How to find out why a car has been seized

How to check a car for arrest and restrictions with bailiffs

Published: 2019-05-19 16:41:53

Checking the car for seizure and registration restrictions is highly advisable before purchasing a used car. Owners of seized cars do not have the right to sell their cars. However, they can use and maintain, “own”, as before the arrest. If you draw up a purchase and sale agreement for a seized car, you will not be able to register it in your name, since such cars are prohibited from carrying out registration actions. At the same time, you are not necessarily going to re-register the car on the day of purchase. During this time, the seller will have time to hide or spend the money, and you will get yourself into a lot of problems. To avoid such an unpleasant situation, we will tell you further how to check a car before buying.

Methods for checking a car for arrest and restrictions with bailiffs

The first method is to check on the official website of the traffic police (https://gibdd.rf):

— go to the “services” tab;

— “car check” or go directly to the direct link to the request form https://GIBDD.RF/check/auto;

— enter the VIN/body/chassis number and request verification.

Today, the following types of checks are available on the traffic police service:

⦁ Checking the registration history with the traffic police

⦁ Check for participation in traffic accidents

⦁ Checking whether you are wanted

⦁ Check for restrictions

The last type of check is exactly on our topic. But, it should be noted that even if restrictions are not found, then you should not calm down completely - the arrest and restrictions may, for example, still be in the process of making a decision and simply not yet entered into the system.

That is why we recommend that you use the second method of checking a car for arrest and restrictions - checking the car owner for the presence of enforcement proceedings and debts to bailiffs, using our free service for checking and paying FSSP debts.

Here you will need to enter the full name of the car owner, his date of birth and select the region. Based on the results of such a check, you will see the situation regarding the seller of the car, from which you can draw conclusions. For example, if the seller has fresh debts to the FSSP, but checking the car on the traffic police website did not reveal established restrictions on registration actions, then it is likely that these restrictions will soon appear in the system. We recommend not to get yourself into trouble and not buy such a car. In the results of the check, if there are debts, all the details of the documents for which there are debts will be listed, as well as the responsible executor - the bailiff. If you wish, you can always find a bailiff and find out the necessary information before making a decision to purchase a car.

How to check a car for free for arrest with bailiffs according to the state. number?

As you have already noticed, it is possible to check the car for arrest and restrictions of bailiffs on the traffic police website only by VIN code. If you do not know the VIN code of the car, but still need to check it, then we suggest you use method 3 .

Bailiffs can check a car for seizure and restrictions using the state number of the car. This is not the easiest way, but still realistic. Let's tell you more about it.

How to find out the VIN code of a car by its state number

You can find out the VIN code of a car by state number by performing two actions/queries:

1. On the website of the Russian Union of Auto Insurers www.autoins.ru, find information about the insurance policy by state number of the car :

— on the RSA website, go to the “OSAGO” tab,

— select “information for policyholders and victims” in the menu on the left,

— in the menu on the right, click on “Information for victims and other participants in an accident about the existence of a valid MTPL agreement in relation to a specific person or vehicle”

- or, skipping everything described above, go directly to the request form using the link - checking information about the compulsory motor liability insurance agreement.

— in the request form that opens, enter the state number of the car you know (don’t forget to indicate the region code) and the date;

- submit a request, and as a result, the data of your existing insurance policy will be displayed.

2. On the same website, based on the insurance policy data, we will determine the VIN code of the car :

— in the request form that opens, enter the insurance policy data we now know and send the request;

- as a result, we get a response that contains the VIN code of the car.

Now, having found out the VIN code of the car, you can check the car on the traffic police website using 1 method.

How to check a car for arrest

Check car by VIN code

When deciding to buy a vehicle secondhand, it is recommended to check the car for arrest. This preventive measure is aimed at preserving property that may be damaged, lost or sold. In this case, the owner of the vehicle is prohibited from performing any registration actions.

