A tender of the proper amount due, even if rejected, extinguishes the lien and precludes foreclosure*

( See, e.g. Winnett v. Roberts, supra, 179 Cal App.3d 909, 902; Lichtv v. Whitney, supra, 80 Cal. App.2d
696, 701; see also Code Civ. Proc. SS 2074.) In Winnett the court held that a tender of the principal
amount without interest was sufficient because the note was usurious and the creditor was not entitled
to receive interest.
