How to Challenge a Notary's Executive Inscription in Ukraine — A Guide for Kyiv Residents

What Is a Notary's Executive Inscription?

The blocking of bank accounts and sudden withdrawal of funds is an unpleasant surprise that many Ukrainians face today. Most often, the reason is an executive inscription initiated by a bank or a microfinance organization (MFI). In a panic, people begin to search the Internet for how to challenge a notary's executive inscription and whether it is possible to quickly regain access to their money.

Let's break down the algorithm of actions for residents of Kyiv and the region.

An executive inscription is a special order by a notary to collect a certain amount of money or property from a debtor in favor of a creditor. The problem is that in recent years, MFIs often issue such inscriptions on loan agreements that were not notarized, which is a direct violation of the law.

How to Cancel an Executive Inscription?

It is important to understand: no other notary can simply "cancel" the executive inscription of their colleague. The only legal way is to go to court.

Algorithm for challenging: 1) Find out the details — go to the "Diia" app or the Unified Register of Debtors to find out exactly which private executor blocked your accounts and on the basis of whose inscription. 2) Get copies — contact this executor (in Kyiv or at your place of registration) with an application to review the materials of the enforcement proceedings. 3) Go to court — with the received documents, you must file a lawsuit to recognize the notary's executive inscription as not subject to execution. At the same time, an application for securing the claim is filed to suspend the collection of money from your salary or card for the duration of the trial.

Judicial practice in Ukraine today is 99% on the side of borrowers when it comes to simple online loans without notarization.
