Uijeongbu City Implements Deposit Seizure Against Delinquent Parking Violation Fine Defaulters

Uijeongbu City (Mayor Ahn Byeong-yong) sent advance notices of deposit seizure in two batches from September to October to 93 delinquent defaulters owing over 1.9 million won in fines, and encouraged voluntary payment. Excluding partial payers and those who applied for installment payment among the deposit seizure notice recipients, the city plans to implement deposit seizure in two phases on November 6 and 13 against remaining delinquent defaulters.

Since June 26, the city has introduced and operated an 'electronic deposit seizure system' to clear parking violation fine delinquencies totaling 18.3 billion won, with 1,850 individual defaulters each owing over 1 million won, and a total delinquent amount of 3.8 billion won.

The electronic deposit seizure system identifies delinquent defaulters' primary banking institutions through credit information relay services with NICE Evaluations & Information Co., Ltd., enabling the city to quickly inquire, seize, and collect deposits in the names of delinquent defaulters online.

Lee Young-jae, Director of the Traffic Guidance Division, stated, "Although we are in the early stages of implementation, we will actively utilize the electronic deposit seizure system to not only conduct deposit seizures but also carry out continuous payment encouragement activities through regular text message notifications, thereby establishing a voluntary payment culture where delinquent defaulters voluntarily make payments."
