PCA is concerned marked the trend and considers it extremely important to the end of the year a number of measures to prevent bankruptcies of insurance companies. In particular, the Association of Motor considers it necessary to expedite the passage of amendments to the law on bankruptcy of insurance companies.

Often, insurers are racing OSAGO XRD and claim self-destruction. This allows them to enter the contest managers, affiliated with the company. As a result, the remaining assets of the insurer immediately evaporates and he had nothing to answer for the obligations to clients, including contracts OSAGO.

Group President, RESO-Garantia "Sergey Sarkisov considers critical situation with the expenditure of funds SAR. "We understand that liberal law in the bankruptcy of insurance companies is leading 5-6 OSAGO insurers to pay for the irresponsibility of the leaders of other companies that drive them to bankruptcy and do not receive adequate punishment for it. We look at examples of how former executives of bankrupt insurers gain company with a valid license OSAGO the money collected from the insured, and start your game again. It would be misleading to assume that the leading insurers in OSAGO exhaustion guarantee funds SAR will be prepared easily "chip in" to replenish those funds. We understand that in the current situation, such a measure would provide additional opportunities for all sorts of scams ", - said S. Sarkisov.

"The system facilitated the settlement of losses since March, when order was introduced in Russia, it has received 500 complaints from policyholders who chose to settle insurance small events without having to call the representative of traffic police. As a result, 200 such statements made by the insurer refused to pay compensation" - E. Vasilyev said.
