Debt collection for housing and communal services

Payment of housing and communal services is the duty of every citizen of Ukraine who lives in a residential building. However, in practice, not everyone faithfully fulfills their obligations, which leads to the emergence of debt. In such cases, the question arises of how to legally collect the debt from the defaulter.

Grounds for debt collection for housing and communal services

There are several grounds on which the collection of housing debt can be based:

1. Availability of a contract on the provision of housing and communal services. This document records the fact that the consumer has received services and his consent to pay for them.
2. Acts of reconciliation of calculations. These documents confirm the amount of debt on a certain date.
3. Court decision. If the debtor does not respond to pre-trial collection methods, the housing association may file a lawsuit with the court.

Ways to collect debt for housing and communal services

There are several ways to collect debt for housing and communal services, which can be used both separately and in combination:

1. Pre-trial settlement. At this stage, the service provider tries to resolve the issue amicably, by means of negotiations with the debtor, providing him with installment payments, concluding a debt restructuring agreement.
2. Court order. This is a simplified debt collection procedure.
3. Claim proceedings. This method is used to collect any amounts owed, regardless of their size, even if the debtor disputes his debt.
4. Enforcement. After receiving a court decision, the company can apply to executors for forced collection of the debt.

The main mistakes that can be made without the help of lawyers

Attempting to collect housing debt on your own may lead to the following errors:

1. Incorrect processing of documents. This may lead to the fact that the court will not consider the case or recognize the demands of the housing association as illegal.
2. Failure to observe the statute of limitations. As a general rule, the statute of limitations for the collection of housing debt is 3 years.
3. Incorrect choice of collection method. Choosing the wrong collection method can lead to a loss of time and money.
4. Ignorance of one’s rights and responsibilities. This can lead to the debtor taking advantage of your incompetence.