The article will discuss ways in which you can check a car for arrest, as well as the consequences of purchasing a vehicle with restrictions.

Checking the car by VIN code

You can find out whether a car has been seized online using the VIN code. This method allows you to quickly obtain information. You can check it on our website using the free service https://www.driver-helper.ru/proverit-avto/po-vin.

To obtain the information you are interested in about a car, you will need to indicate its VIN number in the form that opens. It is registered in PTS and STS and consists of 17 alphabetic and digital characters.

After entering the VIN code, you need to click the “Search” button and wait for the verification results. During the analysis, the system will provide the following information:

• about cars and owners;
• accident history;
• presence of arrests/bans on registration;
• the vehicle is in collateral;
• about using a car as a taxi.

The site interacts with official databases and guarantees the accuracy of the information provided.

How to check a car for arrest on the traffic police website

You can check whether the car is seized or not on the official website of the traffic police. The service provides access to the official database, thanks to which everyone can obtain up-to-date information of interest.

To check, you must follow the following algorithm:

1. Visit the official website of the traffic police.
2. On the main page, select the “Online Services” block and go to the “Vehicle Check” tab.
3. On the page that opens, enter the vehicle's VIN code and security code into the verification window. After this, click on the “Check restrictions” button.

A few seconds after performing these actions, a page with the information of interest will open.

Check on the bailiffs website

Another way to find out about the presence of restrictions on a car is to use the FSSP service. In this case, it is not the vehicle that is checked, but its owner. To obtain information from the bailiff database, you must perform the following steps:

1. Go to the official website of the service and find the “Services” section.
2. Select and go to the subsection “Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings”.
3. Fill out the search form that opens. You will need to indicate the name of the seller and the region of its registration.
4. Click the “Find” button.

After analyzing the entered information, the system will provide information about the presence of enforcement proceedings (IP) against the seller. If, as a result of the check, it turns out that an individual entrepreneur has been initiated, then there is a high probability that his car is under arrest.

This method allows you to find out information that has not yet been entered into the traffic police database.

Check by license plate

The buyer does not always have information about the VIN code of the vehicle. In this case, you can find out whether the car has been seized or not by the license plate number. Such a check can be carried out at the traffic police department or using various Internet resources. For example, this can be done on the official website of the traffic police.

Who can make an arrest and on what grounds?

Restrictions on registration activities may be imposed by authorized bodies. These include:

1. Courts. If a vehicle is the subject of a lawsuit and there is a risk of damage or loss, the court may seize the vehicle until a decision is made.
2. FSSP. Bailiffs can seize a car based on an appropriate court decision if there are unfulfilled financial obligations, for example, debts on fines, alimony or loan payments. This measure of forced collection can be applied if the amount of debt exceeds 3,000 rubles.
3. Traffic Police Investigation Department. He seizes it if, as a result of an accident, the vehicle's VIN code, engine or body number, as well as the license plate are damaged. Also, such a measure may be prescribed if there are suspicions of unauthorized changes to this information.
4. Customs. An arrest is possible if there are suspicions of illegal import of a car into the territory of the Russian Federation or violation of the customs clearance procedure.
5. Preliminary investigation. An arrest may be made if the vehicle is related to the crime under investigation.

If restrictions on the car are imposed because of the owner’s debts, then you can find out the amount of the seizure on the FSSP website. When checking the owner using the database of enforcement proceedings, all the necessary information will be provided: the date of initiation of the individual entrepreneur, the basis and amount of the debt.

What are the risks of buying a seized car?

If the buyer does not check the car for restrictions and purchases a repossessed car, he will face a number of problems.

When you contact the traffic police to re-register a vehicle in your name, it will be denied registration. He will not be able to use the car legally. In this case, you will have to cancel the purchase and sale transaction to return the funds paid. Often this has to be done in court.

