A debtor must file a mediation request form with the statewide program office within 14 days after receiving a mediation notice. A debtor may withdraw a mediation request at any time before 14 days after receiving a mediation notice. The debtor's withdrawal must be in writing. Withdrawal of the mediation request constitutes a waiver of the debtor's right to mediate the debt that initiated the service of the mediation notice under the Farmer-Lender Mediation Act unless the debtor refiles the mediation request within the 14 days permitted to file the original mediation request.
