Re: Debt
If this in fact has happened, the service member
should send written notice to the court where the
lawsuit was filed and request that relief be afforded under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and further request that the court order all enforcement action to cease immediately.
A copy of this letter should also be sent to the agency or attorney involved in the collection of this matter.