Let's sum it up

Checking a car for arrest is a simple procedure that requires a minimum of information and time. It guarantees the buyer no problems associated with vehicle registration and operation. When purchasing a seized vehicle, the new owner will not be able to become its full owner. To get back the money spent, a lawsuit is most often required.

What are the risks of buying a car while it is under arrest?

A car is property that, by analogy with other property, can be seized. In this case, the owner of the vehicle loses the right to dispose of the car at his own discretion. Purchasing a seized car can also cause a lot of trouble. Let's try to figure out what a seized car means.

Content

What does it mean to seize a car?

For most inexperienced car owners, car seizure, ban or restriction of registration actions are identical concepts. However, from a legal point of view they are different.

The restriction prevents the implementation of ownership rights (or other rights) in relation to property. This measure can be used when dividing a car between spouses during a divorce, pledging a vehicle as collateral, etc.

A prohibition should be understood as a decision that prevents the owner of the property from performing a specific action or series of actions. For vehicles, a ban on registration actions is most often used. This measure can be used if there are debts on alimony, loans, fines and in other situations.

The concept of arrest is much broader than the previous ones. In accordance with Article 51 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” (FZ-229 of October 2, 2007), this measure provides for an inventory of property and a ban on performing absolutely any actions with it.

Who has the right to seize a car and in what cases?

This procedure can be initiated by a decision:

• court when satisfying the claim of any organization or government agency (bank, social security department, etc.);
• customs authorities;
• bailiffs.

There are many reasons why a car is seized. The most common of them are unpaid utilities, overdue loans, debts for alimony or traffic police fines. Also, punitive sanctions can be initiated for non-payment of taxes or for violations of customs clearance of a car (for example, the owner, in order to avoid paying a fee to the state treasury, imports it from abroad for spare parts, etc.).

Seizure procedure

The seizure of a car by bailiffs is carried out in the manner provided for in Articles 64 and 68 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”. FSSP employees are required to present the owner with the relevant resolution and draw up an inventory of the property.

An act of seizure must be drawn up and documents for the car must be confiscated: PTS and registration certificate (in this case, the presence of two witnesses is required). The act of seizure specifies the following parameters:

• car color;
• state number;
• body and engine numbers (when it comes to trucks, the chassis number is additionally indicated).

In addition, the document must mention external and internal defects of the car.

Then the issue of transferring the vehicle for storage is decided. An outside person or organization with which the FSSP has concluded a corresponding agreement may be appointed responsible for the safety of the car. However, quite often the seizure procedure is not carried out. In this case, the owner of the car or one of his family members is appointed responsible for storage.

It should be remembered that using a seized car, in accordance with Art. 86 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, it is impossible without the written consent of the bailiff. Otherwise, the matter may lead to criminal liability.

By the way, you most likely will not receive permission from the bailiff, since cars belong to the category of property that can suffer significant damage during operation (for example, in a traffic accident). Accordingly, the cost of the seized transport will decrease.

The lien on the car will be removed after the debt is paid off. Otherwise, it may be put up for auction.

In what cases can the seizure of a car by bailiffs be challenged?

According to current legislation, the arrest procedure cannot be carried out if the car belongs to:

• one of the debtor’s family members (for example, the husband’s car should not be seized for the wife’s debts or vice versa);
• a disabled person, and he needs it for movement;
• a debtor whose work is directly related to the use of a car he owns (taxi, freight transportation, etc.).

If the owner of the vehicle fits one of the above categories, but the arrest was still made, it’s time to go to court.

What are the risks of buying a seized car?

Some owners, after a car has already been seized, try to get rid of it. And there are buyers for such vehicles: they are attracted by the relatively low cost. If you make such a transaction knowingly, remember that you will not be able to legally complete the purchase. All seized vehicles are included in the traffic police database.

Often, the buyer simply does not know that the car sold to him is under arrest. Having contacted the traffic police, the newly-minted owner is denied registration of the vehicle. That is, you seem to have a car, but he cannot use it legally.

