§ 571.926 — Proceedings if No Exemption Statement is Received
Plain-Language Summary
Allows the creditor to proceed with wage garnishment if the debtor does not return an exemption statement within 10 days. However, the debtor's failure to respond does not permanently waive their exemption rights. The creditor may still garnish even after receiving an exemption statement, but risks bad-faith sanctions.
571.926 PROCEEDINGS IF NO EXEMPTION STATEMENT IS RECEIVED.
If no statement of exemption is received by the creditor on an earnings garnishment within ten days from the service of the notice, the creditor may proceed with the garnishment. Failure of the debtor to serve a statement does not constitute a waiver of any right the debtor may have to an exemption. If the statement of exemption is received by the creditor, the creditor may still cause a garnishment summons to be issued subject to sanctions provided in section 571.72, subdivision 6.
