    The mortgage should be in Mortgage Payable, so it should be recorded properly and no further entry needs to be made until the payment is made.

    Debit Fees Earned for 400
    Credit Unearned Fees for 400

    This is to correct the original entry, which was recorded improperly.

    I do not know what rates is so your accounts could be incorrect for the first entry, but your other journal entries look correct.
