An Iraq War veteran has filed a potential class-action lawsuit against CitiGroup's CitiMortgage division, alleging that the lender violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act by foreclosing on his home and that of "thousands" of other active-duty soldiers.

While [the plaintiff] was on lock down training at Fort Hood, CitiMortgage initiated foreclosure proceedings against his property and sold it at a foreclosure sale on May 2, 2006. The foreclosure sale was not conducted pursuant to a court order and was not approved by a court. That same day, CitiMortgage's lawyers filed an affidavit in the real property records of Travis County, Texas, stating that [the plaintiff] was 'not on active duty with any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States or w[as] not protected by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.' Those statements were false.
