The senator called for reducing the burden on citizens when paying debts for housing and communal services

The draft law proposed in the Federation Council on simplifying the procedure for collecting debts for housing and communal services will allow citizens not to overpay the state fee for applications for the collection of such debts. This will be a direct saving for families in a difficult financial situation. This point of view was expressed by Senator Oleg Golov in an interview with Izvestia.

The draft law is aimed at speeding up the recovery process by simplifying the procedure, he is sure.

"The opportunity to submit one comprehensive application from the settlement center for light, water and heat will immediately relieve the courts and speed up the making of decisions," the parliamentarian believes.

At the same time, if the amount of debt does not accumulate unnecessary legal costs, it will be psychologically and financially easier for a person to start paying it off.

One of the most significant measures proposed by the authors of the initiative is the organization of a notification mechanism for real estate addresses.

"This solves a dead-end situation when the claimant does not have complete information about where the debtor actually lives. Permission to send notifications to the address of the apartment for which the debt has accumulated and file a lawsuit at the location of the property is common sense. This will unlock thousands of suspended cases and allow money to reach the repair of pipes and porches faster," the senator is sure.
