        624.37  SATISFACTION OF JUDGMENT -- PENALTY.
         When the amount due upon judgment is paid off, or satisfied in
      full, the party entitled to the proceeds thereof, or those acting for
      that party, must acknowledge satisfaction of the judgment by the
      execution of an instrument referring to it, duly acknowledged and
      filed in the office of the clerk in every county wherein the judgment
      is a lien.  A failure to do so within thirty days after having been
      requested in writing shall subject the delinquent party to a penalty
      of one hundred dollars plus reasonable attorney fees incurred by the
      party aggrieved, to be recovered in an action for the satisfaction or
      acknowledgment by the party aggrieved.