In this situation, there are several options:

• Try to get punitive sanctions lifted. True, this is only possible in a situation where the seizure occurred later than the conclusion of the purchase and sale agreement for the vehicle.

• Try to negotiate peacefully with the seller to terminate the transaction and return the money by sending him a corresponding claim in writing. The effectiveness of such actions is very doubtful, since the owner of the car perfectly understood the illegality of his act, which means that persuasion most likely will not work on him. Often the seller simply hides, turns off the phone and does not want to get in touch.

• If the second option does not work, you will have to file a claim to terminate the transaction and return the funds. The buyer has every right to do this in accordance with Article 460 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Here you need to remember the following: if the transaction amount is less than 50 thousand rubles. - you should contact the magistrates, if more - the district court.

Practice shows that in the vast majority of cases your claim will be satisfied, but be prepared for the fact that the legal proceedings will take about 2 months.

An important point when drawing up a purchase and sale agreement (SPA) is to indicate the actual cost of the car. Often, by mutual agreement, a much smaller amount is fixed on paper. At the same time, the buyer should understand that if, for example, he actually paid 500 thousand rubles for the purchase, and the contract indicates half that amount, it will be very difficult to return the money in full. After all, the court does not need words, but documented evidence.

A word from the experts

Yulia Kombarova, General Director of Legal Bureau No. 1

“In all standard contracts for the purchase and sale of property, including cars, there is a clause that states: “The seller guarantees that the car is not pledged, that third parties have no claims to it, and the seller also guarantees that it has no signs of and bankruptcy cases filed.” This clause of the contract protects the buyer, and places full responsibility for the circumstances of the transaction on the seller. Therefore, in the event of detection of arrests imposed on the item of purchase, after concluding a sales contract and transferring money, the buyer has the right to invalidate the contract, receive the money back and return the car.

Proving the good faith of the acquirer is, of course, a time-consuming legal process. But for the services of a representative and other legal expenses can be recovered from an unscrupulous seller in court. It should be noted that if you win a lawsuit, you will not be able to get money right away. Most likely, you will have to contact the bailiff service, and if the debtor is in bankruptcy proceedings, then submit your claims to the register of creditors of the debtor in the bankruptcy case.”

Valerik Vardanovich Galstyan, senior partner of the law firm "Rogov, Galstyan and Partners"

“In such a situation, things can develop in two ways:

• If the contract for the sale and purchase of a vehicle was executed before the seizure, then the new owner has the opportunity to try to lift the seizure in court by proving that he was a bona fide purchaser, and at the time of the seizure the vehicle was not owned by the seller.
• If the purchase and sale agreement was executed after the seizure, the car will be confiscated from the new owner, since the seizure is a restriction on taking actions to alienate property. Therefore, the seller did not have the right to sell the property under arrest.

In the second case, the new owner has every right to terminate the purchase and sale agreement concluded with the seller and demand the return of the funds paid by him.”

How to check a car for arrest

In order to avoid getting into an unpleasant situation and subsequently having to go through the courts, before purchasing, you need to check the car for arrest by bailiffs. To do this, you can contact the traffic police or the FSSP.

In the first case, for verification you will need information about the VIN, chassis number or body number of the vehicle. To access the bailiff database, you need to know the number and series of the car owner’s passport. If for some reason the current owner refuses to provide you with information for verification, it’s time to think about the feasibility of the purchase.

If you need a quick online check of a car for arrest, use the specialized Autocode service. The check will take no more than 5 minutes. It is enough to indicate the state in the search window. vehicle number. You will receive information about the car's former owners, the number of accidents in which it was involved, the actual mileage, whether the car was pledged, whether it was used as a taxi, etc.

Information about the fact of seizure of a vehicle can be found in the “Restrictions” section. You can check the car by following the link!

Seizure of a car by bailiffs

Good afternoon, dear reader.

