cap
cap a limit, such as one placed on an adjustable rate mortgage, on how much a monthly payment or interest rate can increase or decrease, either at each adjustment period or during the life of the mortgage.

negative amortization
negative amortization amortization means that monthly payments are large enough to pay the interest and reduce the principal on your mortgage. Negative amortization occurs when the monthly payments do not cover all of the interest cost. The interest cost that isn't covered is added to the unpaid principal balance. This means that even after making many payments, you could owe more than you did at the beginning of the loan. Negative amortization can occur when an ARM has a payment cap that results in monthly payments not high enough to cover the interest due. Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ...

Payment
Payment, is the act of paying, K.S. Bawa v. Director of Enforcement, (1990) Cr LJ 1068.The payment of money before the day appointed is in law payment at the day; for it cannot, in presumption of law, be any prejudice to him to whom the payment is made to have his money before the time; and it appears by the party's receipt of it, that it is for his own advantage to receive it then, otherwise he would not do it, 5 Rep. 117. See the notes to Cumber v. Wane, (1719) in 1 Smith's L.C.Payment is a recompense for service rendered, Bala Subrahmanya Rajaram v. B.C.

Payment of Money into Court
Payment of Money into Court, i.e., the deposit of money with the official of or banker to the Court for the purpose of proceedings commenced in that Court. Payment into Court is not strictly a defence; it is rather an attempt at a compromise. No such plea was known to the Common Law; it is entirely the creature of Statute (Odgers on Pleading). By the (English) C.L.P. Act, 1852, s. 70, the defendant in all actions (except for assault and battery false imprisonment, libel, slander, malicious arrest or prosecution or seduction) might pay into Court a sum of money by way of compensation or amends, and by the Libel Act, 1843, money might be paid into Court in actions of libel, but this provision was repealed by the (English) Statute Law Revision Act, 1879.Payment into court is now regulated by (English) R.S.C. 1883, Ord. XXII, by which, where any action is brought to recover a debt or damages, any defendant may, before or at the time of delivering his defence, or by leave of the Court or a ...
Appropriation of payments
Appropriation of payments, the application to one of several debts of a sum of money paid by a debtor on a general account. The general rule as to appropriation of payments is this: The debtor may in the first instance appropriate the payment, solvitur in modum solventis; if he omit to do so, the creditor may make the appropriation, recipitur in modum recipientis; if neither debtor nor creditor make any appropriation, the law appropriates the payment upon equitable principles and prima facie to the earlier debt, Mills v. Fowkes, (1839) 5 Bing NC 461; Clayton's Case, (1816) 1 Mer 605; The Mecca, 1897, AC 286. A creditor can appropriate a general payment to a statute-barred debt, but he cannot appropriate such a payment made before judgment, after a judgment deciding that such a debt is statute barred, Smith v. Betty, 1903 (2) KB 317. See CLAYTON'S CASE....
