A, Reservist, called to active duty in year two of 30 year mortgage, and served four years of AD, upon application for a Section 590 stay order modifying his mortgage payments (ex: lowering them), the court could order the lowered mortgage payments during the period of service (4 years) and for an additional four years thereafter (a period equal to the period of service), provided that over the remaining life of the mortgage (remaining 20 years left) the deferred amount was repaid with interest along with the payments as they came due at the original amount for those last 20 years of the mortgage. EX. Capt. A, with auto on new 60 month lease, called to AD and serves 2 years. Section 590 stay order could modify or stay lease payments for period of service (2 years) plus another 2 years thereafter, provided that the deferred amounts were repaid (w/ interest) during the remaining period of the lease, along with the new payments as they accrue. That means, however, that the servicemember only has 12 months to repay the entire amount of the lease plus interest. May request to stay obligation to pay during 2 yr. period of service to encourage lessor to terminate lease.EX: Capt.

26. KEY CONCEPTS Protection of rights, not avoidance of responsibility �Material affect�-- prerequisite for most SCRA protections Invocation of protections cannot be used against servicemember or dependant Private causes of action apparently recognized Criminal sanctions continued for Title III Liberal construction should still be the rule Private Cause of Action: See Cort v. Ash, 422 US 66 (1975) 4-part test to determine whether a private cause of action exists. Successful: Moll v. Ford Consumer Finance, (E.D. ILL. Mar 16, 1998) Marin v. Armstrong (ND Tex Sep 1, 1998) Cathy v. First Republic Bank WD LA 2001 LA On 13 September 2001, the Deputy Assistant Attorney General for DOJ's Civil Division approved the request for representation of a CG member against a creditor who refused to lower the interest rate on a pre-service debt. DOJ found that it was in the interest of the United States to provide representation, which has been delegated to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii.