Almost every driver knows that if the owner of a car has debts, then a ban on registration or seizure .

On the one hand, if the owner himself is a debtor, then he must be prepared for the fact that sooner or later the bailiffs will pay attention to his car.

On the other hand, if a car owner does not thoroughly check the car before purchasing, he may pay money for a seized car without even knowing it.

In this article you will learn:

What is a ban on registration actions?

A ban on registration actions with a car means that the owner of the vehicle will not be able to contact the traffic police to carry out registration actions. If a ban is imposed, then the car cannot:

• Register to another owner (sell, donate, etc.).
• Replace or restore vehicle documents (PTS, registration certificate).
• Make changes to the registration documents (for example, repaint the car or install LPG on it).

For what debts can a car be seized?

Seizure can be imposed for various types of debts. For example, in case of non-payment of a car loan, alimony or traffic police fines. In this case, you need to pay attention to the minimum amount of debt, which is 3,000 rubles .

1 1 . The seizure of the debtor's property under a writ of execution containing a demand for the collection of funds, with the exception of the seizure of funds, the seizure of pledged property subject to recovery in favor of the mortgagee, and the seizure of property under a writ of execution containing a demand for seizure, is not allowed if the amount of recovery is according to enforcement proceedings does not exceed 3,000 rubles.

So, a car can be seized in three cases:

1. For any debt exceeding 3,000 rubles.
2. If the car is collateral, regardless of the amount of debt. For example, collateral for a car may be a condition of a loan agreement.
3. Availability of a writ of execution containing a requirement to seize the vehicle.

Is it possible to drive a car while under arrest?

Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, Chapter 8, Article 80:

4. Seizure of the debtor’s property includes a prohibition to dispose of property , and, if necessary, restriction of the right to use property or seizure of property. The type, volume and period of restriction of the right to use property are determined by the bailiff in each case, taking into account the properties of the property, its significance for the owner or possessor, the nature of its use, which the bailiff makes a note in the resolution on the seizure of the debtor’s property and ( or) an act of seizure (inventory of property).

Please note that this paragraph uses two different prohibitions:

• To dispose of property . This ban is precisely a ban on registration actions. In any case, it is included in the concept of arrest. Those. if a car is seized, it cannot be sold, donated, etc.
• For the right to use property . This ban is issued if necessary, i.e. not always. It means that the car cannot be driven.

So in practice, it all depends on what kind of ban is imposed on the car. If there is only a prohibition on disposal, then you can drive the car . This will not be a violation.

In what cases can a car not be repossessed?

Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, Chapter 8, Article 79:

Article 79. Property that cannot be foreclosed on

1. Collection cannot be applied to property owned by a debtor-citizen, the list of which is established by the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, Article 446:

Article 446. Property that cannot be levied under enforcement documents

1. Collection under executive documents cannot be applied to the following property owned by the debtor citizen:
.

• means of transport and other property necessary for the debtor citizen in connection with his disability;

Thus, if the debtor needs a car due to his disability, then it cannot be seized. Please note that this is not about all disabled people who have cars.

For example, if the disability is due to problems with the legs, then the vehicle should not be confiscated.

On the other hand, if a disabled person does not have problems with movement and simply purchased a car for himself, then the car is not included in the list of exceptions. She may be arrested.

How to check a car for arrest with bailiffs?

You can check for restrictions on registration actions using the official website of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate:

1. Enter the vehicle's VIN number at the top of the page. The VIN code can be found in the vehicle's passport or registration certificate. If you want to check the car before buying, then ask the seller to show you the title and write down the number from it. A decent seller will not refuse this.

Note. According to state It is impossible to check whether a car was arrested in 2019 using the license plate number.

2. Click on the “request review” button in the “Check for restrictions” section. After this, the car will be checked and you will receive information about the presence/absence of restrictions.

