SIN (SOLUS Identification Number) is an eight-letter code that is required for the use of SMS statement. Without SIN the SMS statement service can´t be used. SIN is used to identify the client and allows him to check debts listed in the Register FO.

Do not disclose your personal SIN to other people! We recomend to treat your SIN as for example the PIN of your credit card. If your SIN was compromised you should block it immediately.

You do not, but given the fact that the SIN code is used to identify you and allows you to verify the current status of liabilities denominated about you in the Register FO, we recommend to behave to your SIN code, like for example a PIN for debit card and therefore we do not recommend using other than your own phone number.

Once manage to connect an incoming payment with your request for SIN code, customer service calls on your number from a request and within a short monitored  call verify your identity.

If you miss the verification call we send you a message with a request about call back. We will wait 10 days and then your request for SIN code will be cancel.

If you recieve SMS with SIN code on your mobile phone number, from which you then try to send request for SMS statement and answer didn’t arrive, then it maybe a case when you don’t have allowed service of Premium SMS from your mobile operator.

The state may occure in the following situations:

1) You have sent application but you don’t send the payment yet or you filled payment order wrong and payment wasn’t paired. Application is waiting in the system to incoming payment for 10 days. Then the payment is canceled. To verify that the payment order has arrived, please
contact customer service.

2) You have sent an application and payment correctly but phone verification of your identity failed. For each recieved and paid application, customer service verifies the identity of the applicant through short phone call. If phone call failed then the customer service send SMS message with a request for a call back.

If the monitored verification phone call is unsuccessful the application will not be processed.

Consumers not meeting their obligations relating to the activity of at least one Member of the SOLUS Association  involved in the activity of SOLUS Negative Registers are included into the Register FO or Register IC. We can find the up-to-dateist list of Member companies.

The criterion for initial inclusion into the Register of consumers is the fact that a consumer is in delay with fulfillment of his liabilities from a credit, leasing or another agreement, from which financial obligation after maturity arose to him towards the creditor and this delay lasts for a set period.

The minimum debt amount for initial inclusion info the SOLUS Negative Registers (Register FO and Register IC) is 500 CZK.

Recording to the Register FO or Register IC is realized by the member company of the SOLUS Association usually after 3 consecutive unpaid installments (In the case of telecomunications it is delay, that takes 3 unpaid invoices or 3 months from the maturity date of unpaid invoice).

At the begining of the contract it is possible to record a debtor into the Registers SOLUS after two unpaid installments and at the end of the contract in the case of one last unpaid installment. The member company can record its client also in case of cancellation of contract due to default on the part of the client.

In every case the time of delay is not less than 30 days.

The Register FO and the Register IC gather negative information about clients which are not interested in fulfilment or are not able to fulfil their liabilities. The Register FO and The Register IC contain only information, which is necessary for client identification and the information about the breach of the obligation to repay.

The Register FO and the Register IC do not include any kind of sensitive personal information, nor other subsidiary information like information about the client´s income. Pursuant to the request into the Negative Registers the only information which the member company receives is the identification of the client (this information they already had) and the information about the debt or it´s repayment. The information about the repayment is kept in the register for three years after the end of the delay.

In case of electronic communications services and energy supply services for the period of the client’s delay with the payment of his / her obligations and one year after the end of the delay.

Based on an electronic request via a web form or a written request with your signature, you have the possibility to obtain information about whether you are included in the Registers of SOLUS (Register FO, Register IC, Positive Register), what data are kept about you and the source of the information in question relating to your personal data.
