Why Is My Car Sealed?

[McCayden]

If the car owner violates regulations, the car may be sealed. Here are the reasons for sealing a car: 1. Defaulting on bank payments: For vehicles purchased through installment payments, if the owner defaults on bank payments, the bank can apply to the court for debt collection. The court then issues a sealing notice to the vehicle management office, prohibiting all services such as vehicle inspections. 2. Owner's debt: If the owner has debt issues, creditors can apply to the court to seal the debtor's vehicle as an asset preservation measure. 3. Incomplete procedures: If there are incomplete procedures during vehicle registration and the vehicle management office cannot contact the owner, the vehicle may be temporarily locked. 4. Hit-and-run: If the vehicle flees after an accident and the case remains unresolved, the traffic police department may temporarily seal the vehicle.
