Use your military status to stop foreclosures

Friday, June 26

If you are in military there are certain apparent benefits that you can get for stopping the foreclosure. Although it won’t relieve you from the obligation, it can allow temporary suspension of the collection while you are on active duty.

The SSCRA has quite a few of the benefits:

If you are on active duty, you can get immediate relief from a pending foreclosure

If your property was sold while you were on active duty, there are chances that you may get your property back

Reduce your loan interest rate when you are on active military duty, or you may be entitled to a lower than market interest rate on you loan.

However to be able to gain these benefits it would be essential for you to be on active duty.

While applying for anything that would give you the benefits of being covered by SSCRA, you will have to prove following things

The debt is secured by a mortgage or deed of trust against your property

You incurred the debt prior to your active duty in the military

Your ability to meet your financial obligations has been “materially affected” by your being in the military.

Basically the court would show sympathy if they believe in the fact that you being in the service of nation has affected you ability to fulfill your loan obligations.
