CCG 0647 - GARNISHMENT SUMMONS (NON-WAGE). This form is a summons for a garnishment of assets. It is addressed to a garnishee defendant, who may be an individual or a corporation, and requires them to file answers to the judgment creditor’s interrogatories before the return date stated in the summons. Failure to file answers may result in a conditional judgment by default against the garnishee defendant. The form provides instructions on how to file an appearance or answer, which can be done electronically by e-filing with the circuit clerk’s office. E-filing is mandatory, but exemptions may be available for in-person or mail filing. If the garnishee defendant is unable to pay the court fees, they can apply for a fee waiver. The summons includes information about the court date, which will be sent to the garnishee defendant's e-file email account or provided by the clerk's office. The defendant can also attend the court date remotely by phone or video conference. The form includes a notice of rights in bank accounts, informing the defendant that certain funds may be exempt from garnishment under federal and state law, such as social security benefits, public aid benefits, and personal property up to a certain amount. www.FormsWorkflow.com
