The notice, instructions, and exemption notices must be substantially in the forms set forth in section571.912. Failure of the creditor to send the exemption notice renders the garnishment void, and the financial institution shall take no action. Upon receipt of the garnishment summons and exemption notices, the financial institution shall retain as much of the amount under section571.73as the financial institution has on deposit owing to the debtor, but not more than 110 percent of the creditor's claim.
