44-1038. Filing of statement of claim by
creditors


Every creditor, consenting to an assignment, shall, within six months from the time
of the first publication of the notice of appointment of the assignee, file with the
assignee a distinct statement of the particular nature and amount of his claim against
the debtor, which shall be supported by an affidavit of the creditor, his agent or
attorney, that the statement is true, that the debt is just and that there are no credits
or offsets that should be allowed against the claim, except as shown by the
statement. No creditor shall take any benefit under any assignment whatever who neglects
to file this statement.
