Loan Servicer Continues Billing and Collections After Insurance Pays Off Account

When an insurance company pays off a loan balance directly to a servicer, the servicer's systems sometimes fail to close the account, continuing to generate statements and initiate collections calls despite a zero balance. The consumer has no self-service way to force account closure and receives no written confirmation that the payoff was applied. Servicer representatives acknowledge the issue verbally but provide no resolution or follow-up.
