Lexology-

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit recently held that the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) does not apply to a mortgage loan obligation incurred while a borrower is a member of the military, even where he subsequently leaves and then later re-enlists in the military prior to a foreclosure sale.

A copy of the opinion is available at: Link to Opinion.

The borrower obtained a mortgage loan to purchase his home from the lender while he was serving in the U.S. Navy. After his discharge from the Navy, the borrower defaulted on his mortgage loan, and the current loan owner (“mortgagee”) began foreclosure proceedings.
