1 /5 Nicole Moroz: They should be ashamed of themselves. I am going to share a letter I recently sent to Citizens. I have made several follow up calls to them, and despite each time being told it would be expedited to a manager, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I have also never received a call back either. It is disheartening that they would allow unethical practices there. So, please read my letter and please be very careful when dealing with them.

We Insure / 2 Jays Insurance Group
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation
This letter is regarding the unauthorized withdrawal from my Bank of America Visa Credit Card ending in XXXX on 1/18/2025. Without my consent, you charged my credit card ending in XXXX $8,129.00 for our 2025 insurance payment in full. You also added a 2.5% service fee that amounted to $191.03. Since I did not approve this charge, you did not have the authorization to charge me $191.03 for a service fee.
We are requesting that the $191.03 be paid in full back to my credit card ending in XXXX.
Moving forward, We Insure / 2 Jays Insurance Group / Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, and any affiliates including yourself, Jason Balchunas, no longer have authorization to take any debits from my card ending in XXXX. Any future payment must be contingent on a new written authorization from myself or (my husband).
As a reminder, Power Financial Credit Union has an escrow account on our behalf that takes out money each month so that your corporation is paid in full by them each year. This is documented in our paperwork. Upon speaking with Power Financial, it was verbalized that your corporation is aware of this. The unauthorized withdrawal from my credit card ending in XXXX, should never have occurred.
As mentioned above, we would appreciate the amount of $191.03 be reimbursed back to my credit card as soon as possible. Please feel free to reach out to myself or (my husband), should you have any questions.
We appreciate your time and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
(my name & my husbands name)
