Loan Court passed without me - what to do?

Thus, the trial of the loan passed without your participation. Most likely, of the decision, you will learn in a few months, when you will be contacted by the bailiff to demand money. Is it possible to reverse the decision if the court has passed without you? Yes, the law provides such an opportunity, but in contrast to the usual judicial process requires more complex steps, and you will have virtually no margin for error. If you properly prepare a document or file a they are not in the instance, or skip designated law terms - to rectify the situation after that even an expert can not.

In order not to miss this opportunity, the best solution - immediately contact the credit lawyer. Believe me, at this point really requires the involvement of a professional who is familiar not only with the letter of the law, but also established practice in your area. At a minimum, you need to consult a lawyer on the phone, but it is better to come to a personal welcome. If for some reason you decide to act on its own, you need to perform these steps.


01. The first thing to learn from the bailiff's name and address of the court, which deals with your business, as well as the number of the case. If the court about the last you have learned from another source (for example, you were sent by mail solution), it is necessary to find out the same information - the name of the court and the case number.

02. Then you need to come to court and ask for the case file for review; better pre-call to the office, to clarify the visiting hours and other details. Having received the case, you need to take pictures of all his sheets, so you can study them at home in a relaxed atmosphere (or later pass a lawyer).

03. In studying the case materials necessary to pay attention to the name of the final document of the trial - "default judgment" or simply a "solution". The judge may use any of the two procedures, and if you're not a lawyer, then the difference can only be set on the title of the document. Depending on whether there is the word "correspondence" in the title of this document, you will need to take a completely different steps.

04. If the decision is referred to as "correspondence", then you need to apply to the Court of First Instance an application for default judgment set aside. This statement should not just ask for the cancellation, but also list specific reasons why you do not agree with the decision. If the court satisfies this statement to begin a second trial on the loan, but with your participation.

05. If the word "correspondence" in the original decision is no, then you need to use another procedure - appellate review. In this case, you have to apply to a higher level - the Court of Appeal. An appeal will only take one meeting, and immediately makes a determination - to leave the previous decision in force, or reduce the amount of payment.

It should be understood that at each step there are many nuances and to understand all the details can only be a professional lawyer. For example, if missed deadline of a document, in some cases this problem is fatal, and in others - missed deadline can without difficulty to recover. In order to properly prepare the documents, in addition to the letter of the law is necessary to know the current practice.

Many nuances are different in different regions of Russia, so it is important not to rely on general recommendations on the internet and talk to a lawyer practicing in your city. Specialized professionals can provide information not only about the peculiarities of the region as a whole, but even of each district court. If you are in Moscow or the Moscow region, you can ask us for telephone advice, but the most effective option - it is, of course, come to the personal reception of a credit lawyer.

How to win the court on the loan from the bank

First of all it is necessary to explain what is meant by "win" or "lose" Court of overdue loans. If you took out a loan, but had not paid it in accordance with the terms of the contract, the court will confirm the almost inevitable that you owe the bank a certain amount. Exceptions to this rule are extremely rare (for example, when the statute of limitations has passed on the loan), and for them it is better not to hope. The difference between the "win" and "lose" is what it will indicate the amount of the judge in his decision.

As a general rule, until the case comes before the court decision, the bank has time to count the borrower astronomical interest and penalties for violation of payment schedule. Sometimes the interest and penalties for late several times higher than the full amount of the loan issued by the bank initially. If your hand is not competent objection, it is likely that the full amount together with interest and penalties the court will record in its decision. If you bring a credit lawyer who will prepare the necessary documents and protect your interests in court proceedings, the total amount in the judge's decision may be reduced by several times.


Credit lawyer can quickly evaluate the prospects of your business and give concrete estimates on how much you can claim to reduce the bank's requirements. You can call our experts right now and get a brief consultation by phone. However, for a more detailed analysis, we recommend you to come to a personal welcome, taking with him all the available documents (loan agreement, payment schedule, bank statement, etc.) Believe me, if the issue of credit came to the court, without the help of a specialist you do not manage, and attorney's fees will pay for themselves several times.

