due to some financial issues in the past, i had accepted
the lender's offer to "back-end" a payment in arrears.
twice.
now i'm ready to pay off the mortgage thru
refinance. the mortgage is a 30 year fixed with 25
years remaining. i'm told that each of these back-ended
payments must be satisfied with all 25-odd remaining
years of interest. so each $900 payment deferred
costs me almost $4000 to satisfy ..
is this common? is this legal ?

if i were you, i'd request far more substantive information than you appear to have been provided. it doesn't make sense to me that you'd pay that much additional interest - if they cannot justify it in writing, or with a specific schedule that might be available, i would question it up the ladder as far as i could take it.
