Uijeongbu City Operates 'Electronic Deposit Garnishment System' for Parking Fine Delinquent Payers

Uijeongbu City (Mayor Ahn Byung-yong) has been operating an 'Electronic Deposit Garnishment System' since June 26 as a measure to resolve delinquent parking violation fines, with a total delinquency of 18.9 billion won, and 1,850 individuals with delinquencies of over 1 million won per person, totaling 3.8 billion won in arrears.

The Electronic Deposit Garnishment System identifies the delinquent payer's primary bank through NICE Evaluations Information Co., Ltd. and credit information relay services, allowing the city to quickly search, garnish, and collect deposits in the delinquent payer's name online.

The city plans to send advance notices before implementing deposit garnishment to prevent innocent victims who are unaware of parking violation fine delinquencies, and will encourage voluntary payment by delinquent payers.

Nam Sang-bin, Director of the Traffic Control Division, stated, "We expect the electronic system for deposit garnishment and collection to play a significant role in collecting chronic delinquencies, and plan to apply effective yet powerful collection techniques going forward to minimize parking violation fine arrears."
