Management companies
Until recently, it was possible to find out gas debt from a personal account only through a managing organization. And many people think that this is the easiest and surest way, because the organization is directly involved in billing citizens.
The main inconvenience is that the company does not provide such information by telephone and e-mail, you must personally visit the office. In addition to an identification document (preferably a passport), a contract for the supply of natural gas may be required. If the payer is not the owner of the housing into which the natural resource is supplied and does not have permanent or temporary registration there, they may refuse to provide information. Some organizations require a lease.
After providing the necessary documentation, they can make an extract and form a new receipt, which can be paid there. If the amount is large, companies can go forward and give installments. True, sometimes some percentage of the debt amount is required to be paid right away.
Government Services Portal
You can find out the gas debt on your personal account through the State Services website, provided that the citizen is registered on it and has passed authorization. In your account in the section "Payment of Housing and Utilities" find the service provider with whom a contract is concluded. To reduce the list of companies to the required minimum, when you enter the site, you must click on the "automatic location" button. This will dramatically narrow your search.
After the supplier is found, enter the personal account number and the purpose of payment in the appropriate columns and click "Next". The amount that appears in the window reflects both debt and interest.
The portal has the opportunity to enter the meter readings for the current day and carry out the calculation based on these data. Also on the site you can pay off your debt using bank cards working through VISA, MasterCard, and Mir systems. They pay the full amount at once; installments can be provided only by the supplier or the company that is the intermediary between Gazprom and the consumer.
"Sberbank Online"
If a person is a client of Sberbank and he has the Sberbank Online application, then using it you can quickly find out about the existing debt for natural gas. And with sufficient balance on the card, pay it off immediately.
- Enter your personal account, after entering the username and password.
- In the “Payments and Transfers” tab, they find the section “Housing and Public Utilities and Home Phone”.
- Among the services choose gas. A list of all natural resource providers working in the region of the debtor pops up. If the company is not in the list, enter its name manually in the search bar located above the list.
- Having found the necessary company, they enter a personal account, and in the column “Choose a service”, click “Gas payment” and “Continue”.
- The system itself will issue a document with all the details and debts at the time of the request.
You can pay everything at once or adjust the amount to a smaller side by changing the data in the "Counter Readings" column.
With the help of Sberbank Online, you can find out the debt both by gas and by other housing and communal services. In order to pay bills, there is no need to wait for a notice.
How to find out about a possible debt over the Internet?
Almost any information can be found on the World Wide Web. The advantage of this method is that information is received when it pleases. In addition to the reference and informational and official websites of service providers, you can find out the gas debt on your personal account through electronic wallets:
- Qiwi. On the website, the name of the regional company supplying gas is driven into the search line. After the supplier finds it, enter the number of the personal account and click "Information".
- Webmoney. In the tab "Payment for services" find the section "Utility payments". Enter the name of the company supplying gas, personal account and subscriber details. The receipt issued by the system can be paid here or printed out and pay off the debt elsewhere.
According to a similar algorithm, Yandex.Money and PayPal provide information.
How to find out gas debt in Moscow?
Residents of the capital can clarify information about housing and communal services in the same ways as other citizens of the Russian Federation. The only difference is that due to the large population, you can get an appointment with the management company (if this method is chosen) by appointment.
Residents of Moscow and the Moscow region can learn the debt for gas on their personal account in one more way - through Mosoblgaz. You can use it if the consumer of the natural resource is in the service area of this company.
You can find out about the availability of debts on the official website of the gas distribution organization. And you can do this without being a homeowner. They fill out an application indicating the Mosoblgaz branch, the address of the consumer of the service, personal account, personal data of the customer (full name, phone, email). In a few days, the necessary information will be sent by e-mail, and confirmation of the service will be reflected in the personal account of the gas distribution company.
ERC and Russian Post
These methods are rarely used to obtain information. But if they exist, then why not use them and find out the debt for gas in your personal account? The main disadvantage is that both the ERC and the post provide information only when they personally visit the departments of institutions and when providing a passport. Driving license as an identity document is not suitable. Also, there is a high probability that you need to stand in line.
The operator is voiced the problem and given a personal account number. After entering it, the employee names the address to which the account is attached. If it is correct, then the personal account is named correctly. After providing the passport, the operator forms and issues a receipt.
What will happen if you do not pay off the debt?
You always have to pay bills. With late repayment, unpleasant consequences may occur:
- In case of arrears to the personal account, interest is first charged. Their size depends on the duration of non-fulfillment of payment obligations to subscribers. The more time a person does not pay, the higher the amount.
- A supplier is legally entitled to recover a debt from a defaulter in court. According to his decision, as a rule, the debtor will be obliged to pay not only the debt, but also all legal expenses within the time period set by the court.
- In case of non-repayment of a debt by a court decision, an arrest is placed on the accounts and property of a citizen who does not fulfill financial obligations.
- Overdue debts for gas supplied are reflected in the credit history for 10 years. With such a “stain” it is problematic to take any loan, at least at low interest rates.
- Debtors must not travel outside the country until the debt is fully paid off, regardless of whether there is a call abroad or a citizen independently wants to visit another country.
- Some companies act more radically - they suspend gas supply. The supplier can take such a step if the payer does not respond to the notification of debt within three months.
- The last resort is eviction. True, it applies only to those who rent housing and that is, supporting documents.
Debt restructuring
By law, every citizen can restructure debt. In fact, not all debtors meet service providers. If gas bills were not paid due to the careless attitude to fulfill their financial obligations, then there can be no talk of any restructuring.
For a subscriber, a review of debt obligations allows you to pay a large amount in small installments without additional penalties. Companies, on the other hand, have no particular benefit, therefore, they only meet if there is a good reason and documents confirming it.
A debt review application must be submitted to the gas distribution company before it filed a lawsuit against the non-payer. But even if the lawsuit is open, the availability of papers confirming that the debt arose as a result of unforeseen circumstances can contribute to the reconciliation of the parties. After such a decision, the company may go for restructuring.
How to prevent debt for gas?
Debt for gas can be avoided, and it is not difficult to do so. The main thing is to pay receipts on time. The simplest thing is to connect auto payment for gas on a personal account. You can connect and, if necessary, turn off this service in any Internet banking or on the official website of a company supplying natural gas. A similar opportunity is provided by some electronic payment systems (wallets).
In case of financial difficulties, it is recommended to contact the company with a request for a deferred payment. A conscientious attitude to financial responsibilities will avoid a lot of problems.
