Complaint sub-issue: Problem with paying off the loan

***This is not a duplicate complaint. I am filing that without the third party associated. 

I am writing to complaint about the wrongful practice of US Bank who refused to accept the payoff payment and failure to send title to XXXX XXXX which we have refinanced the vehicle and changed ownership from my name to my husband 's name. 

I have contacted US Bank since XX/XX/XXXX once I discovered that XXXX XXXX paid off my US Bank loan by mistake ( XXXX, from XXXX XXXX, talked to us on the phone XX/XX/XXXX stated that our loan application was cancelled because their bank does not provide third party vehicle transfer loan ) and trying to get the issue resolved by asking US Bank to return the payoff and process XXXX XXXX Payoff Payment Check ( which was received by US Bank at the same time ). The issue has never resolved until today. 

I called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX from US Bank regarding the error and situation, - XXXX requested a letter from XXXX stating that they requested pay off in error, so that US Bank can issue the refund check back to XXXX XXXX - We called XXXX XXXX immediate and demand the letter to reverse the transaction, XXXX from XXXX XXXX stated that they need to escalate to the manager to resolve this issue and will call us back. 

We waited a few days and no response received so we called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and they were still escalating the issue.

XX/XX/XXXX we finally received the letter from XXXX XXXX  regarding the Cancellation to Payoff request and mailed to US Bank immediately to the address XXXX provided on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX including my name and loan number. 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX- I called US Bank again to follow up - On the phone with the CS rep over an hour and escalated to XXXX XXXX - floor manager from customer service dept. 
- Emailed him the XXXX  payoff withdraw letter and he is forwarding it to the appropriate department to handle it correctly - He promised the issue will be resolved - Explained to him XXXX is sending back the refund check as they are the correct payoff bank. 
- He emailed someone he knows at the back office to get this find resolution - He stated he will reach back out to me Monday or Tuesday - XXXX XXXX Direct # XXXX Called multiple times the following 2 weeks but no response XX/XX/XXXX XXXX emailed XXXX XXXX from US Bank to follow up again - Waited another 2 weeks with NO response XX/XX/XXXX received another copy for the Payment cancellation request from XXXX - XXXX XXXX   misspelled my last name so we mailed and emailed the revised letter with the correct name to US Bank again. 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I called US Bank again due to no response from XXXX - Spoke to XXXX - She stated that she needs to escalate to her supervisor and submit a research - Waited 3 weeks never call me back XX/XX/XXXX approx.
