Some protections apply to service members whose military obligations affect their ability to repay debts -- primarily, reservists and members of the National Guard who are called to active duty. They have to leave their jobs and, in many cases, take pay cuts.
For these service members, there are protections having to do with foreclosures and interest rates. If a service member had a mortgage before entering active duty, a lender can't start foreclosure proceedings until nine months after the service member returns from active duty. Formerly, the protection period was 90 days.
Also, when someone with a mortgage is called up to active duty, the interest rates on all previously existing debt are capped at 6 percent. That goes for mortgages -- and for home loans, that 6 percent cap extends until one year after the service member returns from active duty.

The Defense Department will be required to provide foreclosure-prevention counseling upon request to service members who are returning from active duty abroad.

When you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me. I am always glad to help out our military personnel.
