Banks are legally permitted to buy insurance and expense it to the borrower should their existing coverage lapse; however, it has been alleged that some lenders are engaging in unfair business practices when force-placing these policies. Homeowners have claimed they are being billed for retroactive, duplicative or excessive insurance which was greater than required by law and greater than required by their mortgage agreement. Allegations have also surfaced that banks are not providing adequate notice to homeowners whose policies lapse, as well as forcing placing insurance on borrowers who already have adequate coverage. A number of force placed insurance lawsuits are claiming that banks are receiving kickbacks or commissions for purchasing these policies, the cost of which is added to their monthly mortgage payments or deducted from their home equity account.
