DOES THE BANK HAVE TO ACCEPT MONEY I OFFER THEM TO CURE THE DEFAULT (REINSTATE THE LOAN)?
STATUTORY RIGHT TO REINSTATE LOAN BY PAYING DEFAULT
A lender/bank cannot refuse to accept your payment for the full amount of default at any point prior to 5 business days before the sale. Up until then, per California Civil Code Section 2924, you have a statutory right to “reinstate” the loan by paying the default amount (plus other fees, such as interest, penalties, and costs), and they are required to file a Notice of Rescission of the Notice of Default. Cal. Civ. Code § 2924c(a)(1)
The lender (or its servicer) is also required to provide the borrower with a “beneficiary statement,” which contains information on how much must be paid in order to reinstate the loan. Cal. Civ. Code § 2943.
