— The unified payment system will replace the business model of settlement centers that charge commissions for generating receipts. Also, the State Information System of Housing and Public Utilities as a single operator will eliminate the abuses that exist today and will allow for state-level control over the circulation of money in the housing and public utilities sector, — explained Pavel Sklyanchuk.

the collection of housing and japan cell phone number list communal services fees, noted Irina Bulgakova, head of the Housing and Communal Services Commission of the Public Council under the Ministry of Construction. When there are many payment documents, a person can accidentally lose some of them, she explained. For example, as Tyumen resident Alexander told Izvestia, he once accidentally owed the utility workers more than 30 thousand rubles.

— I paid for housing and communal services in good faith using one receipt that I took from the mailbox, and six months later I received a notice from the bailiffs with a debt of more than 30 thousand rubles. It turned out that there was also a second receipt, and all this time I had not paid for all the services. Naturally, it was difficult to pay off such a debt at the moment, — the man said.

The introduction of a single payment document is an important and useful initiative that is in line with the State Duma's work to increase the transparency of the housing and utilities sector, says Alexander Yakubovsky, a member of the State Duma Committee on Construction and Housing and Utilities. This measure is similar to legislative changes that require credit institutions to indicate the full amount of the loan in a strictly defined place and in large print.

“The consumer should be given the most accessible and detailed explanation of what every ruble he pays goes towards,” emphasized Alexander Yakubovsky.

Additionally, it is necessary to place information directly on these payment documents about where and how a citizen can apply if he does not agree with the amount charged or in the event of receiving services of inadequate quality, the parliamentarian added.

A single payment document will not only be convenient for consumers, but will also allow savings on bank fees for transferring funds using different receipts, noted Tatyana Vepretskaya, Director of the National Housing Congress Non-Profit Partnership.

Also, at the federal level, accumulated data on the volumes of consumption of utilities will appear; based on this information, it will be possible to plan the distribution of budget subsidies for the modernization of networks or replacement of equipment, added Pavel Sklyanchuk.
