What are class action lawsuits? Well, put simply, they are a lawsuit where people who have been affected by the same injury (class) can join together in a lawsuit against the entity, company, or person who caused the injury. In the case of Citimortgage, this lawsuit was brought by a group of former and current Citimortgage employees who claimed that the company had significantly understated their interest rates on numerous loans they sold to their clients. This has been a major issue plaguing the housing industry ever since the housing crash.
The fact that Citimortgage sold its loans to its borrowers based on significantly understated interest rates is what brought about the class action lawsuit.
Citimortgage decided to settle the case out of court rather than go to trial because they were afraid that going to trial would take years and cost them too much money. Some may say “so what” but what if you don’t have the money to litigate a case that could take years to resolve? You have to ask yourself if this is a risk that you are willing to take. If your answer is no, then you should call your attorneys and see what they have to say about trying to negotiate a settlement.
