Your Rights as a Servicemember
I've walked in your boots and I get it — nobody in uniform (except maybe the legal guy) is ever going to mention these laws or what they can do for you and your family. Let me break it down here:
These laws entitle you to terminate leases (like apartments, cars, and cell phone plans) you had prior to joining, to have pre-service interest rates on loans and mortgages reduced to 6% for you and your spouse (including those on all student loans), and to special protections against liens, collections, evictions, foreclosures, default judgments, family court judgments, and the loss of health or life insurance.
