Yes, you absolutely did violate the SCRA and should have known better since you are aware of the free databases available.
Look up United States v. Horoy, Inc. d/b/a Across Town Movers (S.D. Cal.). The complaint, which was filed on March 16, 2015, alleged that the operators of a storage facility in San Diego County, California auctioned off the goods of a Master Chief Petty Officer and several other servicemembers without obtaining court orders, as required by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). The consent order requires the defendants to pay $169,900 in damages: $150,000 to the Master Chief Petty Officer and a total of at least $19,900 to nine other servicemembers. The order also requires defendants to check the Defense Department's military database and their own files to see if the customer is protected by the SCRA before auctioning off anyone's goods. In cases where the customer is an SCRA-protected servicemember, the defendants are not permitted to conduct an auction without first obtaining a court order. If that order is a default judgment, it must be issued only after defendants file a proper affidavit informing the court of the servicemember's active duty status.
