Take this money and forget about us. A Diary note plus A Story from the practice of participating in litigation.
Yesterday I heard on the radio another piece of news about the events with the widow of a famous singer.
It turns out that during a robbery attack (you must to distinguish between theft, robbery, banditry ...) they took not 100 million rubles, but 99 million.
When the car with the perpetrators of the crime, the widow-victim and bags of money drove out of the garage of a palace near Moscow built by a famous singer and arrived at the place where the boys were supposed to go to the right and the girl - to the left, the criminals suddenly gave the widow five million rubles. And in total there were 104 million in the bags. And thus, the victim lost not 100, but 99 million rubles (104-5=99).
I am watching this case, because I am interested in ways to withdraw inheritance from modern victims.
Today I recalled the events of the past days.
I received a decision to cancel the writ of execution.
I signed an agreement on installment payments (principal and interest).
"There are about 140 apartments in the building. If 40 percent of flats are in debt, then you can not send writs of execution to 50 apartments. There will be excitement and a loud noise. They will complain both to the city, to the regional, to the federal levels! You chose me, and to me, to a law-abiding payer, you sent a writ of execution. All, or most, do not pay, but I have already paid noticeable money, and I undertake to pay the debt regularly ... I am separated from other payers! This is the discrimination!"
"Sell your apartment!"
"This is the fundamental difference between our positions. I, figuratively speaking, am ready to put up with a dirty entrance and with the absence of light bulbs in the entrance, but to be the owner of the apartment. You are ready to agree with a clean entrance and with serviceable light bulbs in the entrance, but without me, as the owner of the apartment !"
Nevertheless, I had to sign an agreement, but I wrote a statement about the cancellation or reduction of payments, since no one lives in the apartment, since neither I, nor anyone else, uses the service (utilities).
Next - an exchange of scholastic arguments in the style of medieval debaters on philosophical topics.
That's how disciplined I am. The population's debt is enormous, and this debt is hopeless to collect. And I, a disciplined payer, have been singled out from all the others, forced to pay and to sign an agreement!
You have to pay utility bills. I need to pay for services that I actually did not receive!
I remember one story from my legal practice.
(to) One man, the owner of considerable real estate, I helped to win a case, hopeless for him.
Apparently, in gratitude, this kind person directed me to the following scheme. He has a debtor-tenant. Why don't I "take" this debt and claim it. An interesting idea. I agreed.
This turned out to be a difficult and a time consuming business.
The kind person kept silent about an important circumstance. The debtor-tenant firm was closely associated with one of the high-ranking officials of the city government of that time.
Well, of course, they were saving on utility bills, not only on rental payments. For example, one of the organizations, a utility service provider, entered a company into its computer database with an error in the spelling of the name.
Of course, utilities were provided, and the debt was growing ... (The company was large, it consumed a lot). But the mistake in the name of company made it impossible to collect the debt. Then the debtor disappeared.
An interesting moment. The municipal organization (utility service provider) did not receive anything from the debtor. But I got the money, although I got a some minuscule. If I had been smarter, I wouldn't have taken those money.
But they looked like a long-awaited prize. Isn't it nice for a tired lawyer to receive a prize?
But even then, and now, I felt that behind this unexpected payment, as if some kind of phrase was hiding.
Thinking today about the five million given back to the victim (from the stolen bags of money), I roughly understood what the phrase was: "Take this money and forget about us."
The main thing is that from the mass of formal debtors, from the entire volume of debts that are hopeless to receive, they singled me out - a person who actually did not use the service, actually did not receive it - and forced me to pay (I have already paid part of the amount), forced me to sign the Agreement on regular debt payments...
And what? Don't you have to pay utility bills? Everything is according to the law. The clean entrance - without the previous owners of apartments (?).
