CONSENT TO DECREE AND

ANSWER BY DEFENDANT

______________________________________________________________________________
The State of Iowa asserts:
1.
The State denies the allegations of the Petition for lack of information sufficient
to form a belief. The State lacks information on Plaintiffs documentation or the debtors
payment history, and accordingly takes no position on whether a decree should be entered. The
State encourages use of the Attorney Generals Mortgage Help Hotline (877-622-4866).
2.
If a decree is entered, the State admits its judgment lien is junior to the
mortgage and consents to treatment as a junior lienholder. The State requests that the decree
provide that the proceeds remaining after satisfaction of the amounts due the Plaintiff, if any, be
distributed to junior lien holders in accordance with their lawful priority.
3.
forwarded to the undersigned. This Answer and Consent relates solely to criminal judgment
liens, court costs or other similar liens listed in the Petition as having been entered in favor of the
State of Iowa, and does not relate to taxes, child or other support obligations, or liens entered in
favor of an individually named state agency.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS J. MILLER
Attorney General of Iowa
