The Servicemember Civil Relief Act was created by the federal government to aid active duty military personell. The provisions of the Act apply to those servicemembers with debt owed prior to being called to active duty. Creditors are required to reduce the interest rate to 6% if applicable. The debts can include consumer debt (credit cards, etc.), mortgages, and student loans. Interest rates will be reduced automatically so each servicemember should contact individual creditors and request the rate to be reduced.
My name is Conrad Venti and I am blessed to be in a position to help people build a strong financial foundation. My passion is to educate friends, family, and acquaintances about the importance and benefits of home ownership. Strong Foundation is where I share tips and thoughts about credit, home ownership, and real estate in the Willamette Valley. I am going to shoot to have a new post up on Wednesdays, but will periodically post on other days as well.
