Today, most employers transfer funds to the employee’s bank account. However, this state of affairs has increased the number of debtors whose non-cash funds are seized.
This decision is made by bailiffs. They are the executors of the court decision and can only act on the basis of a verdict that has entered into legal force.
The seizure of an account with Sberbank by bailiffs does not provide the opportunity to freely dispose of own funds.
Nevertheless, often in the process of performing this procedure the rights of debtors are violated. That is why it is necessary to know about the procedure for its production to protect their own interests.
Causes
may be imposed for the following reasons:
- interim measure in order to execute a sentence in a civil lawsuit or to recover a fine in a criminal process;
- as a measure of the implementation of the execution of a judicial verdict, when, by decision of the court, a foreclosure is made on the property of the debtor.
The blocking of funds is used as an effective way to repay a debt, ensuring the implementation of a court decision regarding the collection of property.
It is used to obtain funds against maintenance obligations.
The legislative framework
The procedure for seizing a bank account is regulated by the “On Enforcement Proceedings”. This regulatory act defines a list of funds that may be blocked. In the same Federal Law, a list of those proceeds that are not subject to arrest is approved.
The Federal Law "On Enforcement Proceedings" defines:
- procedure for the production of the procedure;
- the process of interaction between bailiffs and a banking organization.
The seizure of accounts in Sberbank by bailiffs
We have already determined that the arrest is made by court order in cases approved by Russian law.
It must be clarified that this measure can be applied to both individuals and legal entities who have an account with Sberbank.
In most cases, this procedure is implemented in accordance with the law.
However, it should be borne in mind that in practice there are situations when an arrest is made erroneously or in violation of the provisions of existing regulatory legal acts.
The Bank
The bank has no right to seize the account. This violation often happens in practice. For example, if the client has not only a debit account, but also pays a loan in this bank. So, a credit institution is trying to get its own money, but this is illegal.
The bank does not have the authority to force block funds of the client. Such actions may be appealed.
The seizure of an account is allowed only after a court verdict is issued. To recover a debt, a bank needs to file a lawsuit, transfer it to court and wait for a decision.
Based on the verdict, bailiffs will arrest if necessary.
Without notice
It is very important to consider the possibility of seizing an account without notifying its owner. The legislator gives a positive answer to this question.
Thus, the blocking of funds is carried out unexpectedly for their owner. This measure is used as a security measure.
However, forced arrest actions are permissible only after the person has been given the opportunity to pay the debt voluntarily.
If the procedure itself has not been followed, then a sudden lock can be appealed.
Retirement
Pensions may be accrued for various reasons. The possibility of seizure will depend on the type of payment.
This measure should not be applied in case of receiving a survivor's pension. These funds cannot be levied.
In any case, deduction is made in an amount not exceeding 50% of the monthly pension.
Salary
More often than not, a salary account is subject to arrest. This is due to the fact that it serves as the main source of monthly revenue. This money is required to be paid.
If collection is carried out at the expense of wages, you should be aware that in accordance with the law this is permissible in an amount not exceeding 50% of monthly income.
This amount is subject to change. For example, on maintenance obligations, the percentage can grow up to 70%, and taking into account the position of the debtor, it can decrease up to 30%.
Procedure
If your account was arrested, then, first of all, you need to find out who carried out this measure, the grounds for implementation.
In the territorial authority of the FSSP, all documents must be requested and copies made from them.
If the debtor has evidence of the illegality of the actions of the authorized bailiffs, then you can file a complaint with the court.
What to do?
So, if you think that your rights were violated during the arrest, then you need to determine what to do when the bailiff arrests your account with Sberbank:
- find out the reason for blocking;
- to get acquainted with the documents that are the basis for the seizure, you can get them at your bank;
- to receive an account statement from a credit institution with a breakdown of the purpose of payments, for example, it should indicate that the funds are wages or social benefits (pension, allowance);
- formation of a complaint addressed to the head of the territorial body of the FSSP.
