I was recently notified that I was part of a class action suit against Citi Bank

City held my mortgage, and at one point I had to purchase home owners insurance from them.

The suit says Citi was in collusion with the insurance companies and received huge kick backs as part of their "partnerships". They grossly overcharged us and Citi reaped the rewards.

The time period outlined in the paperwork is from 2007 - 2014.

I'm thinking this was just another way the Mortgage companies raped people prior to, during, and after the housing crash.

Citi sold my mortgage to another company in 2011. They made tons off me and countless others, and sold me to another company when they were done abusing me.

Citi and the insurance companies charged at least 200 percent over the market rate.

I wasn't aware of it then. I only became ware of this after obtaining insurance with USAA.

I told them that they can't change the terms of my mortgage and they said they can. I told them to show it to me in writing. They said that producing the documents would cost me money. I said, you want me to get more insurance, than you need to provide the papers to me.
