SCRA Protections
Yes, your monthly payment is still required when the rate is reduced to 6%.
No, the SCRA also allows eligible service members to cancel or terminate your lease without paying certain early termination charges or penalties. However, you may still be responsible for some end-of-lease amounts such as past due payments up to the date of termination, taxes, excess mileage and/or excess wear related to your vehicle(s).
Once your lease has been approved for SCRA early termination, we will outline next steps for you. Your originating dealership is the best place to turn in your vehicle when you want to terminate your lease. If you have moved a significant distance, please reach out to your local participating GM dealership to ensure they are available to accept the vehicle for turn-in.
If you experience any issues, feel free to call us at 1-855-719-9693 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday.