Please note that when buying a car, it makes sense to check not only the car itself, but also its owner for debts. You can do this using the following form:

Enter the series and passport number of the current owner of the vehicle and click on the “Search!” button. Why do you need to do this?

The fact is that any seller can have large debts to bailiffs. At the same time, the car has not yet been seized, but in the near future (possibly in the next few minutes) a corresponding decision will be made.

That is, at the time of purchase the car has not yet been seized, but when contacting the traffic police, the buyer may be faced with the fact that the ban will already appear in the database. Accordingly, he will be denied registration. Therefore, before purchasing, you need to check not only the car, but also its owner. If the car seller refuses to provide you with the series and number of your passport, then this is a reason to think about his integrity.

In addition, before buying a car secondhand, it is advisable to check it for a deposit:

How to remove a lien from a car?

You can stop seizing a vehicle in the following ways:

1. Pay off the debt to the bailiffs . This is the most obvious option. As soon as the debt is repaid, the lien on the car will be removed and the car can be sold or donated.

2. Wait until the statute of limitations expires . This option is not suitable for all types of debt. For example, traffic police fines have a statute of limitations. If more than 2 years have passed since the decision to impose a fine came into force, then the driver is not required to pay this fine. Accordingly, if there are no other debts, then the arrest should be terminated.

Please note that in practice, the removal of the seizure from the car may not occur automatically . In this case, the owner will have to contact the bailiffs himself with the corresponding requirement.

One more note. Only the bailiff who imposed it can lift the arrest . Those. It makes no sense to contact the traffic police on this issue; the employees will still be unable to do anything. You need to go to the exact unit of the bailiff service where they dealt with the driver’s debt.

What to do when buying a car with a registration ban?

There is information earlier in this article on how to inspect a car before purchasing. However, unfortunately, not all drivers know these methods. Every year there are buyers who, when contacting the traffic police, are refused due to the fact that the car has a registration ban. What to do in this case:

1. If the seller is decent , then resolving the issue will not be difficult. You just need to contact him (call) and explain the situation.

a) If the debt is small and the seller simply did not know about it, then he can pay off the debt. After this, the seller needs to contact the bailiffs to remove the restriction.

b) If the debt is large and the seller cannot pay it off, then he will return the money you paid for the car and take the car back.

2. The situation is more complicated if the seller is not decent . In this case, it is impossible to quickly solve the problem and you will have to go to court. It is necessary for the judge to declare the purchase and sale transaction invalid and oblige the seller to return the money.

Well, since in practice it is much easier to avoid the seizure of a car than to try to remove it later, I recommend “getting through” information about the car before purchasing it.

Checking a car using the FSSP database: arrest, restriction, bail

In accordance with Russian legislation, in cases where a person has large debts and enforcement proceedings have been initiated, it is permissible to seize property. One of the most common objects subject to seizure is a car.

In this regard, before purchasing a car, it is worth checking the FSSP database to see if the vehicle is under arrest. After all, if this is so, then the transaction will be declared invalid and the car will be seized to pay off debts.

Car arrest

The procedure for seizing a vehicle assumes that the car can be seized and sold in order to obtain funds to pay off debts. It is recommended to check the car for any restrictions before purchasing it. If a car is seized, you cannot legally purchase it.

Seizure by bailiffs in most cases is associated with the inability to dispose of property. That is, repossession of the car is an extreme measure, but the owner needs to fully repay the debt in order to be able to sell and even donate his vehicle.

Checking cars before purchasing is usually limited to viewing information on the traffic police website. There really is information about the presence of restrictions, but it is worth visiting the FSSP website. It is better to avoid transactions with a seller who has enforcement cases, even if the car has not yet been seized. Seizure occurs by decision of authorized employees of various government departments, including the tax service or the court.

The seizure of a car implies a ban on the use and disposal of the vehicle. Along with this, until the decision to confiscate the property, the car remains the property of the owner.