The complaint must reflect the actions of the performers who were committed in violation of the law, and also ask for the cancellation of the illegal decision.
Along with this document, the following acts must be submitted:
- account statement;
- certificate from the employer.
The competent authority must respond to the complaint within 10 days.
If the verdict is negative or it did not arrive at all during the indicated period, then it is necessary to prepare a lawsuit.
How to take off?
Let's figure out how to quickly remove the arrest? There are two ways to do this:
- debt repayment;
- court account unlocking.
In the first case, the arrest will be lifted due to the termination of the functioning of the reasons by which the account was blocked. In the second - illegal actions of bailiffs are appealed.
Debt repayment
Usually, all funds that are stored on it are debited from the blocked account.
There are two options for further developments:
- if there are enough funds in the account, then it will be automatically unlocked after debiting;
- if there is not enough money, then the balance will be withdrawn monthly in the amount of 50% of the income that may be levied.
The timing
Once the grounds for the arrest have been eliminated, the account must be unlocked. These actions are not performed immediately. By law, these actions must be carried out within 3 days.
In fact, often this period is delayed and after how long the arrest is lifted is unknown. In each specific situation, these may be different periods.
Typically, a credit institution explains this circumstance by the presence of objective reasons - the need to obtain an official order from the bailiffs.
Thus, it is impossible to say unequivocally how soon Sberbank withdraws an arrest from an account.
In order to prevent this process from being delayed, we recommend that you take the original documents to your bank yourself.
What means of restriction are not imposed?
Please note that the seizure may not be imposed on all funds held in a bank account.
The list of revenues that cannot be levied is approved in the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”.

This article is a continuation of the topic of the seizure of property of a debtor - legal entity and is devoted to the seizure of funds in taxpayer accounts. Here we will touch upon the procedure for imposing and removing seizures from bank accounts of organizations, individual entrepreneurs and individuals, what are the grounds for this and what legislative acts govern these legal processes.
The seizure of the debtor's accounts is a one-time purposeful action, fixing the funds in the bank account of the client-debtor. This procedure prohibits the client from carrying out any operations with money within the limits of the amount to be seized. It should be noted that, unlike the procedure for suspending operations on an account, the seizure of an account with a debtor does not imply a complete ban on the use of accounts, respectively, funds that exceed the amount that has been seized can be used by the client at his own discretion.
In the event that the amount of funds in the client’s bank account is less than that specified in the Arrest Ordinance, seizure takes place only for the amount that is in the account at the time of the arrest.
In the absence of funds in the bank account, the bank, on the basis of the absence of the subject of arrest, shall return the document on the arrest of the account to the authority that issued this Decision.
In accordance with Article 8 of the Federal Law "On Enforcement Proceedings", Articles 96 and 318 of the AIC, Article 393 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, an arrest on the funds of a client-debtor can be imposed on the basis of the Executive Document. According to the list defined by Article 12 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, the grounds for the seizure of funds may be:
- writ of execution, which was issued by the arbitration court or court of general jurisdiction;
- judicial acts or orders;
- resolution of the bailiff.
Note that in cases where the seizure of an account occurs on the basis of a decision of the bailiff, the amount to be arrested will include all costs of the enforcement proceedings.
On the basis of Article 81 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, in the event that the details of the settlement and personal accounts of the debtor are unknown, bailiffs have the right to send the relevant Decree on the search for bills to the bank with the subsequent arrest. In turn, the heads of other banking and financial-credit organizations are obliged to provide the necessary information about the debtor's funds stored in the accounts, at the request of the judicial authority, prosecutor's office, investigator or interrogator based on the written consent of the prosecutor.
The seizure of accounts, as well as, is documented in accordance with the requirements of Articles 166 and 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.
In the case of seizure of the debtor's account, and the funds are deposited in accounts, deposits or deposited with the bank in foreign currency, the decision of the bailiff may oblige the bank or other credit institution to put up the debtor's foreign currency for sale in the amount provided for in clause 6 Art. 46 Federal Law "On Enforcement Proceedings".
