An Article 89/1 attachment notice: what it means

Author · Av. Ayşenur Konar, Avukat

In short

If an Article 89/1 attachment notice has arrived, the enforcement office has written to you as a third party who is said to hold a debt or an asset of the debtor, not as the debtor. A bank, an employer or a tenant is a frequent addressee. The paper does not announce that the debt is yours. It asks for a statement about the debt or the asset. Enforcement and Bankruptcy Code Article 89 carries this sequence. Samples 89/1, 89/2 and 89/3 are not photocopies of one text.

The date of service is on the stamp of the envelope or the electronic record. If there is no stamp, a day is not built from this page.

Phrases on the paper

| Phrase | What it separates |
| --- | --- |
| İİK 89/1 | The first notice. The third party is asked about a debt or asset of the debtor. |
| İİK 89/2 | The next sample, if there was no reply or the reply is disputed. |
| İİK 89/3 | The third step. The third party's responsibility is read on this sample. |
| Esas No / E. | The enforcement file number. A reply uses this number. |
| tebliğ edildi | The stamp from which a period is read. A screenshot without the stamp does not create a service date. |

The general definition stays in what an attachment notice is. This page separates the sample number.

What to check

Check the addressee first. If the writing went to a bank, an employer or a tenant, the reply is given in that capacity. The debtor's name is the second line. The file number, the office and any amount sit in the same block. If no amount is written, none is added.

A deduction from wages is a different paper: a wage-attachment letter. The rate is not calculated here. An invitation to inspect minutes made in your absence is an Article 103 invitation.

The service date, and staying silent

The period is read from the stamp and from the order Article 89 attaches to that sample. This text does not paste the same day onto every file. If the stamp is faint, or the electronic record has no line, a day is not invented.

If nothing is done, the office can treat the lack of a reply as the basis for the next notice. 89/2 is not a repeat of 89/1. At 89/3, the third party's responsibility for the debt that was asked about is considered separately. That sentence is not a result that every unanswered writing transfers the debt. The sample number and the reply line are read first.

If it reached the wrong person

If your name is not on the third-party line, do not answer as though the debt were yours. If you are the debtor and the envelope went to the employer or the bank, your objection does not stand in for that notice's reply. A file number that does not match another proceeding is not used on a petition.

Papers worth taking to a lawyer: the notice, the service stamp, any earlier 89/1 or 89/2, and a record that the asset belongs to the debtor. An identity number and someone else's account statement are not written on an open form. Cover them before you share the paper.

The frame is the enforcement and bankruptcy page. Document types are sorted at legal papers. This notice is not a separate rule in the deadline calculator. The comparison note is enforcement routes.

Interest on the notice amount is split in the statutory interest calculator. The third party's debt is not decided there.

Conclusion

89/1 is the first statement. 89/2 and 89/3 are later steps. A reply is not written before the stamp, the file number and the addressee are read.

Frequently asked questions

Are 89/1 and 89/2 the same writing?

No. 89/1 is the first notice. 89/2 is the later copy sent when there was no reply, or when the reply is disputed. The sample number is read on the paper.

If I do not reply, does the debt pass to me at once?

Silence on the first writing does not make the third party the debtor that day. The statute provides a further notice if there is no reply or the denial is not treated as enough. Responsibility at the 89/3 stage is read separately. This page does not add a day the file does not show.

Is this paper an Article 103 invitation?

It is not. An Article 103 invitation calls you to inspect attachment minutes. An Article 89 notice goes to a third party said to owe the debtor. If the addressee line is mixed up, the reply goes to the wrong file.
