Lehrman Law Files Class Action Complaint Against Flagstar Bank Over Alleged Deceptive CD Practices

LEHRMAN LAW

Boca Raton, FloridaA class action lawsuit has been filed against Flagstar Bank by Lehrman Law and Scott D. Owens, P.A., alleging deceptive practices in the handling of certificate of deposit (CD) accounts. The complaint, filed on November 13, 2024, in a Florida federal court, accuses the bank of violating state and federal consumer laws by rolling funds from matured CDs into low-interest CDs without the account holder’s knowledge or consent.

The lead plaintiff, Florida resident Tunny Solomon, claims that Flagstar, as the successor to New York Community Bank, converted her high-interest CD into a long-term, low-interest CD without authorization when it matured in December 2019. Solomon had originally opened a 14-month CD in 2018 with a $50,000 deposit and an interest rate of 2.65%. However, when the CD matured, Flagstar allegedly moved her funds into a 300-month CD offering a mere 0.02% interest rate—well below the original terms and far below prevailing market rates.

According to the lawsuit, this practice resulted in substantial financial losses for Solomon and others similarly situated. The plaintiff has described these accounts as “zombie CDs,” noting that they were opened without customer consent, and the bank failed to provide required quarterly statements to inform account holders of the changes. Solomon contends that Flagstar’s actions were deceptive and intentionally concealed, depriving customers of significant interest earnings they were entitled to receive.

The class action seeks certification on behalf of all U.S. consumers who had funds transferred from maturing CDs into new long-term CDs without authorization in the past four years. Claims include breach of contract, unjust enrichment, violations of banking regulations, and more. The lawsuit demands damages, legal fees, costs, and injunctive relief to stop Flagstar from continuing the alleged practices.
