Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP (NJ)

We had an auto loan with Valley National Bank from XXXX. In the course of the loan we moved to a new address but we made sure that the bank is notified of the address change. We called the bank by phone and made the address change. We went in person to the local Valley bank in XX/XX/XXXX and made the address change because their system still had old address. On making my last payment of the auto loan in XX/XX/XXXX I confirmed with the bank my current address to send my title and documents. Even after a month I of paying off my auto loan I did not receive my title. I went to the local bank in XX/XX/XXXX and I was told that the bank sent the documents to my old address in spite of me calling by phone and informing of my address change 4  years ago and also went in person last year and made sure they had the current address and even while making my last payment I made sure they had the current address on file which they said they did, still they sent my title and documents to old address! When I went in person the lady said the address is not updated and she herself updated it for us. 
Now it is XXXX of XXXX, XXXX months since I paid off my auto loan and I still do not have my title and documents from the bank. I reached out to the local bank again and I was asked to email them all the details of my loan along with my current address which I did but now after sending the email even the local bank is telling me that they do not have any updates for me because the bank has no update to provide. 
Worst ever customer service I experienced with any bank.
