Pepperell explains interest rate pullback plan to holders
Pepperell Trust Co president David Shaw says letters will go to more than 200 mortgage holders explaining how the rate hike pullback will take effect. Those overpaid in May will see lower August bills, and future payments return to pre increase rates. Some with longer payments will keep their scheduled payments.
