Despite a contract with Camp Pendleton requiring strict compliance with the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the company allegedly ignored warnings — even boasting they “do this all the time.” The Department of Justice intervened after a military lawyer flagged the violations nearly two years before the suit. Now, S&K Towing is shutting down, but has agreed to adopt compliant practices if it ever re-enters the business. This case highlights the frustrating intersection of military service and bureaucratic mishandling — and offers a rare chance for justice for those affected.