What happens to the debtor after the court decision on the loan

Thus, the court ruled that you have to pay the bank a certain amount of money. Is it possible to challenge the court's decision on a loan or avoid its implementation? Unfortunately, at this point, room for maneuver is already almost gone. Technically, you can appeal, but, in practice, it will not change anything and the decision of the "first" of the court will remain in force. The appeal is only useful if for some reason you want to legally buy time (so you can win up to two months). In addition, through the court, you can get a small installments - usually 3-4 months, not more.

Gain time should be used to collect the necessary sum or at least part of it. If you have no money, but there is a car, appliances or electronics, it is best to sell them independently. Otherwise, they will still be seized by bailiffs and sold - but much cheaper. After the court's decision on non-payment of a loan made, we do not recommend you to "rewrite" the apartment, machinery and other property to relatives and friends. Firstly, such transactions may be challenged, and secondly, you can be charged in the criminal - fraud.


If you can not pay the full amount even after the sale of the property, prepare for new challenges. Most likely, the bailiff service "will communicate" with your employer. As a result, a portion of your salary will be withheld and transferred to the account of your obligations. In addition to financial troubles this will inevitably create difficulties in relations with colleagues and management. In other words, if the court ruled against you, you will face serious problems, and correct the situation will no longer be. To avoid this, you need to seek professional help immediately, as soon as you hear about the court with the bank.

How are hearings in the case of credit

The court with the bank loan (as any other civil court) takes place in two stages: first a preliminary hearing, then the main. In this case in the main proceedings can take place several court sessions. More specifically, the meeting can be transported, if not complied with all the conditions for starting the process. Thus, you or your lawyer will need the credit to go to the court 3-4 times or more. The duration of each session depends on many factors and can vary over a very wide range - from 10-20 minutes to several hours.

So, the first meeting with the judge at the preliminary hearing takes place. Date and time of the beginning of the meeting shall be specified in the summons received by you; the date and time can be specified on the website of the court. Basically, on a preliminary hearing on credit cases can come "empty-handed", without any pre-prepared documents. Afraid of a preliminary hearing is not necessary because there are no major decisions are not taken. In fact, a simple man (not a lawyer) from the preliminary hearing may make only one - on what day and time will be assigned to the main hearing.


The main hearing is significantly different from the pre-both from a legal and from a worldly point of view. Firstly, you can not come "empty-handed", this step is required to prepare an objection to the claim of the bank requirements. Simply put, you have to write legal language, why the bank is wrong, and what you want from the judge. Yet, as a rule, you need to make a detailed table with your version of the calculation of the remaining debt, which corresponds to the law, and you are willing to pay. If for some reason you have not prepared such documents (or prepared them wrong), you can assume that the court lost.

Second, in the main court hearing on the non-payment of the loan you will have to answer "tricky" questions of lawyers of the bank and possibly judge. It is important to remember that into account when it will be accepted only the answers are based on the letter of the law, but not on domestic considerations. Stories about the hard life situation, not supported by legal arguments, often cause a negative reaction on the part of the judge. If a person is trying to soften every day for many years - believe me, sooner or later it starts to irritate him.

Third, the result of the main proceedings is a final decision, binding on all parties. In other words, after a few sessions judge says that a citizen Ivanov to pay the bank "Hrenobank" one million rubles (or three million, if a citizen Ivanov failed to properly protect their interests). And if the debtor does not comply with this decision voluntarily, the money will have to beat the bailiffs. Unlike banks and collectors, bailiffs have have all the necessary tools to not only ruin your life, but at the same time and get the full amount specified in the court decision.

Remember that the court's decision depends entirely on how well the documents will be available on your part and as a clear case you (or your lawyer) will pick up during the meeting. If you do not have legal training, we strongly recommend that you do not even try to do it all on their own. Against you perform specialized bank lawyers who every day are judged in such cases and can easily "knock down" your reference to the credit agreement and the laws. If you do not agree with the bank's requirements, and really want to challenge them, you will inevitably need to contact a lawyer for help in the court of the loan.

The criminal case on the accident. What possible punishment and where to go for help?

