I leased a car from US Bank initially on XX/XX/XXXX. 
The lease is close to maturity and I wanted to exercise my options of either buying the car from the Bank or trading it to a dealer to get another car. 
To make that decision, I wanted to know the ( 1 ) payoff quote that I would pay if I bought the car or the ( 2 ) the amount a dealer would have to pay US Bank to arrive at the trade in value of my car. 
I called US Bank on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX to get that information. I spoke with XXXX of US Bank at XXXX at XXXX. While they gave me my payoff price they refused to tell me how much the dealer would have to pay them to payoff the car. I asked to speak with their supervisor. I was kept on hold for XXXX minutes after which I was told that the supervisor will not talk to me. 
They maintained it was their policy to not let the consumer know what the dealer would have to pay to payoff the car. As a consumer, it is important for me to know how much the dealer would have to pay the bank so that the dealer does not manipulate the trade in value of the car. 
Citing an unknown, unwritten policy which I have never agreed to, US Bank refused to let me know the dealer payoff price. I, as the consumer and customer of US Bank, who initially leased the should have a right to know the dealer payoff price. US Bank is clearly running a scam along with the dealers to rip consumers off. 
I am writing to seek help from the CFPB to have US Bank provide the dealer payoff information for the car which will impact my trade in value. I also request the bureau to implement rules to prevent banks from engaging in such hideous policies so they can not run such scams with dealers against consumers. 
Thank you.
