A new case was handed down by the Missouri Supreme Court this summer, State ex rel. Nothum v Walsh (Mo.2012). This case is great because it clarifies the issue that a debtor can plead the 5th and refuse to testify in a debtor exam, even if the prosecutor grants immunity. No longer can a debt collector   force a debtor to testify under oath about their assets in a debtor’s exam. For more information about this valuable right call Boevingloh & Pliakos 314-989-1492.
