What to do if the fine is paid, but the payment did not go through
If a problem arises, you should adhere to a precise algorithm of actions. First, you should always save payment receipts so that you can prove that the funds were actually deposited. It is best to keep the paper version along with the digital copy.
If the check is lost, you should get a copy of it using the service where the payment was made. To do this, a request is made to send a supporting document. It is worth noting that it is best to make payments through large financial institutions, because it is much easier to find out something if there is no payment information.

If the paid fine is lost on the traffic police portal, you should contact the automobile inspection department at the place of registration with a receipt for payment. You can do this right from home on the institution’s electronic portal. Such requests should be considered within a month.
What to do if the traffic police issued a fine, but it is not in the database?
This could be either system failures, operator errors, or information has not yet arrived from the regional database to the federal one.
Moreover, the fine appears on the official resources of the traffic police only after the information is received from the federal traffic police database to the Federal Treasury.
That is, as we see, the system is quite complex and confusing. You can also find fines on the State Services portal, which draws information directly from the Federal Treasury. And if at some stage there is a hitch, then information about the administrative violation will not appear on it. Well, among other things, there are now many different mobile applications for searching and paying fines, and they all have their own sources of information.
In a word, the most common reason for this situation is that regional bases do not always promptly interact with the central one.

How to return a fine that was paid by mistake
It often happens that the driver does not remember the 50% discount and pays the entire amount. Sometimes they pay for a resolution that has already been canceled, or the person enters the wrong details and the money goes to no one knows where.
To return the funds, you should contact the department whose employees issued the fine. The phone number is indicated in the resolution, or you can open the official traffic police portal and look there. To receive a refund, you will need to write a corresponding application.

The document must be taken to the traffic police department. It is considered in accordance with the law within 30 days. It is worth noting that if the fine was paid incorrectly, it will still need to be paid again using the correct details. And only after that you need to apply for a refund.
What to do if the error persists for 3 days
The ESIA system notifies that information on traffic and automobile fines can be generated and sent by the State Traffic Inspectorate to the GIS GMP within up to 3 days. During this period, the data may not be updated, so payment of the fine is impossible at State Services.
When the specified three-day period passes, and the payment page does not allow you to deposit funds, you should go to the nearest traffic police office to check the fine and obtain details.
Often, after reloading the information again after some time, users can pay the specified amount at a discount, since data is exchanged from the State Traffic Inspectorate.
You can use the chat function on the portal to clarify the issue of paying a car fine. You will need to activate the “Ask a Question” option in the “Support” section.
It is not recommended to file a complaint on the government services website, as the review period can be 14-30 days. During this time, it is possible to update information and load the payment page.

How to remove a paid fine from the database
Contact the bank. Ask the bank to check whether the payment information has been sent to the GIS GMP. If in doubt, ask to upload the information to the GIS GMP again and wait a day. If the payment is still listed as unpaid, contact the traffic police - most likely the problem is on their side.
Write or come to the traffic police. This can be done in one of three ways:
- via the site. In the section for receiving traffic police requests, describe the essence of the matter and attach a scan of the payment order. It is best to write the application manually and take a photograph, then attach the photo;
- by registered mail. If the fine is still in the database, write a letter to the department that issued it. The address and telephone number for inquiries are on the decree;
- at a reception with the head of the department. If you have not received a response within a month, make an appointment for a personal meeting with the head of the department whose employee issued the fine. Before going to the branch, take a payment order from the bank from Fr.

Error, not enough information about the fine
By clicking on a link that leads the user to the next stage - payment of the accrued penalty - individual citizens are faced with a situation where the system generates an error. The screen displays the message that the fine information is insufficient. The main reasons for the above mentioned problem are the following:
- inadequacy of information material regarding traffic violations;
- payment of the collection was made, but the information on the portal was not updated.
Thanks to the electronic service, information about the imposition of penalties reaches the car owner in a matter of minutes. However, along with the electronic notification, the citizen receives a written notification, which arrives by mail to the registration address indicated in the owner’s certificate.

I can't pay the fine!

I'm trying to pay through Sberbank, MKB Bank, QIWI Bank - the payment does not go through.
At the same time, Qiwi says that it does not pass the OKATO code. I ask for a certificate from Sberbank stating that the fine is not being paid through you - they don’t give it, they say we don’t give such certificates.