In cases where the debtor's funds are in the accounts of a bank organization that does not have the right to sell foreign currency, the bailiff may, by its Decree, oblige the organization to transfer the funds of the debtor client to another bank organization that has the right to sell foreign currency.
The decision of the bailiff must be executed within 7 days from the date of its admission to a banking organization.After receiving a Decision from the bailiff, including on the search and seizure of an account, the bank is obliged to perform the following actions:
- In the shortest possible time, stop the expenditure operations on the account of the client-debtor within the arrested amount. If the amount of funds in the account is insufficient to cover a debt obligation, on the basis of clause 6 of article 81 “On Enforcement Proceedings”, the bank is obliged to collect the necessary amount on the client’s account from future receipts.
- At a minimum time, provide the bailiff with information on the details of the accounts of the client-debtor and the amount that is seized for each account. At the same time, in accordance with Clause 4, Article 81 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, the bailiff must take operational measures to remove the arrest from funds in excess of the amount seized.
Debt seizure
Any write-off of funds from the debtor's account within the limits of the amount that was seized, including for any of the presented executive documents, can be performed only upon removal of the arrest (Clause 4, Article 70 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”).
Accordingly, in the presence of the Resolution on the arrest of the debtor's accounts, it should indicate in what volume and order the arrest imposed by the bailiff must be lifted.
The transfer of funds that have been seized by the relevant authorities is carried out on the basis of a writ of execution, presented to the bank by the bailiff or directly by the collector. After removing the arrest from the accounts, the bank is obliged to transfer funds in the order of writing off (Article 855 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), taking into account the following conditions:
- The orders of bailiffs for recovery of funds belong to the 5th group of priority of debiting, the priority of their execution is determined by the bank depending on the requirements for which the funds are debited.
- The decision of the bailiff on the recovery of funds, issued on the basis of the decision of the tax authority to suspend operations on the debtor's account, is paid by the bank in the following cases:
- compensation for harm to life and health;
- collection of alimony;
- payment of funds for labor;
- payments for severance pay;
- payment of tax fees and insurance premiums.
In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 76 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the Decision to suspend operations on accounts does not apply to the above grounds.
In cases where a legal entity has been officially declared bankrupt, on the basis of Section 126 of the Federal Law on Bankruptcy (Insolvency) ..., all previously seized accounts must be withdrawn in accordance with a court decision.
Removal of an arrest from an account of a client-debtor can be made on the basis of:
- decisions on the removal of the arrest made by the body that made the decision to seize the account;
- decisions on the removal of an arrest from an account made by a higher authority;
- the decision to cancel the executive document of arrest, which was adopted by the authority superior to the authority that issued the arrest warrant;
- a court ruling that the executive document on the seizure of funds is invalid.
The procedure for removing an arrest from property and accounts of a debtor is determined by the same rules as the arrest procedure.
Important! The banking organization is not liable for losses incurred by the client as a result of the arrest or suspension of operations on the account on the basis of a decision of the tax authority. In accordance with Article 132 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, the bank is not entitled to open new accounts for the debtor organization if there is a decision to suspend or arrest it accounts.
Due to various circumstances, bailiffs have to seize accounts of individuals or legal entities in various financial and credit institutions. Sometimes this is one of the most realistic ways to repay a debt or collect child support. But there are times when bailiffs arrested an account with Sberbank by accident or in violation of the procedure.
The procedure for the seizure of funds
After the final court decision is made, after a certain time, the bailiff receives a writ of execution or a court order to recover from the debtor: on a loan, alimony, etc.
The main task of the bailiff is to find from the debtor the means by which it is possible to pay off the debt in the amount specified in the court order.
To do this, the bailiff sends requests to all banking institutions in order to search for accounts drawn up in the name of the debtor.
If the latter has an account with Sberbank and the request is framed in accordance with legislative standards, then the financial institution gives an answer to the bailiff, where they indicate all the debtor and the remaining money on them.
