, but in no case more than seven business days, after receiving a written request from the consumer or any person acting on behalf of the consumer.
