For violation of applicable law, a citizen can be held liable in a fine. This is the most common method of dealing with negligent citizens and companies. What happens if the penalty is not paid on time? The answer to a similar question we have to find out further. This information is useful to everyone - both ordinary citizens, and organizations, and entrepreneurs. As practice shows, the greater the debt, the more serious the consequences of the resulting delay.
Main measure
Failure to pay an administrative fine on time is a fairly common violation. It does not entail criminal liability, but serious consequences will appear in the life of the non-payer.
Typically, 60 days from the day the relevant resolution takes effect are allotted to pay the fine. On day 61, late payment begins. What can she turn into?
Mandatory failure to pay a fine on time entails the accrual of interest. This "additional payment" is increasing every day. This means that the longer a person does not pay, the more ultimately he will have to give the state to the treasury.
Important: a penalty can be avoided only by timely payment of the penalty charge.
Handing over the case to the bailiffs
Failure to pay an administrative fine within the prescribed period entails a number of additional sanctions applicable to the non-payer. In addition to penalties, the relevant case may be referred to the bailiffs. And already they will punish the debtor.
Today, for failure to pay the fine on time, it can be transferred to the bailiffs, starting with a debt of more than 3 thousand rubles. In practice, most often the FSSP of the Russian Federation intervenes with a significant delay and debt of about ten thousand.
Have a property? They can pick it up!
What else to expect from the current situation? At the moment, an inattentive citizen can expect very serious consequences from the resulting debts. And not necessarily for alimony or taxes, including pecuniary damages.
Failure to pay the fine within the prescribed period does not exclude the seizure of property of the debtor. It is usually used by bailiffs.
Moreover, if the amount payable as a fine is very large, the property of the non-payer can not only be arrested, but also sold. The proceeds should be used to pay off the debt.
What do they do with the balance of funds, if any, after closing the fine and debts on it? They are given to the negligent defaulter, because it was his property that was sold in a forced manner.
If you use a credit card
But this is far from all the measures applied to debtors. And not necessarily for fines, but also for other payments. The most unfavorable is the situation in which the relevant case is referred to the bailiffs. They, as already mentioned, can apply special measures of influence on debtors.
Today, almost every adult uses a bank card. For the presence of debt for fines, taxes and other payments, bailiffs can block it.
This will lead to the fact that a citizen will not be able to pay with bank plastic. For some, such a measure of struggle is critical, especially if a person receives a salary on the card.
Banking
Failure to pay an administrative fine on time entails the accrual of interest, as well as in some cases the transfer of the case to the bailiffs of the Russian Federation. This service is very successfully struggling with debtors using existing leverage.
In addition to blocking bank cards, another rule will be applied to the debtor. It is about blocking all bank accounts opened in his name. Accordingly, neither a person can withdraw nor replenish them.
Problems for travel enthusiasts
The FSSP of the Russian Federation is a service that can influence citizens in various ways in order to collect debts. And not everyone knows what to expect in a particular case.
Failure to pay the fine on time with the transfer of the relevant case to the bailiffs is a reason for imposing a ban on traveling outside the country. The debtor acquires the status of travel abroad until he repays all debts he has.
True, such a measure does not scare everyone. It is “scary” only for travelers and people who often travel abroad on business trips or for service. The imposition of such a restriction on those who prefer to remain within Russia will not be significantly affected.
About burning accruals
Now it’s clear what the consequences may be of unpaid fines and other payments. These rules are valid in Russia today. And everyone needs to remember about them.
Penalties tend to burn, but not always. If the debt case is not transferred to the bailiffs, the penalty charge will burn 2 years after its appointment. This means that it will be possible for the citizen not to pay for the violation at all.
If, on a fine, clerical work is started and bailiffs are involved in debt collection, the corresponding charge will always apply. In the event of the death of the debtor, it will be inherited along with other obligations and property.
If there are not enough funds
Unfortunately, life has always been unpredictable. And this leaves its mark on the current legislation.
Failure to pay the fine by the due date entails many negative consequences. Only it can happen due to lack of money from the payer. In such circumstances, it is recommended to contact the authorized body (the one that brought to justice) with a statement of deferred or installment payment.
The first is provided for 1 month, the second - for a maximum of three. Most often, citizens ask them through the courts. True, the lack of funds will have to be documented. For example, sick leave or bank statements indicating a delay in salary.
Important: for no reason, deferred payment or installment payment is not provided. They are indicative.
How to check debt
We found out what an overdue fine might turn into. As you can see, there are a lot of options for the development of events. And the citizen must prepare for all sanctions.
Most often, failure to pay a fine on time is due to ignorance. People simply don’t know that they owe debt. Therefore, they must be checked in a timely manner.
At the moment, verification of fines and debts on them can be carried out through:
- authorized organizations;
- State Services website;
- payment service "Payment of State services" (tab "Traffic fines");
- official web portal from the traffic police of the Russian Federation;
- site of bailiffs of Russia;
- a variety of electronic wallets.
Citizens can also search for debts and fines on third-party websites. This technique is not reliable, so it is not in demand. You can use it according to the same principles as the official means of checking penalties.
Check with the bailiffs
Failure to pay an administrative fine on time entails a number of additional sanctions applicable to the debtor. In order to prevent delays, it is necessary to check debts in a timely manner.
It is worth paying attention to working with the bailiff site. Here, the information appears after the fines have opened office work. Up to this point, a search in this way will not yield any results.
To check for debt with a fine or other payment, you will need:
- Visit the site of the FSSP of the Russian Federation.
- Open the section “Services” - “Bank for Executive Record Keeping”.
- Mark the category to which the person being verified belongs.
- Indicate the name of the potential debtor, the date and place of his birth. You can simply register the number of the writ of execution.
- Click the button responsible for starting the database scan.
If there are debts, they will be displayed on the screen in the form of a special table. Otherwise, the user will see a message stating that information on the request was not found.
To check fines and debts on them with other services, you need to look for the sections “Checking fines”. After that, indicate either the TS / STS / VU number or the TIN of the citizen.