Based on the information received, the bailiff seizes the account at Sberbank. Now the owner of the banking product can no longer use it, but he will probably find out about this later, as no one is obliged to notify the account holder of the seizure.
How to find out if an account at Sberbank is seized
From what has already been written, it is clear that most often account holders will learn about its blocking after the fact. On the other hand, such a situation does not arise without preconditions: if the court imposed a financial penalty on a citizen, you need to pay or be prepared for the consequences.
You can check if the account is blocked by using a special service available on the website of the Federal Tax Service - indicate in the form you will need your TIN and identification number of the banking institution.
When the bailiffs arrested an account with Sberbank without notifying the debtor, one should not expect a quick win in the court case. After all, all the procedures were followed, since no one is obliged to notify the account holder of the seizure. The main task of the bailiffs is to find money and secure by all legal means. A notification of the debtor is fraught with the fact that he, and the seizure of accounts by bailiffs will not make sense.
What accounts can bailiffs arrest?
All actions in order to recover money for debt repayment are regulated by the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”. Since the client’s funds can be stored on different banking products, the following may be blocked:
- all current accounts of the debtor;
- banking products to which it is attached;
Moreover, it should be noted that the bailiff seizes all the bank accounts of the debtor regardless of their intended purpose: they receive wages, social assistance or they are used for accumulation.
Debt repayment
From the blocked bank account, the bailiff can first debit all the rest of the money. Two options are possible:
- if there is enough money to repay, then after they are debited, the account is unblocked;
- if there is not enough money, then 50% will be deducted from subsequent receipts to the account. That is, when a salary of 30,000 rubles is credited to the debtor, 15,000 will be written off to pay off the writ of execution, and the remaining 15,000 will be at his disposal.
Procedure for Removing Arrest
So, the bailiffs blocked the bank account, what should I do? There are two different ways, depending on the reasons for the arrest:
- pay the debt off;
- to win.
If everything is clear with the first option, then the second can be used if you think that the arrest was unlawful or you can indicate procedural violations, and, most importantly, you can justify your opinion and confirm with documents or evidence.
The procedure is as follows:
Reply to this document, in accordance with the law, must within 10 days.
If the answer is no or no, you should file a lawsuit or a complaint with the regional head of the executive service. The text of the complaint is not strictly regulated, it is necessary to correctly describe all events in a chronological order and justify the reasons why access to money cannot be blocked (for example, this is the only way to receive means of subsistence).
Many are interested in the question, if the bailiffs arrested an account with Sberbank, can another be opened? The answer is rather negative: it is possible to open an account, but it is unlikely to be able to use it. The bailiff will periodically send requests to all banks, respectively, will have up-to-date information about the debtor’s accounts and will be able to block them.

The concept
The arrest of a bank account is measure of impact on a bank customerhaving outstanding debts to the state, private organizations and other persons.
The arrest procedure is carried out by a court decision on the basis of a verdict issued to the debtor.
In this case, the account may be arrested. both an individual and a legal entity.
A financial institution serving a current account does not have the right to block and unblock accounts. In the bank you can only find out on the basis of what document the arrest procedure was carried out. IN number of authorities authorized to block account includes:
- The Federal Tax Service;
- general and arbitration courts - their decisions are implemented by bailiffs;
- bailiffs on their own behalf - when they comply with decisions of authorized structures for debt collection;
- investigating authorities - in criminal cases;
- Federal Service for Financial Monitoring - when there are suspicions of terrorism.
Arrest sanctions take effect on the day when a document came to the bank with a resolution on “freezing” account.
Moreover, if the arrest is imposed by a court of general jurisdiction, or by bailiffs, the debtor does not have the right to spend funds in the amount necessary to cover the debt.
Causes
In most cases reasons for the arrestbank account of the Federal Tax Service, the following:
- The taxpayer has delayed the submission of tax reporting.
- Taxes and other payments to the state budget are not paid.
