Possible errors and ways to solve them
During the payment process, technical glitches or data entry errors may occur that block the transaction. One common problem is the “Contract not found” message. This may mean that the number was entered incorrectly, or the data about the new policy has not yet been synchronized in the ERIP database after it was issued by the agent.
Another common error is related to an expired Internet banking session. If you took a long time to fill out data or were distracted, the security system could automatically end your session. In this case, you must log in again and repeat the payment procedure. Technical work is also possible on the ERIP processing side or the insurance company itself.
⚠️ Attention: If the “Insufficient Funds” error appears, do not try to repeat the payment immediately. Wait for the reflection of the return of the reserved amount (if it was frozen) or check the limits on the card.
If the money has been debited but the payment status has not changed, do not panic. In the ERIP system, there may be delays in status updates of up to 3 business days, although this usually happens faster. Save the receipt and transaction code - these are the main proof of payment. In case of a long delay, contact the bank support service with the transaction code.
Main advice in case of an error: Always save the ERIP transaction code. This is a way to prove payment and initiate a payment search in the event of a failure.
