Bailiffs extend their powers. In case of legislative amendments this department can get a law enforcement agency status.
Particularly they will be empowered to seek for bank debtors and those who hide from taxes, alimony. In future bailiffs will be raiding in the streets, seek for their "clients" with the help of HR departments, house administration and merely raid some flats.
They plan to raise detection level from 64% to 72% by 2010 and to 80% in 2011. They plan to fulfil this plan with the help of licence lifting, gun licence lifting, claims to property and even arresting of payments for cellular communication.
To mention, bank debtors, malicious alimony and tax nonpayers faced more problems one year ago. On the ground of new amendments "About enforcement proceedings" bailiffs have more rights to deal with them in their own way. Even in case of debtor absence at home they are empowered to penetrate into their dwelling.
Bank debtors are to bring the biggest income. Number of such debtors is growing in arithmetic progression, debt sum is coming to milliards. Banks have to appeal to collector service and after lawsuits to bailiff service. The latter is empowered not only to penetrate into dweliing without owner?s permission but also set veto on leaving abroad.
But they won?t begin a trial connected with little sums of money. The lowest threshold amount for sum of recovery is going to be introduced. While the budget expenses for one enforcement proceeding are estimated to 300-400 rubles, Federal Bailiff Service proposes to initiate proceedings fro sums above 500 rubles.
