twice the payoff amount. I failed to convince them to just take what
they needed from the escrow acount and refund the rest. Not even
pretending I paid them $0. Instead it had to be done the extra stupid
way. For the final months payment I sent them a regular personal check
for $X and they sent a check back for $2X.

FWIW, generally they can't legally do that. Escrow accounts are things
put into the custody of a third party for delivery to the bank, etc.
only under the specific terms in the contract. Since the escrow account
was most likely for things like insurance and taxes, the money couldn't
be released for that purpose.
