One of the ways to ensure proper fulfillment of obligations is pledge. It arises in accordance with the contract and on the basis of the law. In case of violation of the obligations accepted by the debtor, the creditor may file a claim for foreclosure on the mortgaged property. However, this option is considered a last resort. It is used when extrajudicial collection of mortgaged property has not yielded results.
Contract
If the debtor does not fulfill its obligations, the pledge holder has the right to satisfy his claims from the value of the pledged property. Corresponding legal relations arise at the conclusion of the contract. Under the terms of the agreement, the subject of the pledge remains with the creditor or is transferred to him. The subjects are the owner of the object and the lender. The last can be any person. A pledge agreement must be concluded in writing. Otherwise, it will be considered invalid. If the object is real estate, then the agreement is certified by a notary. A mortgage agreement is also considered collateral. In accordance with Art. 339 GK agreement of this type is subject to state registration.
Transaction subject
According to Art. 336 GK as it can be any property. If the subject of the transaction is any thing, then it must be individually defined. If this is a right, then it must be described in detail. Property is not subject to pledge:
- Limited in circulation or withdrawn from it.
- To which the penalty under Art. 446 Code of Civil Procedure can not handle.
Rights that are not subject to assignment are not subject to pledge, as well as claims directly related to the identity of the creditor. The latter, in particular, include compensation for harm, alimony debts, etc.
Additional terms of the contract

The contractual conditions describe the essence of the obligation, which is provided by the property. In particular, the agreement establishes that the object remains with the debtor, and he continues to dispose of it and use it. However, the powers of the owner are limited in the interests of the creditor.
Compliance with breach of contract

The lender will be able to recover the mortgaged object in case of non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of contractual conditions. In essence, this procedure acts as a withdrawal of a part or the full value of an item to pay off a debt. The implementation of the pledged material assets is carried out by sale at public auction.

Collection of mortgaged property: judicial practice
The value of the object at the first auction is established by the authorized authority for the consideration of the dispute. If it is not sold for the first time, prices are subsequently determined by the parties. Bidding is held on the basis of an auction. The objects for sale go to the highest bidder. If the amount received during the sale from the auction is small to cover the debt, the missing funds are withdrawn from other material assets of the debtor. At the same time, the lender cannot use the pre-emptive right based on a mortgage. If the amount exceeds the principal, the difference is returned to the debtor. If the bidding did not take place, the parties may sign a contract of sale.The purchase value includes requirements in respect of which a foreclosure was made on the mortgaged property. Judicial practice recognizes the auction as failed if:
- There were less than two buyers.

If repeated tenders have not taken place, the mortgagee may reserve the property (acquire it), but its price will be 10% less than the initial one. If the subject has not used this right for a month, the contract (dispute) ceases to exist. The debtor has the right at any time to terminate the foreclosure on the mortgaged property, having fulfilled the obligation. Agreements that in any way limit this opportunity are null and void.