Reasons for arrest

Let's consider the legal aspects on which a decision may be made to seize a car. They are associated primarily with a person’s debt obligations, which he does not repay for a long time.

Key reasons include:

1. Repayment of the fine in accordance with Article 115 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. The seizure can be expressed not in seizure, but in the prohibition of the order, which means that the purchase and sale transaction will not be legal.
2. Collection of customs duties and taxes in accordance with Article 156 of the Federal Law on customs regulation.
3. Ban on sale due to the vehicle being pledged in accordance with Article 460 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to this article, you can also check whether a car is seized through the pledge portal.
4. Payment of fines and penalties on the basis of Article 77 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and 146 of the Federal Law.

So, if the owner of a vehicle has any debts to the state or third parties, then the authorized bodies can seize the car by transferring the corresponding decision to the federal bailiff service.

How to check a car with bailiffs

You can check whether a car has been seized using several official services. The first of them - the traffic police portal provides only superficial information - whether any restrictions are currently imposed on the car.

This is done as follows:

• Go to the official portal of the state traffic inspectorate and select “car check” in the list of services;

• Scroll down the page and request a category to check for restrictions;

• Enter the VIN code of the car and get the information you need.

Note that this check of a car for arrest through the traffic police provides true information, but not complete. For example, bailiffs may not have yet transferred data on the seizure of a car to the state traffic inspectorate. It is recommended to carry out the analysis using the FSSP portal.

When buying a car, it is recommended to check not only the vehicle itself, but also the owner. Starting with whether the owner is the seller, and ending with the legal proceedings against him.

What do you need to check on the FSSP portal?

To check the information, you will need personal information about the owner of the car. It is not necessary to send the request to the bailiff personally; all the necessary information is on the official website of the service.

To receive data on the FSSP portal, you will need the following information about the car owner:

• Region of permanent registration;
• First name, last name and patronymic;
• Date of Birth.

Such information will be enough to find out if there are open enforcement proceedings against a person. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to enter data and obtain information about the presence of restrictions on a vehicle on the bailiffs website.

It is important to correctly enter information about the owner of the car, so you should not just copy the information from the STS, but also take a photo of the seller’s documents.

Procedure

An important feature of the portal of the Federal Bailiff Service is that information about citizens is available to everyone who knows basic information about them. That is, you do not need to enter the series and number of your passport, neither the INN nor the SNILS. Full name and date of birth are usually publicly available information, posted by people even on social networks.

Let's consider the sequence of steps to check a car for arrest:

• Go to the official FSSP portal and select the section dedicated to the site’s services. Select the first item – bank of enforcement proceedings.

• Enter personal information about the owner of the car and send a request. At this step, you may need to enter a code to verify that it is not a robot asking for information.

It happens that a person has a common name. In this case, it is better to check with the owner for additional information in order to determine whether the debt is assigned to him or simply his namesake from the same region.

The Federal Bailiff Service is a government agency that works with debtors for taxes, fines and other debts. All citizens who know the above information about a person can obtain data on the portal.

Test results

Information on the FSSP website is updated quickly. Seizure by bailiffs is a restriction on the disposal of property, including sale. In this regard, if, as a result of the check, information appears that nothing was found according to the request, you can safely conclude a deal.

If the audit reveals certain debts, then you should carefully study the information:

• Firstly, it indicates the date of the decision made and the normative act under which it was adopted.
• Secondly, there are contacts for the bailiff. By calling, you can ask for more detailed information, referring to the planned purchase and sale transaction with a person who has open legal proceedings.

The bailiff service is not required to provide information about citizens, but if a decision is made to seize a vehicle, they are most likely to say so.

Before buying a car, you should thoroughly check both the vehicle itself and the owner. For one of the analyzes it is worth using the portal of the Federal Bailiff Service.

It provides information on the existence of enforcement proceedings against the owner of the vehicle. To verify, you will need to enter basic data about the citizen, which is indicated in the car registration certificate.
