Servicemembers' Rights Invoked To Postpone Foreclosure

In Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Herald reports:
  • "Allegheny County's acting sheriff said Tuesday he postponed the sheriff's sale of a Brookline man's home because the homeowner said he was in the military on active duty. Acting Sheriff Bill Mullen said Scott Marx called the sheriff's office to say he was in the military. His house [...] was scheduled to be sold Monday at the monthly sheriff's sale. The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act prohibits the foreclosure sale of real estate of a person on active duty, unless the creditor has obtained a court order approving the sale, foreclosure or seizure of the real estate."
