California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 9 — Enforcement of Judgments, Division 2 — Enforcement of Money Judgments, Chapter 4 — Exemptions, Article 1 — General Provisions, Section 703.090
If a judgment creditor has failed to oppose a claim of exemption within the time allowed by Section 703.550 or if property has been determined by a court to be exempt, and the judgment creditor thereafter levies upon or otherwise seeks to apply the property toward the satisfaction of the same money judgment, the judgment creditor is not entitled to recover the subsequent costs of collection unless the property is applied to satisfaction of the judgment.
Notes
Bars a judgment creditor from recovering later collection costs when the creditor failed timely to oppose an exemption claim or a court determined the property exempt, and the creditor later levies on or otherwise seeks that property for the same judgment. The bar does not apply if the property is actually applied to satisfaction of the judgment.
