Prepayments
Payments made in excess of scheduled mortgage principal repayments.

Prepayment
1. The payment of a debt in full before it is due. Prepayment is good for the borrower because it relieves him/her of the debt, but it deprives the lender of interest he/she would have received otherwise. As a result, some lenders attach prepayment penalties to loans to disincentivize prepayments. Prepayment can me a major risk to collateralized mortgage obligations as coupon payments are based on interest received from the underlying mortgages. Less commonly, this is called anticipation. See also: Prepayment risk.

2. Payment in advance for a good or service not yet received.

Prepayments also played a role in the reestimate as they were higher than previous estimates.
This fact has been highlighted by the current refinancing event where large-scale filtering has inflated true TRA prepayments relative to the universe.