- A tax audit takes place in the organization, and such a measure is designed to ensure its accuracy and legality.
Sometimes the arrest of the account of the Federal Tax Service occurs by mistake, or in this way the tax is trying to increase its performance before the higher management. In this case, the law is completely on the side of whose account mistakenly blocked.
The situation is different if the bailiff arrests the bank account - this method refuses to influence the debtor in order to close the amount of debt prescribed in the court order.
What does it apply to?
The main task of the bailiff is to find the funds necessary to pay off the debt. Moreover, the debtor himself will not be informed of the lockown account. At the bank, bailiffs are provided with a report on the status of the client’s accounts with balances on them.
All activities of enforcement agencies related to the seizure of bank accounts are detailed in the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On Enforcement Proceedings”. Arrest sanctions can be imposed on the following types of accounts:
Bailiffs the right to impose restrictions on any accounts of the debtor, whether it is a payroll account, social accruals, incoming savings, etc.
Withdrawal methods
How to remove the arrest imposed by bailiffs in Sberbank?
If you know why the Sberbank Account was arrested and there is no doubt that the bailiffs were wrong, then first of all repay existing debt if possible.
Immediately after this, the bailiff will be required to submit a written form to the bank. account unlock request. And the very next day there will be an opportunity to freely manage finances.
But if there are not enough financial resources, you will have to put up with writing off half of the proceeds to the account until the moment when all the debt is fully repaid and the account is unlocked.
In controversial situations, when it is not known why the account was suddenly frozen and there are suspicions of the illegality of such actions, as well as infringement of rights, it is necessary to resort to the help of the court.
The first step to action will be the collection of documents. Before you go to courtnecessary:
- Find out the full name of the bailiff who froze the account, as well as the date of receipt of the written order in the bank. This information can be obtained from Sberbank employees.
- Take a copy of the decision on the seizure of accounts, as well as a copy of the decision to launch executive office work.
- Submit papers showing the purpose of the accounts - social, salary, etc.
- Provide a certificate of credits and receipts to the account (it must be taken from the bank upon request).
After the required official papers are collected, it is advisable to file a complaint against the bailiffillegally arresting bills.
Within 10 working days, the court must give an answer. If the answer is no, there is a right to appeal to higher authorities for subsequent proceedings.
Illegal Arrest Sanctions
In the case when the reason for the blocking of accounts is completely incomprehensible, and the bank refuses to give out at least any intelligible information, it is necessary to act in this way:
- Find out which authority established the decision on the arrest sanctions. The bank is obliged to provide this information, but it can also be displayed independently on the official website of the Federal Service of Official Bailiffs by entering their data.
- Get information about the date and number of the decision, the full name of the executor (the bank is again obliged to provide such information at the request of the client).
- Visit the authority that committed the seizure of the account and contact the sanctions officer directly or the person conducting the case. Only they have the right to give complete information on the resulting situation.
In cases such as debiting the full amount from the account, the debtor has the right to declare this in writing with a request to write off not more than 50% of salary accruals, accompanying this with income certificate 2-NDFL.
Sometimes a credit account or an account gets under arrest to which child benefits come.
It is illegal. Then you should as soon as possible find out the data of the executive person, information about the paperwork and approve in writing the request to cancel the account lock.
Arrest should be canceled as soon as possible. If this does not happen, you must contact the judiciary.
Almost always, the seizure of Sberbank customer accounts occurs at the initiative of bailiffs, and not the bank itself. A financial institution acts only as an intermediary: an order has come to freeze an account of a particular client - the bank has fulfilled this.
In most cases, the arrest is carried out for good reason and reason - various debts for, alimony, etc. The most optimal way out of this unpleasant situation is to cover the debt immediately completely, or as soon as possible.
If the arrest was made by mistake, illegally or with unlawful actions by authorized persons, it is necessary first try to resolve everything peacefully, turning directly to the bailiff, who froze the account.
And only if all the usual ways to solve the problem have been exhausted, but there is no result, you need to resort to the defense of the court.
