The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG) announced that they will open and operate the 'Jeonse Fraud Victims Auction and Public Sale Support Center' in Jongno-gu, Seoul, starting from the 7th.


The auction and public sale support service is a project where the public sector covers 70% of the legal service agency fees for Jeonse fraud victims who find it difficult to proceed with auction and public sale procedures due to their livelihoods. Through this, victims only bear 30% of the costs and can receive comprehensive services such as legal consultation, distribution, and bidding from matched legal experts.


The newly opened Auction and Public Sale Support Center is staffed with judicial scriveners and dedicated counseling personnel who provide not only application support for the auction and public sale support service but also legal consultations tailored to each victim's individual circumstances, considering factors such as senior and junior tenants and eligibility for priority compensation to minimize damages. Additionally, victims can receive guidance on major support items under special laws.


Victims who find it difficult to visit the Auction and Public Sale Support Center can select their preferred legal experts directly and receive dedicated comprehensive services nearby without visiting the center. Applications for the service can be made not only at the Auction and Public Sale Support Center but also at the Jeonse Victim Support Centers (4 locations), HUG branches (9 locations), and the Safe Jeonse Portal.



Meanwhile, the opening ceremony is scheduled to be held on the 9th, attended by Park Byung-seok, Head of the Jeonse Victim Support Team at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Kim Ok-ju, Head of Asset Management at HUG, and Lee Nam-cheol, President of the Korea Judicial Scriveners Association.
