What is heating payment debt, and what consequences can it lead to?

Find out by address

The obvious action is to personally contact the management company. There, after checking the address, they will be able to name the exact amount and even issue a duplicate invoice. Unfortunately, it is not convenient for everyone to get to the accounting department of a utility service, or it is impossible to get there during business hours.

If you know the phone number of the management company, you can actually call. Also, having specified the registration address and personal data, the amount of rent owed will be announced at the settlement center. Are there other ways? Certainly! With the development of information technology, most citizens can find out the amount of debt without leaving home.

Methods for transmitting meter readings

Consumers of utility resources can transmit readings in one of the following ways:

• you can register with the company and log into your personal account via a computer for transfer;
• without registration through a special form for a personal account;
• through a telephone operator or answering machine;
• mobile application "Government Services";
• via the organization's email;
• sending SMS messages;
• in person at the service office.

Many companies already have their own mobile applications, social networks and instant messengers. Please contact your service company to determine the available method for transmitting meter readings.

How to find out the amount of underpayment for heat?

Citizens have a large number of ways to determine the amount of debt for heating. Their entire set can be divided into two groups:

• online – the procedure is performed without leaving your home.

By personal account

The main way to find out the amount of debt for heating offline is to call directly to the resource supply organization. This option is most relevant for owners of individual households.

In this case, you will need to name your personal account, after which an employee of the institution will be able to provide the information of interest.

In addition to the classic option, you can also use online methods to determine the amount of debt for housing and communal services. You can find out this amount from the personal account of the owner of the premises in several ways:

After the payment is made, the result is necessarily displayed - for example, “the payment was made for the amount of ...”, and you are asked to print a receipt. Since all transactions are saved in the payment history, there is no need to print a receipt. However, for further reconciliation, it is more convenient to store paper copies of documents.

To make sure that the payment has been accepted and the funds have reached the contractor, it is worth checking the receipt for next month’s utilities - you can determine whether the payment has been accepted by checking the paid amounts with the actual amounts in the “payment” line (or by checking the amount of debt).

Public services

One of the most popular resources for obtaining information online and making payments is the State Services website. Among other options, it is possible to obtain information about the presence and amount of rent arrears.

To work on the site, you must register a personal account . To do this, enter personal information (passport data, permanent registration address, TIN, SNILS, etc.). After this, registration must be confirmed. To do this, you can request a letter to the address indicated on the website or visit the nearest State Services office with a passport and carry out identification. The second method is faster and more reliable, since the letter takes a long time and can also get lost.

After confirming your registration, you can use the site’s services in full, including receiving information about the status of your utility bills and paying them.

The algorithm of actions for obtaining information is as follows:

1. Login to your personal account on the website https://www.gosuslugi.ru/.

What will be the delay?

If there is no timely payment, this is a violation of current legislation (Article 153 of the Housing Code [1]). The permissible debt is 30 days; before this period there will be no additional penalties. Overdue? The Criminal Code has the right to impose sanctions in the form of penalties. It is allowed to disconnect services for late payment. The maximum debt is up to 3 months, after which utility companies apply for a court order.

For property owners, subsidiary liability is provided - rent can be collected from any owner. In addition to the amount of rent and penalties, a state fee is collected. In particularly advanced cases, the owner faces eviction from the living space.

In order not to bring the case to court, services must be paid on time. And the Internet will help you find out the amount and make the payment.

What happens for non-payment

Untimely repayment of consumed water threatens the consumer with the following adverse consequences:

• accrual of penalties - 31 days from the date of the required payment. The amount is determined by the length of the delay. Up to 90 days from the deadline for payment, 1/300 of the rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation is charged for each day. Subsequently, the penalty increases to 1/130 of the bet. The rate is 7.75 percent per annum;
• warning - the owner is notified of the need to repay the debt within 20 days;
• turning off the water supply - if payment is not made within the period specified in the notification, the supplier may turn off the supply of resources. Disabling can be done in various ways. Instead of turning off the supply, in some regions and localities measures are taken to plug the sewer, after which the use of water becomes problematic;
• legal action - the supplier can go to court to repay the resulting debt. In this case, in addition to the debt and penalties, the consumer will have to additionally pay legal costs. If the amount of the debt exceeds 500 thousand rubles, paperwork can be carried out according to a simplified scheme with the issuance of a court order. As a result, a writ of execution is issued, according to which the debt can be forcibly collected;
• a ban on traveling abroad - if the debt is at least 30 thousand rubles, this restrictive measure may be taken.

In addition to the above, the debtor may be blacklisted by banks, which does not allow him to receive approval for a loan. The extreme measure provided for by law is eviction, which a utility organization can resort to if the debtor lives in an apartment under a social tenancy agreement or has other housing. In this case, an apartment with a water debt can be sold to pay off utility bills.

Ways to see the amount owed on apartment taxes

In addition to paying utility bills, every property owner must regularly pay property taxes. You can find out the debt on it:

• personally;
• via mail;
• online.

After presenting the documents, the Federal Tax Service employee will make the appropriate requests and provide the necessary information. pay the debt at the nearest ATM, through Internet banking, electronic wallets or the State Services website.

REFERENCE! Tax service employees are required to send postal notifications of debt to the citizen’s registered address. Therefore, if it is not possible to visit the branch in person, you can simply wait for the letter.

You can also get information via the Internet. To do this, you can use the official website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation . Here you also need to register, but to confirm your identity you will have to visit the nearest tax office and present your passport and TIN.

Thus, there are enough ways to find out the presence and size of debt for utility bills. It should be noted that if the debt exceeds 10 thousand rubles, information about the debtor can be found on the bailiffs website, because the presence of such a debt is the basis for forced collection of payment.
