(a) A judgment lienholder or an attorney who has filed an appearance on behalf of such judgment lienholder, shall, upon written request of the debtor, debtor's attorney or authorized representative for the current owner of the property which is subject to the lien, provide a payoff statement, in writing, to the person requesting the payoff statement on or before the date specified in such request, provided such request date is not less than twenty-one business days after the date of receipt of the written request. When requesting a payoff statement, the debtor, debtor's attorney or authorized representative for the current owner of the property which is subject to the lien may rely on the last recorded lien of record securing the lienholder's judgment in identifying the name and mailing address of the holder of such lien, unless the holder of such lien is the plaintiff in an action pending in Superior Court to enforce such interest, in which case the request for a payoff statement shall be provided to the attorney appearing on behalf of the plaintiff.
(b) The judgment lienholder or attorney shall not impose any fee or charge for the first payoff statement requested within a calendar year, unless the judgment debtor or the judgment debtor's attorney or other authorized agent requests expedited delivery of such statement, agrees to pay a fee for such expedited delivery and the payoff statement is provided by the agreed upon date.
