The creditor objects to your exemption claim. This hearing is to decide if your exemption claim is valid.

Note: Bring all your documents and materials that support your exemption claim to the hearing. If you don't, the court's decision could be held up.

Because there is a court hearing scheduled about your exemption claim, your bank will keep your funds until it gets an order from the court.
