Sec. 13. A creditor or mortgage servicer may not withhold the release of a mortgage if the written mortgage payoff statement misstates the amount of the payoff and the written payoff is relied upon in good faith by an independent closing agent without knowledge of the misstatement. It is not a misstatement if the written payoff statement is not accurate as a result of a change in circumstances occurring after the issuance of the payoff statement. The release of a mortgage does not affect the ability of the creditor or mortgage servicer to collect the full amount owed without regard to a misstatement in the written payoff statement and a release of the mortgage.
