What are the reasons for a car being locked?
1 Answers
Locked cars are vehicles that cannot be transferred or sold. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Installment payment: For cars purchased through installment payments, if the bank payments are in arrears, the bank may apply to the court for debt collection. The court will then issue a seizure notice to the vehicle management office, prohibiting all operations such as inspections. 2. Full payment: The second scenario involves fully paid cars where the owner has outstanding debts. Creditors may apply to the court to first seize and lock the vehicle, then determine its ownership through a judgment. 3. Illegal use: Lastly, if criminals use the vehicle for illegal activities or purchase it with illicit funds, the public security bureau may seize the vehicle to recover it, prohibiting all operations such as inspections and transfers. A locked vehicle's records have no usage rights or significance, meaning the vehicle cannot be used. If the disputes involving the seized vehicle are not resolved within the specified period, the vehicle may be locked at any time, rendering it unfit for road use.
