(a) Notice of Disclosure Hearing. If the judgment debt is not paid within 30 days of the date of the entry of the judgment, a judgment creditor may disclose a judgment debtor by payment of the filing fee specified in the Court Fee Schedule and filing with the clerk either (1) a written request for a disclosure hearing or (2) a notice of disclosure hearing with a return of service. (1) Service by Judgment Creditor. A judgment creditor who has filed or intends to file 3 or more small claims actions in a calendar month shall make service of the notice of disclosure hearing on the judgment debtor as provided in Rule 4(a), and the return of service must be filed as provided in Rule 4(e) except that it must be filed no later than 2 days prior to the hearing. The judgment creditor must obtain a hearing date and time from the clerk, and the notice of disclosure hearing shall contain that date and time. (2) Service by Clerk. A judgment creditor who has filed or intends to file less than 3 small claims actions in a calendar month shall have the option of making service of the notice of disclosure hearing on the judgment debtor as provided in Rule 4(a) or of making a written request to the clerk to arrange for service. A judgment creditor who requests that the clerk arrange for service shall file an affidavit stating that the judgment creditor has not and does not intend to file 3 or more small claims actions in any court in the State during that calendar month. A judgment creditor who requests the clerk to arrange for service shall pay to the clerk a fee specified in the Court Fee Schedule. Service by the clerk shall be by Rule 4(a)(l). If service cannot be completed-by that method, the clerk shall arrange for service by Rule 4(a)(3) except that such service may be made in hand only. Service by the method in Rule 4(a)(3) shall be at the additional expense of the judgment creditor.
(b) Time of Notice. The notice of disclosure hearing must be served upon the judgment debtor not less than 7 days prior to the disclosure hearing. (c) Disclosure Proceedings. Disclosure proceedings shall comply with the requirements of 14 M.R.S.A. §§3120 et seq., except that the subpoena and execution requirement of those sections shall be met by the notice of disclosure hearing described above. (d) Enforcement of Judgments in Other Actions. Nothing herein shall prohibit or prevent a judgment creditor from obtaining an execution and from proceeding to enforce a judgment in the same manner as in other actions. Me. R. Small. Claims. P. 12
