Enpara Account Block Not Removed After Debt Payment
I am a customer of Enpara Bank A.Ş. and I hold a personal demand deposit account. On my Enpara demand deposit account, an amount of ₺11,530.00 was blocked on 26 June by İstanbul Anadolu 1st Enforcement Office. The related debt was fully paid, the release letter reached the bank and the block was removed. However, the bank then stated that due to an e-seizure letter from Ankara Enforcement Office dated 8 July, my ₺11,530.00 is now kept under restriction for the Ankara file, even though on 8 July, at the moment this e-seizure reached the bank, the available balance in my account was ₺0. According to the established case law of the Court of Cassation General Assembly of Civil Chambers (HGK) (File No: 2012/139, Decision No: 2012/624), if at the time the e-seizure reaches the bank there is no money in the account or the money is already tied to another file, the seizure becomes void. After the funds are released from the previous restriction, a new e-seizure request is required; an automatic new block cannot be imposed without such a new request. Since the seizure letter dated 8 July became void at the moment it reached the bank, I consider the ongoing block on ₺11,530.00 in my Enpara demand deposit account to be unlawful. I request that this unlawful block on the amount of ₺11,530.00 be immediately removed and that my funds be made fully available to me without any further delay.