The criminal case on the accident - perhaps one of the most difficult types of legal practice. The driver who has violated the rules of the road and caused harm to the health of another person, and witnesses of the incident are often diverge in the testimony, and they do not always do it on purpose.

Blame can be a normal shock, which, however, very difficult to parse circumstances. The situation is complicated when it is clear that an accident may result in criminal liability. There has anyone got nervous!

Judicial practice in cases of accidents

Perhaps jurisprudence in cases of accidents with consequences of varying severity could not be so rich, if pedestrians and drivers to mutually respect each other. But sometimes you can not avoid hitting not out of malice, but for technical reasons.


The driver, who was responsible for a traffic accident, can expect a few types of liability:

Administrative: if the driver violated traffic rules, or if the vehicle had a fault which led to the accident. For this, you can lose the rights, pay a fine, or fall under administrative arrest for up to 15 days (in the cases provided for in Article 12.27 of the Administrative Code).

Civil: If damage (eg damaged car). In this case, the damage will have to repay.

Criminal: if the damage was caused to people (pedestrians, other drivers, passengers).

However, if the victim has suffered slight damage, then the driver has administrative responsibility. The severity of the injury is determined by an expert during the examination or special investigation.

Criminal liability when an accident occurs in the following cases (Article 264 of the Criminal Code):

Part 1: If the fault of the driver's person was seriously injured, the perpetrator shall be punished by restriction of freedom for up to 3 years or imprisonment for up to 6 months, or - imprisonment for up to 2 years, with deprivation of rights under 3 years. However, the rights can not be collected in this case.

Part 2: If the offender was intoxicated and negligently caused grave damage to human health, he shall be punished by imprisonment and the right to operate a vehicle for up to 3 years.

Part 3: If the victim died, the driver will be imprisonment for up to 5 years and the prohibition to operate a vehicle for up to 3 years.

Part 4: if the perpetrator was in a state of intoxication, which entailed by negligence the death of a person, he will get up to 7 years and deprivation of the rights to three years.

Part 5: if the accident resulted in the death of 2 or more persons, the driver can go to jail for up to 7 years and lose the right to operate a vehicle for up to 3 years.

Part 6: If the driver in this case was under the influence of alcohol, then he faces up to 9 years, with disqualification to three years.

In each case, the Court considers the evidence provided and determine the circumstances of the incident and to decide whether or not to satisfy the claim and what legal standard should apply. However, clarification of all circumstances of the case could drag on for a long time, so that there can be very useful assistance of an experienced attorney.

Help a criminal defense lawyer in an accident

The more experience the lawyer in criminal cases is on the accident, the better he will be able to protect your rights. However, even generalists much better than hope for your own luck. He knows the minimum that need and the accused and the victim in the first place: what you need to say, and that - no. Sometimes this is already enough to party a criminal case on the accident are not aggravated their situation.

Of course, we understand that in our country a legal culture is much less developed than in the West, where the man throws himself calls "his" lawyer in the most unimaginable situations. So we do not expect that, got in an accident, people immediately find in my notebook the number. However, a criminal lawyer accident may be involved in the process at any stage, whether it is:

    decision to open a criminal case at the very beginning of the investigation;
    peer reviews;
    investigations;
    hearing.

A hundred times wrong the driver who decides to defend himself. Before you give up a lawyer, say, did you know that, by law, a pedestrian generally can not be found guilty of an accident? But the guilty, in the end, there must exist. And how do you think, who they will be? Judicial practice in cases of accidents faced with such situations more than once, and without the help of an experienced lawyer who is rarely able to prove that a collision with a pedestrian could occur, for example due to a technical fault. Of course, in any case, a lawyer will be appointed to the accused, however, whether the culprit be sure that he is in any way interested public defender?

However, not only negligent driver may need legal assistance in a criminal case. The victim is also sometimes difficult to defend their rights. In addition, if you are not satisfied with the decision made by the court, the lawyer will make a statement of claim in the Court of Appeal to appeal, collect all the necessary documents, as well as provide assistance in the organization of various types of expertise.

Needless to say - criminal investigation of accidents are specific and can be very complex. To achieve an equitable solution can be very difficult, so it is important to time apply for legal aid.
