Text: Appellants contend Wells Fargo violated the Minnesota Garnishment Statute by acting in bad faith when it garnished MSK's account at Community First. Under the Minnesota Garnishment Statute, they argue the garnishment is therefore void. Minn.Stat. § 571.90 (2000). Appellants also argue Wells Fargo violated the statute by failing to provide the required $15 fee to the garnishee, Community First. Id. § 571.76. The district court properly found Wells Fargo's efforts to collect the Ramsey County judgment through garnishment was legal and, therefore, not in bad faith. [7] With respect to Appellants' second argument, pertaining to the Section 571.76 violation, Appellants do not have standing to enforce Section 571.76, which requires Wells Fargo to make payment to Community First. The district court properly granted summary judgment to Wells Fargo on MSK's garnishment claims.
