I've had it happen before. After I joined the company HR rep our team used for hiring even complained to my manager that my salary was out of the band for my level. They also had zero motivation to fix it. My manager (who was a great manager) just said that this was one HR battle that wasn't worth the effort. Forget your title. Are you happy with your salary and job? If no, move on. It's not like your next company can verify your current level or they even really care (outside of salary requirements). I ended up leaving the job because my great manager left and my new manager was horrible. It had nothing to do with level, and everything to do with job satisfaction.
