Hi evesta!

Welcome to forums!

If you do not pay the required down payment, you are liable for paying the mortgage insurance. While you refinanced the property, may be, you did not have the required equity in your property. Thus, the lender had asked you to pay the PMI. In my opinion, it is legal.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

It is clear that you originally obtained an FHA loan which in the past required 1.75% Up front mortgage insurance premium. Subsequently you chose to lower your interest rate with an FHA streamline. When streamlining your FHA loan which carries with it more UFMIP. But if you will review your HUD settlement statement for your refinance you will see you were credited for the remaining portion of the UFMIP that was not used in your original FHA loan. So, yes it is completely legal. And if you'll check your HUD statement it is likely you did not really pay the full amount agian.
