How long can a mortgage company hold an escrow account after a loan has been paid off? I made a mistake when I attempted to pay off my Wells Fargo Morgtage. I did n't call and ask for a payoff balance however, on XXXX XXXX, 2015, I sent the balance reflected on my WF online bank account. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, WF debited the regular installment amount so there was sufficient funds to payoff the account. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I called WF and the customer service representative said that the bank did n't know what to do with the funds. He acknowledged that there were sufficient funds on hand and proceeded to complete the paperwork to payoff the account. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a check from WF from my inquiry. No one from WF contacted me to inquire what to do with the funds. However, if I am one day late on my mortgage, there is no doubt I 'll get a call concerning why the payment was laWF held my funds over 30 days and made money off of it before they sent me a check. 
Poor customer service