What to do if the payment is not credited?
The main proof of payment - a receipt or check - will allow you to quickly resolve the problem with the status of the fine. If the motorist transferred money online, then he has everything he needs (electronic receipt). Both the traffic police website, the government services portal, and intermediary sites always offer to save or print the receipt. In addition, it continues to be stored in the system for some time.
When making a payment at a banking organization, a receipt is also issued. If the document is lost, you need to contact the staff. They have information about payments made by individuals.
When the receipt is in hand, the matter remains small. You must come to the traffic police department at the place of registration and present the document. Based on it, a statement is written with a request to verify the fact of payment. As a rule, a letter with the results arrives within half a month.
You can also apply for consideration of the fact of making a payment on the Internet, on the traffic police website. One of the online services provided to citizens is “Reception of Applications”. After selecting a region, you must fill out the standard fields: full name, preferred method of notification, telephone number and address, copies or originals of payment documents (photos, scans). The response is given 30 days, during which time employees remove the fine from the database if it was actually paid.
What are the fine bases?
Traffic police database. When an inspector issues a fine, the information first goes into this database.
State information system on state and municipal payments (GIS GMP). The fine is included in this database from the traffic police database. This is the virtual accounting department of the Federal Treasury. From the GIS GMP, information is collected by services for paying fines, such as “Traffic Police Fines.” At the same time, the driver receives a notification by mail and a paper letter in the mailbox.
When the driver pays off the debt, the bank transfers the information to the GIS GMP - information about the fine disappears from the database. The traffic police sees that the fine has been paid off in the GIS GMP, and cancels the fine in its database.
If you do not pay the fine within 60 days, the debt goes to the bailiffs. We wrote about what to do in such a situation.
Is the game worth the candle?
Definitely worth it! With rare exceptions.
Drivers have the opportunity to pay traffic debts that are half the amount assigned on the basis of Part 1.3 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. It is in it that a period of 20 days is stated for paying 50% of the fine. Moreover, the course of this period is marked by a number of difficulties:
- the calculation of 20 days begins from the day the decision is made,
- the problem is that if the fine took a long time to arrive by mail and arrived late, then you may not find out about the imposed punishment,
- most other deadlines are calculated more correctly - precisely from the day of receiving a copy of the resolution, why this particular opportunity begins from other moments is known only to the legislators.
It would seem that legislators came up with an innovation in the law, giving drivers relief, but then immediately made its practical application almost impossible. Moreover, for residents of large cities everything is simpler, but for rural settlements and small towns the situation is more complicated - here letters can take more than 20 days to arrive.
But at the end of 2021, deputies nevertheless corrected this issue. But a logical start for calculating the period from the date of receipt of the decision was still not introduced. Instead, motorists who missed the deadline due to mail were given the opportunity to petition for restoration of the missed period and the possibility of paying at a discount.

But before writing such a petition, please note that such a discount does not apply to some traffic police fines. These include the following:
- it is impossible to pay 50% less a repeated fine of 5,000 rubles for late registration of a car (part 1.1 of article 12.1 of the Administrative Code),
- 30,000 for intoxication or refusal to undergo examination,
- repeated fines for speed – under parts 6 or 7 of Article 12.9,
- 5,000 for repeatedly running a red traffic light,
- repeated fine of 5,000 for oncoming traffic (part 5 of article 12.15),
- repeated driving against the direction of traffic on a “one-way” road (part 3.1 of article 12.16 – 5,000 rubles),
- for causing harm to health in an accident (entire Article 12.24 of the Code).
Check the copy of the resolution you received - if your sanction was issued for one of the listed violations, then you still will not be able to pay half the amount.
Reasons why payment failed
It is convenient to pay according to documents through personal accounts on the websites of the traffic police or government services. Electronic services are also suitable. But such devices have a lot of disadvantages. Most are in the process of being finalized, and maintenance work often occurs. If you arrive at this time with payment, you will receive an increase in the transfer period for the money. Or the funds will completely freeze in the system.
A common reason is innovation. New equipment is installed in computer systems, and data is coordinated with the traffic police. This is not a one-minute process. Databases quickly crash due to the slightest installation problem. Many drivers even face the opposite problem. There is no information on the official website about fines imposed, but a letter was sent to the mail with a photo violation.
Don’t discount the option of lengthy fund transfers. The system is set to transfer money not instantly, but on certain days. Let's say on Monday or 3-5 business days after the day of payment.
Good advice for you - wait 5-7 business days. Then check in your personal account whether the payment went through. If not, the situation takes a different turn.
You find yourself in debt and the amount of the fine “hangs” like a dead weight. Or it even increases due to penalties. Where to look for the guilty? How to return money for an unpaid fine? Let's try to figure it out.
