# Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1823 of 10 October 2016 establishing the forms referred to in Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a European Account Preservation Order procedure to facilitate cross-border debt recovery in civil and commercial matters, Division 6: Details of the debtor's bank account

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

In order to save time and costs, it is important that you provide all the information you have about the debtor's bank account. If you do not have the number of the debtor's bank account or accounts, it is sufficient to provide the name and address of the bank with which the debtor holds one or more accounts or a number such as the BIC that allows the bank to be identified. However, if you do have details of the debtor's bank account or accounts (for example, account number or IBAN), you should provide these details. This is in order to avoid the risk that the bank is unable to implement the Preservation Order because it cannot identify with certainty the account or accounts of the debtor. If you can indicate the number of only one of the debtor's accounts but you also want to preserve any other account held by the debtor with the same bank (for example, you have only the number of the debtor's current account but you also want to preserve any savings accounts held by the debtor with the same bank), please tick the box in point 6.7.
If you do not know with which bank the debtor holds an account but you have reason to believe that the debtor holds one or more accounts in a specific Member State and you have already obtained a judgment, court settlement or authentic instrument that requires the debtor to pay your claim, you can ask the court with which you are lodging the application for the Preservation Order to request that the information authority in the Member State(s) where the account is located obtain the necessary information to identify the bank and the debtor's account or accounts in the Member State. In this case, please go to section 7 where further details on the conditions to lodge such a request are given.
Where you already know the details of one or more of the debtor's bank accounts but you have reason to believe that the debtor also holds one or more other accounts in a specific Member State and you do not know the details of the latter account(s), you can — in the same application for a Preservation Order — give details of the debtor's bank account you do know (in this case, please fill in section 6) and, at the same time, lodge a request to obtain account information for other account(s) in a specific Member State (in this case, please also fill in section 7).
Please note that Regulation (EU) No 655/2014 does not apply to the preservation of bank accounts containing financial instruments (Article 4(3) of the Regulation).
If you want to preserve accounts in more than one bank, please provide the information below for each bank concerned. When filling in the form on paper, please use separate sheets per bank account and number each page.
