Upon receipt of such affidavit, the pawnbroker shall permit the pledger either to redeem the loan or to receive a new ticket upon the payment of accrued interest and charges, and the pawnbroker shall incur no liability for so doing, unless the pawnbroker had previously received written notice of any adverse claim.
