How to check the car for the prohibition of registration actions? In the traffic police

Buying a used car is in many cases a very risky undertaking. We have many times on our website Vodi.su considered questions on the topic of fraud in the sale of used cars. In this article, I would like to consider the issue of checking cars for a ban on registration actions:

• why a ban might be imposed;
• what are the ways to check the legal purity of the vehicle;
• how to remove restrictions and arrest from a car.

It is also worth noting that each case is unique in nature, but we can only give general recommendations. And in each specific situation, you need to contact a car lawyer.

Reasons for imposing bans on reg. actions

By imposing bans, various state structures are trying to influence violators of the law, debtors to banks or those who refuse to pay alimony, and so on.

Thus, the encumbrance can be imposed on the car by the following services and for the following reasons:

• Federal Bailiff Service: non-payers of traffic police fines, non-payers of taxes, alimony, as well as for non-payment of car loans;
• The courts may impose an encumbrance if there is a division of property during the divorce proceedings and the further ownership of the car has not yet been resolved;
• Services of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the traffic police - the car is in the database of stolen and wanted vehicles;
• Customs - the vehicle entered the territory of the Russian Federation with violations of the customs clearance procedure, the necessary fees were not paid.

The very procedure for imposing a ban on registration actions is carried out on the basis of a decision from one or another state authority, which is sent to the traffic police. As a result, the vehicle is included in the general database of "problem" cars. The situation is aggravated by the fact that many dishonest citizens want to shift their problems onto other people. The registration ban applies to the following transactions:

• sale/purchase;
• transfer of the vehicle to another person as a gift;
• travel outside the Russian Federation, re-registration in another subject of the Russian Federation (formally, this rule has been canceled).

If you encounter such troubles in practice, there is a big risk that you will lose both your car and money, so you need to act promptly and in full accordance with the law.

Ways to check the legal purity of a car

We also repeatedly considered this issue on Vodi.su. Now, in the most concentrated form, we will try to lay out the most important information.

There are several ways to check. First of all, you can apply with a personal statement to the authority from which the decision to impose a ban came. The bailiffs must contain all the information on this vehicle. It is clear that such an appeal occurs after the fact, that is, after you are “delighted” that the car cannot be registered with the traffic police or require payment of accumulated delinquency on loans or fines.

To avoid such a variant of events, we recommend using all available verification methods at the time of drawing up the sales contract:

• on the official website of the State traffic inspectorate for quite a long time there is a service for checking cars by VIN code, registration numbers, series and number of PTS, STS or VU;
• apply personally to the traffic police before concluding a deal, so that the car is checked against all existing databases;
• drawing up a contract of sale with a notary who can check the legal purity of the car.

If the car was brought from abroad, there is a big risk that it is on the international wanted list. In this case, you must contact the customs office of your city with a request, as well as carefully study all the documents that the seller presents to you. In addition, there are online services in the EU or the US where you can check the car by VIN code. Such a service will cost about $ 5-20, but you can trace the entire history of the car: date of issue, possible accidents, maintenance, etc.

Pay attention to this point: the arrest of the vehicle is more difficult than the ban. Cars can be arrested, for example, to cover the debts of persistent tax evaders or bankrupt organizations. Accordingly, the seizure is imposed for the purpose of selling property at auction to cover debts.

Ban removal methods

The easiest way is to return the debts to the bank on your own. It is clear that few people will like this prospect. The only thing left is to decide the issue through the court. As we already wrote on our website, the law is on the side of the deceived party (Article 352 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). At the same time, you should prove that you were really a deceived buyer, for this you need to confirm the fact that you used all the above methods of checking the vehicle for legal purity.

A ban can only be canceled by the authority that imposed it. Again, this is a very complex process that will take a lot of effort and money. In addition, you will not be reimbursed for your costs of litigation. The only way out is to sue the seller. But based on the fact that such scammers can be very difficult to find, you can not do without the involvement of the police.

To avoid such problems in the future, you can give simple tips:

• carefully check the documents;
• check the numbers of the chassis and units;
• do not buy a car with a missing title or its duplicate;
• use the verification methods available to you.

Today, they can cheat everywhere, even in well-advertised car dealerships, so you always need to be on the alert.
