Bailiffs received search instructions on the web

The Federal Bailiff Service of the Russian Federation approved guidelines for using the Internet to search for information about debtors and their property.

The bailiff receives a remuneration of 5% of the recovered amount if he finds a person and by applying pressure on him and his relatives will achieve payment of the debt.

According to the methodological instructions, the initial search for information about debtors is recommended to bailiffs:

- in Internet search engines (for example, yandex.ru, google.ru, bing.com, yahoo.com, rambler.ru, metabot.ru, search.com);
- on social networking sites, the necessary information is contained not only on the personal pages of citizens, but also on the social networking web pages that combine user organizations into groups (for example, odnoklassniki.ru, vkontakte.ru, facebook.com, linkedin.com and other);
- in blogs that can be personal, group / corporate, public, thematic or general (livejournal.ru, my.ya.ru, twitter.com, li.ru, blogs.mail.ru, diary.ru);
- in databases of addresses and telephones (for example, 09service.com, nomer.org, lookup.com);
- in a number of other Internet sources.

“The analysis of contacts (relatives, colleagues, partners, friends) and photographs (photographing places, surrounding interior, comments to photographs) submitted by citizens on the Internet allows to establish both the debtor’s property and its location.

Set information about the debtors and their property allows the direction of requests to providers. The existence of an agreement on the provision of Internet access allows, via an IP address, to establish the location of the computer used by the debtor to access the Internet, ”the document says.
