- (1) The creditor of a service member who, prior to entry into state military service, has entered into an installment contract for the purchase of real or personal property may not terminate the contract or repossess the property for nonpayment or any breach occurring during military service without an order from a court of competent jurisdiction.

- (a) order repayment of any prior installments or deposits as a condition of terminating the contract and resuming possession of the property;
- (b) order a stay of the proceedings on the court's own motion, or on motion by the service member or another individual on the service member's behalf; or
- (c) make any other disposition of the case the court considers to be equitable to conserve the interests of all parties.
