How to check enforcement proceedings

When you need this

This guide is for you if you have seen an account at­tach­ment, re­ceived an en­force­ment officer’s order, found your name in the Debtors Reg­is­ter, or want to check whether a de­ci­sion has ac­tu­al­ly been sent for en­force­ment. Check­ing the pro­ceed­ings helps iden­ti­fy the officer, the doc­u­ment being en­forced, and any re­main­ing dead­line you can use to protect your rights.

A common sit­u­a­tion in Lviv is that the debtor learns about pro­ceed­ings after an account re­stric­tion or a notice from the bank. The bank usually only carries out the order, so you need to obtain the doc­u­ments from the en­force­ment officer and un­der­stand what to chal­lenge.

To un­der­stand the pro­ceed­ings, compare the cred­i­tor, de­ci­sion details and oblig­a­tion in the opening order and en­force­ment doc­u­ment. Sep­a­rate­ly ask the en­force­ment officer for the amount still payable and its break­down.

Which deadline or procedure applies

There is no single pro­ce­dur­al dead­line for search­ing for pro­ceed­ings, but the actions that follow are often time-sen­si­tive. A court com­plaint under the Civil Pro­ce­dure Code may have a 10-day dead­line, or a 3-day dead­line for an order post­pon­ing en­force­ment actions. The Law on En­force­ment Pro­ceed­ings sets 10 or 3 working days for its pro­ce­dure. If the issue con­cerns a court order, check the dead­line to set it aside. If pro­ceed­ings were opened on the basis of a no­tar­i­al writ of ex­e­cu­tion, a dif­fer­ent route applies.

For an initial check, use of­fi­cial sources: ASVP, the Unified Reg­is­ter of Debtors, en­force­ment officer orders, and doc­u­ments in the pro­ceed­ing. If you already know the date of the vi­o­la­tion, sep­a­rate­ly check the dead­line for a com­plaint against an en­force­ment officer.

What to do step by step

First gather any avail­able details: the pro­ceed­ing number, order number, the officer’s name or entity, the State En­force­ment Service de­part­ment or private en­force­ment officer, the debt amount, and the date of the at­tach­ment or bank notice. If you have only a bank notice, request the details of the order on which the account block is based.

Next, check of­fi­cial ser­vices. ASVP may help locate the pro­ceed­ing, and the Unified Reg­is­ter of Debtors may show an entry for the debtor. Save the in­for­ma­tion, but an ap­pli­ca­tion or com­plaint re­quires pro­ce­dur­al doc­u­ments: the order opening pro­ceed­ings, the at­tach­ment order, and the en­force­ment doc­u­ment. If the State En­force­ment Service sep­a­rate­ly charged 10%, check how to review an en­force­ment fee order, in­clud­ing the cal­cu­la­tion base, ex­cep­tions, and filing history.

Since 24.10.2026, a party ac­cess­es ASVP ma­te­ri­als through the elec­tron­ic cabinet: open the party cabinet on the of­fi­cial website, enter the pro­ceed­ing reg­is­tra­tion number and com­plete elec­tron­ic iden­ti­fi­ca­tion. NAIS ex­plains in its 28.10.2026 notice that a qual­i­fied elec­tron­ic sig­na­ture or an ad­vanced elec­tron­ic sig­na­ture based on a qual­i­fied cer­tifi­cate is re­quired. A company rep­re­sen­ta­tive’s cer­tifi­cate must es­tab­lish their con­nec­tion with that entity, in­clud­ing its name and EDRPOU code. The former access iden­ti­fi­er no longer opens the ma­te­ri­als. Finding a debtor entry in a reg­is­ter does not replace party iden­ti­fi­ca­tion or ob­tain­ing the doc­u­ments needed; if you cannot sign in, contact the en­force­ment officer about in­spec­tion and copies.

If an em­ploy­er in Lviv or the region is already making de­duc­tions, use the guide to check­ing salary de­duc­tions to compare the limit for one payment with the pay state­ment and the en­force­ment doc­u­ment.

Then iden­ti­fy the un­der­ly­ing doc­u­ment. It may be a court de­ci­sion, court order, no­tar­i­al writ of ex­e­cu­tion, an au­thor­i­ty’s ruling in a fine case, or another doc­u­ment. If the basis is ques­tion­able, a com­plaint against the en­force­ment officer may not solve the problem. For example, you may need an ap­pli­ca­tion to set aside a court order, while a no­tar­i­al writ may require a claim asking the court to declare it un­en­force­able.

The final step is to choose an action. If the officer made an error in the amount, account, or address, or does not con­sid­er your ap­pli­ca­tion, con­sid­er a com­plaint. If the debt has been paid, prepare an ap­pli­ca­tion with proof of payment. If the at­tach­ment con­cerns funds with a special status, provide doc­u­ments showing their source.

If you need to regain access to funds after ob­tain­ing the file, use the sep­a­rate guide to account at­tach­ment and release. It dis­tin­guish­es proof of payment from no­ti­fi­ca­tion to the bank and check­ing other at­tach­ments. This page remains a route for lo­cat­ing the pro­ceed­ing and the un­der­ly­ing en­force­ment doc­u­ment.

What to check before filing

Make sure you have ev­i­dence of when you learned of the vi­o­la­tion. This might be a bank notice, the date you ac­cessed the elec­tron­ic cabinet, a letter, an order, or a re­sponse from the en­force­ment officer. This date often de­ter­mines the com­plaint dead­line.

Also check whether there is more than one pro­ceed­ing. A debtor may have dif­fer­ent cred­i­tors, doc­u­ments, and en­force­ment of­fi­cers. A com­plaint or ap­pli­ca­tion must concern a spe­cif­ic pro­ceed­ing, or it may produce no prac­ti­cal result.

When to consult a lawyer

A lawyer can help if the at­tach­ment blocks a salary or social-benefit account, the en­force­ment officer will not provide doc­u­ments, the debt is old, the un­der­ly­ing doc­u­ment is unclear, or the com­plaint dead­line is close. Without a proper as­sess­ment, you may chal­lenge the wrong doc­u­ment and lose time.

For Lviv matters, an en­force­ment con­sul­ta­tion can quickly sep­a­rate three dif­fer­ent tasks: ob­tain­ing the pro­ceed­ing doc­u­ments, chal­leng­ing the en­force­ment officer’s action, or chal­leng­ing the doc­u­ment that started the re­cov­ery.
