Summary

Existing law provides certain legal rights for service members, including with regard to credit agreements, interest liabilities, and mortgages and trusts. Existing law prohibits an obligation or liability bearing interest at a rate in excess of 6% per year incurred by a service member before that person's entry into service from bearing interest at a rate in excess of 6% per year during any part of the period of military service, except as prescribed. Existing law provides that a person who violates this rate of interest provision is liable for actual damages, reasonable attorney's fees, and costs incurred by an injured party. This bill would, in addition, recast these provisions to prohibit an obligation or liability consisting of a mortgage, trust deed, or other security in the nature of a mortgage, that is bearing interest at a rate in excess of 6% per year and incurred by a service member before that person's entry into service from bearing interest in excess of 6% per year for one year after any part of the period of military service.
