The Justice Department announced a consent order on February 1, 2024 with Billy Joe Goines, doing business as Goines Towing & Recovery in North Carolina, requiring $66,805.06 in relief for affected servicemembers, forgiveness of storage fees for certain servicemembers, mandatory SCRA training, and new written policies and procedures, according to the DOJ. The order was entered in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
