The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine explained to citizens how to get information about the seizure of a bank account and what to do if the account is blocked. The issue of seizure of accounts is relevant for many debtors, so it is important to understand how to act correctly in such situations.
According to the Ministry of Justice, citizens can find out about the seizure of their bank account in several ways: Through the bank: The debtor can contact his bank where he has an account and ask about the status of the account, including information about the seizure. Through enforcers: Information can also be obtained from a state enforcement agency or a private enforcer who are engaged in conducting investigations and enforcing court orders.
Removal of seizure from a bank account is possible in cases where the automated system of executive proceedings or the Unified register of debtors do not work. The procedure for removing the attachment is as follows: Entering the amount of debt: To remove the attachment from the account, it is necessary to deposit the full amount of the debt to the account of the state executive service. Obtaining a decision on the removal of the attachment: After depositing the funds, the executor issues a decision on the removal of the attachment, which is sent to the bank for execution. Currently, the Ministry of Justice has reported that in Ukraine it is possible to submit documents for the opening of enforcement proceedings, but only those documents that require immediate execution will be considered. Other documents will be considered after the restoration of the registers.
Thus, it is important for debtors who have a lien on their account to know about the possibility of obtaining information through the bank or executors, as well as the procedure for lifting the lien if the situation requires immediate settlement.
