History

2022: FSSP blocks penalties in favor of the company according to counter sanctions of the Russian Federation against unfriendly countries

March 23, 2022 it became known that the Bailiff Service began to "freeze any penalty" in favor of banks and collection agencies with foreign roots.

The FSSP perceives such organizations as non-residents and is guided by Russia's response to Western sanctions against the backdrop of Russia's special operation in Ukraine. The documents indicate that the transfer of money to companies "that are non-residents" should be suspended until "special indication." There is also a list of companies and banks that should not receive collected debts.

The lists included subsidiaries of foreign banks (Raiffeisen Bank, Rosbank and Unicredit Bank), as well as the largest collection agencies operating in Russia - EOS (a subsidiary of the German EOS Group), First Collection Bureau (controlled by Baring Vostok), ID Collect (part of the group IDF, EAsia). Finance "(part of the MBA Consult group) and" Phoenix "(controlled by the TCS Group).

One of the interlocutors of RBC noted that payments do not pass selectively, from some district departments of the FSSP. According to him, the territorial divisions of the FSSP technically comply with the decisions of the courts on recovery, but the money is not transferred to the collectors, but accumulated in the treasury accounts of the service.
