Challenging a notarial enforcement inscription in Lviv
Are funds in Lviv being collected under a notarial inscription with an unclear debt basis or amount? We obtain and review the relevant documents, reconcile payments and distinguish the challenge from any recovery of money already collected.

When to seek help
- Funds have already been collected, and a separate repayment claim needs to be assessed.
- The creditor’s calculation omits payments or includes disputed charges.
- The supporting documents and rules in force when the inscription was made need review.
How we can help
- Review the inscription and agreement
- Check the date, claim type, whether the debt was undisputed and the documents required for the inscription under the applicable rules.
- Develop the claim and protective measures
- Develop the claim’s grounds and assess whether separate measures concerning collection are needed.
- Assess grounds for repayment
- Reconcile statements and enforcement records and assess grounds for repayment.
How we get started
Obtain the basis
Collect the inscription, agreement, orders and creditor’s calculation.
Assess the grounds
Review the claim and procedure against the relevant dates and circumstances.
Prepare the documents
Agree the claim, any necessary applications and further enforcement steps.
What to prepare
- A copy or details of the inscription and the enforcement orders.
- The agreement, creditor’s demands, calculation and proof of your payments.
- Statements showing deductions and evidence of when documents were received.
The scope, cost and terms of further assistance are agreed after reviewing the matter.
When an inscription concerns debt already repaid
The educational example compares full loan repayment with a later notarial inscription. It does not assume that every inscription is unlawful.
When this applies
Narrow historical scenario
The inscription dates from 2021; first documented knowledge is in 2026. There is no current enforcement or demand to refund collected money.
Applicable rules and facts matter
Check the historical inscription rules, full receipt, first knowledge and creditor as defendant. Different facts require a different document.
The fictional Kyiv scenario using a real court remains a Kyiv example on the Lviv site. Filing does not automatically suspend recovery or lift a freeze on assets.
Claim concerning a repaid loan
The inscription guide contains the full Ukrainian example and blank; this section explains evidence and selection limits.

| Fact | Evidence | What remains to check |
|---|---|---|
| Full performance before inscription | Creditor receipt, not just a payment instruction | Whether payment discharges this debt |
| What the inscription says | Full inscription, agreement and recovery amount | Other components or a new creditor |
| When it became known | First received document and delivery | Late knowledge needs evidence, not assertion |
Keep originals and delivery evidence. An example description does not replace the actual document.
Choose the next step
Use the document received and the stage of the matter.
The inscription itself is disputed
Compare its basis, date and repayment.
Review the inscriptionThe bank reports an account freeze
First identify the order and current proceeding.
Identify the source of the account freezeA specific executor act is disputed
This is a separate subject; the civil access example does not cover every enforcement source.
Distinguish the complaint subject
Need your situation checked?
We can compare the inscription, repayment evidence and historical dates to assess which remedies need preparation.
Frequently asked questions
Is a complaint against the enforcement officer enough?
A claim to declare the inscription unenforceable is brought against the proper creditor, identified from the documents. A complaint about the enforcement officer’s conduct does not replace that claim.
Does filing a claim stop collection?
No. Staying collection under the challenged inscription requires separate assessment of an application for interim relief. The court decides it on the grounds and evidence presented; filing the claim alone does not stop collection.
Will collected funds be refunded automatically after a judgment?
Do not assume an automatic refund. The recipient, amounts and legal basis for a separate claim or other procedure need to be established.
What affects the cost and preparation time?
Cost and preparation time depend on access to the inscription, contract and creditor’s calculation, and the history of amounts collected. A claim, a separate application to suspend collection and a repayment demand involve different scopes; drafting a claim does not itself suspend enforcement.
