3 1 Show Your Clients The Money: Enforcing Judgments in Minnesota Caryn A. Boisen Larson King, LLP and Joseph F. Kueppers Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis Enforcing a judgment requires a working knowledge of: 2 Select Minnesota Statutes The Rules of Civil Procedure How and when to use specific postjudgment creditor s remedies Procedures in sheriffs offices 1
4 3 Docketing the Judgment After the judgment is entered by the Court, the judgment creditor should docket the judgment. Docketing starts the process the judgment creditor uses to try to collect payment of the judgment. Occurs when the winning party in a case files an Affidavit of Identification of Judgment Debtor form with the Court. 4 2
5 5 Transcribing the Judgment This process is used for judgments obtained in Conciliation Court. Must request that Conciliation Court transcribe the judgment to District Court. After the transcript is prepared, all the paperwork will be sent to District Court, and you will receive a new file number from District Court. 6 Satisfaction of the Judgment Once the judgment is paid in full, or is paid to the judgment creditor's satisfaction, the next step is to notify the Court that the judgment has been paid. To do this, the judgment creditor completes a Satisfaction of Judgment form and files it with the Court. If the creditor does not cooperate with completing the Satisfaction of Judgment form, the judgment debtor can file a Motion to Satisfy Judgment with the Court, which will also update the Court records to show that the judgment has been paid. 3

7 9 How Long Does a Judgment Last? A judgment can be enforced for 10 years from the date it was entered. It can also be "renewed" if not satisfied (paid) within the 10 years. Multiple renewals are permitted. See Dahlin v. Kroening, 796 N.W.2d 503 (Minn. 2011). To enforce a judgment that was not paid during the 10 year timeframe, you have to start a new lawsuit before the end of the 10 year period, based on a claim for failure to pay a judgment. 10 Lien on Real Estate A judgment is a lien on all real estate in the county where it is docketed Minn. Stat The judgment lien on real estate is automatic with respect to abstract property. With respect to Torrens property, the Transcript of Judgment must be memorialized on the Certificate of Title to be a lien on the property Minn. Stat

Format and content set forth in Minn. Stat Must serve personally or by mail at least 10 days before attempting to garnish wages. The Notice is valid for one year. If no statement of exemption is received, the judgment creditor may proceed with the garnishment. Garnishment of Earnings (continued) 20 The Notice informs the judgment debtor that: His/her wages may be garnished, without any further notice, after 10 days. He/she has a right to a hearing if the garnishment by the employer is incorrect. There are some types of assistance he/she may receive that are exempt from garnishment. If he or she wants to claim an exemption, he/she must fill out a form and send it to the judgment creditor and the employer. 10
13 Garnishment of Earnings (continued) To proceed with the garnishment, the judgment creditor must serve the judgment debtor s employer with a Garnishment Summons and Disclosure Form. Format and content set forth in Minn. Stat and The Garnishment Summons directs the employer to serve upon the judgment creditor a completed Earnings Garnishment Disclosure Form. The Garnishment Summons also directs the employer to retain earnings subject to garnishment, not to exceed 110% of the judgment creditor s claim, until the judgment creditor causes a writ of execution to be served on the employer. 21 Garnishment of Earnings (continued) 22 The judgment creditor must mail a copy of the Garnishment Summons and Earnings Garnishment Form to the judgment debtor within 5 days of service on the employer. The judgment creditor must also serve the judgment debtor with a Notice to Debtor. Format and content set forth in Minn. Stat

15 25 Small Money Judgment Levy Minn. Stat , et. seq. permits attorneys to levy on money, personal property, and earnings using a quick alternative to a formal Writ of Execution. Notice of Execution Levy on third-parties holding money of the debtor is served by certified mail, along with two copies of an Exemption Notice if debtor is an individual. The maximum amount that can be levied upon in the possession of a particular third-party is $10,000. Small Money Judgment Levy (continued) 26 There is an affirmative duty imposed by Minn. Stat on a third-party holding money to immediately remit funds to the attorney who served the Notice of Execution levy, if the debtor is a corporation, or 15 days after the third-party mails to exemption notice to the debtor. 13
16 27 Receiverships Minn. Stat Receiverships are used by lenders to protect the value of property in foreclosure. The judgment creditor must file a motion with the court to appoint a receiver. Appointment of a receiver is a matter of discretion with the trial court. A receiver may be appointed on allegation and proof of waste or threatened waste of the property due to either misuse or non-use. Examples: Leaving the property vacant to its detriment. Failing to pay taxes and insurance. Neglecting to make necessary repairs. 28 Pre-Litigation Attachment Minn. Stat An order of attachment may be issued by the court in connection with a civil action for the recovery of money. The claimant may have the property of the respondent attached as security for the satisfaction of any judgment the claimant may recover. Only a judge of the court in the county in which the civil action is pending may issue the order for attachment. 14
17 Pre-Litigation Attachment Continued The claimant must show that the respondent has: Assigned, secreted, or disposed of, or is about to assign, secrete, or dispose of, any non-exempt property, with intent to delay or defraud the respondent's creditors; Removed, or is about to remove, any non-exempt property from this state, with intent to delay or defraud the respondent's creditors; Converted or is about to convert any non-exempt property into money or credits, for the purpose of placing the property beyond the reach of the respondent's creditors; Committed an intentional fraud giving rise to the claim upon which the civil action is brought; Committed any act or omission for which the respondent has been convicted of a felony, giving rise to the claim upon which the civil action is brought; or Violated the law of this state respecting unfair, discriminatory, and other unlawful practices in business, commerce, or trade Pre-Judgment Interest The pre-judgment interest rate is governed by Minn. Stat Interest accrues on pecuniary damages from the earlier of: The time of the commencement of the action; or The time of a written notice of the claim. 15
18 Pre-Judgment Interest (continued) 31 Pre-judgment interest accrues even if the damages are not readily ascertainable, such as consequential damages or pain and suffering. Pre-judgment interest does not accrue for certain enumerated items such as: Future damages, Cost and disbursements, Punitive or non-compensatory damages, and Workers compensation awards. Post-Judgment Interest Minn. Stat Post-judgment interest accrues on the unpaid balance of judgments from final entry of judgment until satisfaction of the judgment. Prior to 2009, the rate for all post-judgment interest was computed annually and remained steady at about 4 percent for many years. In 2009, the Minnesota Legislature amended , setting the interest rate for judgments over $50,000 at 10 percent. This does not include judgments against a governmental body. 16
19 Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) Establishes ethical guidelines for the collection of consumer debts. 33 Prohibits a debt collector from using any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. 15 U.S.C. 1692e. Broadly defines a debt collector as "any person who uses any instrumentality of interstate commerce or the mails in any business the principal purpose of which is the collection of any debts, or who regularly collects or attempts to collect, directly or indirectly, debts owed or due or asserted to be owed or due another. 15 U.S.C. 1692a. In their first communication with the consumer, debt collectors are required to notify debtors about their ability to challenge the validity of a debt and to provide other basic information. Scenario One The judgment debtor has several judgments against him. 34 The judgment debtor is avoiding service. The judgment debtor s assets are unable to be identified easily. How should you proceed? 17
20 Scenario Two You have a judgment against the judgment debtor in Ramsey County. When you obtained the judgment in 2012, the judgment debtor lived in Ramsey County. The judgment debtor has since moved to Polk County, Wisconsin. 35 How should you proceed? Scenario Three The judgment debtor has a bank account with U.S. Bank that has substantial funds in it. Two other judgment creditors recently obtained judgments and are proceeding against the U.S. Bank funds. 36 How should you proceed? 18
