Your "employer" argument is specious.

A more apt example is mortgage. I just prepaid my mortgage recently (as a part of refi), but it is the exact same situation: instead of making interest payments, I chose to just pay everything that was owed at once.

Maybe Revlon was thinking of getting a much cheaper (low interest) loan than what it had obtained from Brigade?

You must contact the bank first to do that, or use an automated system of theirs, but you can’t just drop the money in their account.

Yes they are being disingenuous with their comment (and commenting on every thread here with their comparison).

They sent a check with their account number to an address specifically set up to receive mortgage payments.

I’m failing to see how that is a disingenuous argument?
