Hi Vincent, this is good to hear. I don’t know who picked up the software. I’ll update the site if I get more details.

hello,

ufirst has shut down their operation in regards to new clients. when you go to their website there is a statement to the effect of: “now that you have other options for offering the program, we (ufirst) have stopped enrolling new clients.”

who is the new provider of the software? any direction would be appreciated.

This is fantastic, James, thanks for the note. I know the sheet had value to help someone track their prepayments, but it didn’t occur to me a reader would use it to show his bank they made a mistake. You are most welcome, you note was a true gift tonight. Be well.

Hi Again Joe,
You should feel happy about this. Using your MMA spreadsheet, I was able to recreate the payments being made to my mortgage. I make extra payments on top of the benefit of the bi-weekly, but, for the life of me, I couldn’t see where the mortgage company made the 2 extra payments. I only saw 1!!! I called them and asked them to show me and after an hour, they agreed that a terrible mistake had been made. They have since agreed to rectify this and I anxiously await the posting of it on their website.

Thanks a lot bro!

Every 2 weeks is a bi-weekly mortgage. Bi-monthly is every two months, like a 6 issue per year magazine.
If the mortgage is a regular 15 or 30 year mortgage, you can still use the sheet, just enter the amount paid at the end of each month. Two months a year you will have that 3rd payment which goes in as extra principal.

How can I use the MMA spreadsheet if I make bi-monthly (or bi-weekly) payments (or payments every 2 weeks, not sure if bi-monthly or bi-weekly is the correct term. I have researched both terms and both could be right or wrong, according to wordweb).

Hi Joe,

Great website. I downloaded your spreadsheet. A couple of things that I can’t fix bc it’s protected.

1. In the 30 and 15 yr examples, column H called “Months Remaining” is in a dollar amount. Is this supposed to be regular number with decimals?

2. For the 15 yr example column D is not wide enough to show a 6 figure loan amount. you can enter it but it shows up as #######.

Anyway you can fix these?
