"Auto Industry Under Fire for Systemic Violations of Servicemembers Civil Relief Act A disturbing trend has emerged in the auto industry, with thousands of service members claiming widespread violations of their rights under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). Since 2011, over 152,000 service members have successfully secured more than $489 million in relief, highlighting a systemic problem that has left many veterans and active-duty personnel feeling betrayed.
