OREANDA-NEWS. On 27 February 2009 was announced, that over 40 thousand cases and claims for recovering non-paid bills for heat power of total amount over roubles 1.5 bill were produced judicially to the customers of JSC “Far Eastern Generating Company” (JSC “FEGC”) in the last year. Out of them there were sustained cases for total amount of Roubles 637 mil and over roubles 400 mil are already returned to the energy company only for these “fresh” court orders.

“The courts start to entertain the actions and claims, set forth to the debtors, faster”, - noted the Deputy General Director of JSC “FEGC” for Legal Activity Tatiana Voronaya, - “practically in all regions of energy company activity (and these are Khabarovsky and Primorsky krais, Amurskaya and Jewish Autonomous oblasts, the south of Republic of Sakha). The only exclusion are the judicial authorities of Primoriye. Here still, from the times of nonexistent now “Dalenergo”, are have being dead stocked the claims for roubles 198 mil. It fraught with danger that considerable money for delivered heat power will never be returned to the energy company”.

T. Voronaya has also stressed, that in the last year n the Far East started closer and more effective operation of legal services of JSC “FEGC” and officers of justice. On the spot, there has been twice increased not only the number of joint raids for debtors aiming at collecting debts on court orders, but the percentage of fulfilled execution proceedings. The result of this activity is became roubles 22 mil which are already paid to the energy company by the individuals, owed for earlier used heat power.

We should note, that activity of legal advisors of the company for collecting debts from the customers is the most effective tool of the struggle with the lovers to live for other persons’ account, as we can call debtors, who are staying in comfort - with hot water and heating – for the account of bona fide customers and the energy company itself. Thus, in 2008 in the course of entire claim administration and work with court orders they managed to collect in favour of JSC “FEGC” roubles 804.7 mil for debts of the last year and the several recent years.
