Applications for the recovery of reimbursable services. Application for collection of debt under a contract for the provision of services

The collection of funds under the service agreement takes place on the basis of the clauses of the current agreement. The service agreement is the main document regulating the relationship between the client and the contractor, and in practice there are cases when one of the parties does not fulfill its obligations in full.

What is the responsibility for services under the contract? Violation of the conditions can be initiated by both the customer and the contractor: in the first case, it is usually about non-payment of funds, in the second, there may be delays, poor quality of work, and other problems. In this case, the injured party draws up a statement of claim for the recovery of debt under a service agreement in order to recover it in court.

For legal advice

If a citizen orders legal assistance from a private firm, a service agreement is drawn up between them, which clearly indicates the work performed, the cost of each of them, penalties and additional information.

If a lawsuit is filed by a legal company against a private person (for example, in case of non-payment), the text should contain data on the work performed, the current cost of the services provided, and information about the legality of the company's activities is additionally required.

What laws to follow

Nuances of drafting, filing and consideration of such claims are regulated by several legislative and regulatory acts, including the following:

  • Decree of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 29 "On the application of civil procedural legislation" dated 11.12.12.
  • Article No. 395 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
  • Federal Law No. 143 "On acts of civil status" dated 11/15/97.
  • Federal Law No. 230 "On the protection of the rights and interests of individuals" dated 07/03/16.
  • A number of regional regulations that control the work of Russian courts.

Debt collection is carried out on the basis of the texts of these documents on a compulsory basis for both individuals and legal entities.

Sample statement of claim for the recovery of debt under a service agreement:

  • non-fulfillment by the party of the obligations specified in the contract;
  • delay, delay in the provision of services, delivery of products;
  • low quality of work performed;
  • low-skilled specialists are involved in the provision of services, while the contract provides for the work of more competent professionals;
  • unmotivated increase in the amount of payment that occurred through no fault of the plaintiff (for example, an increase in the cost of the service itself);
  • causing material damage in the course of work;
  • other reasons that are a violation of any clauses of the concluded agreement.

The injured party has the right to demand the following:

  • fulfillment of obligations under the concluded contract;
  • recognition of a unilateral change in the conditions prescribed in the document as unacceptable;
  • payment of funds due to the injured party under the contract;
  • collection of interest for the use of other people's finances during the entire period of delay (forfeit).

The specific list of requirements depends on which party violated the contract and the type of violation. The claim is filed with the arbitration court.

Additional documents

According to Article 126 of the Arbitration Code, a number of additional papers must be attached to the application.

These include the following documents:

  • papers that confirm the fact of sending by mail with notification of photocopies of this claim and additional documents to all parties involved in the conflict;
  • papers confirming that the plaintiff paid the state fee for the consideration of the claim;
  • documents that serve as confirmation of the violation of the rights of the plaintiff and non-compliance by the defendant with the obligations specified in the text of the contract;
  • photocopies of the certificate of state registration, if the plaintiff is a legal entity;
  • a notarized power of attorney or other documents that confirm the right to sign the application (relevant if the claim is filed by a representative, and not the plaintiff himself);
  • other papers that may be required by the arbitration court to clarify the circumstances of a particular case.

If the customer refuses to pay for the services rendered, the company must go to court to restore its rights, observing the rules for filing a claim and the rules for filing an application.

Features of claiming a debt through the court

The litigation process includes the following steps:

  1. Preparation of a pre-trial claim, an attempt to resolve the conflict peacefully.
  2. The collection of documents and the preparation of a claim, which lists all the circumstances, names the violations of the defendants of specific clauses of the contract and indicates the amount to be recovered by force.
  3. Payment of state duty. This can be done at any bank, including through a terminal or using online services. For a plaintiff who is a legal entity, the amount of the fee will be 4,000 rubles, and for an individual - 200 rubles. In the future, the plaintiff has the right to recover legal costs from the defendant, but their amount cannot exceed 60 thousand rubles. After paying the state fee, the receipt is attached to the set of documents and submitted to the arbitration court along with the claim.
  4. At the appointed time, the court considers the application, after which it issues a verdict. In the case of a compensatory transaction, the defendant is given a certain time to appeal the decision.
  5. In the case of re-consideration and confirmation of the decision or in the absence of a requirement to appeal the verdict, the next stage includes debt collection with the help of bailiffs or a writ of execution (the second option involves self-collection of funds).

In any case, an attempt must first be made to pre-trial settlement of the conflict: this will save time and costs for legal costs. In many cases, if the customer has temporary financial difficulties, it is possible to reach a compromise and achieve a phased payment for services. Only after that it is necessary to collect papers for the court.

The following documents may serve as an attachment to the claim:

  • the text of the agreement with signatures and seals;
  • additional agreements with the client;
  • acceptance certificates confirming that the customer has received the service in full;
  • examination certificates that confirm the proper quality of work;
  • reconciliation documents.

All papers must be endorsed by both parties, they must have the seals of the relevant organizations. Certified photocopies are provided for judicial consideration, original papers can be requested separately, for example, for expert verification. If it is impossible to claim a debt under a writ of execution, the plaintiff has the right to seek the help of bailiffs.

Litigation on:

Limitation period, by statute of limitations

Judicial practice on the application of the norms of Art. 200, 202, 204, 205 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

A service agreement is a specific agreement that reflects the rights and obligations of the parties, as well as the features of relations arising from the activities of the contractor to meet the needs of the user of the service. Parties to such an agreement can be both legal entities and individuals.

Often in this area there are numerous disputes related to the definition of the quality of work performed. To avoid various illegal situations, it is necessary to ensure the availability of evidence to resolve disputed cases.

Features of litigation under a service agreement are determined not only by legislative and regulatory acts. Also, the experience and competence of the employees of the arbitration institution in such situations have a significant impact on the course of the case.

Main provisions

Debt collection under a service agreement, like any procedure, has a certain procedure, features and conditions. Such activities are regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in particular, Chapter 39. Disagreements on the agreement may arise as a result of some misunderstanding of the very concept of paid services, since the code does not define it precisely enough.

For example, judicial practice establishes that agreements for the repair of a vehicle and housing stock are considered as paid services. But in fact, the court often characterizes them as a work contract or a mixed type agreement.

To protect yourself from such research, it is recommended to seek legal advice from a legal specialist.

At the conclusion of the contract, the parties undertake to comply with all its conditions. In particular, the contractor must provide quality services, and the customer is obliged to pay for his activities in a timely manner.

This type of agreement has some peculiarities. If they are not taken into account, then the document will not have legal force.

In this situation, much depends on the particular court, since their position can vary significantly. For example, some institutions tend to think that the defining conditions are the subject and the price, while others consider only the subject. To minimize the risk of trouble in the contract, both nuances should be noted.

It is also worth considering that it is necessary to indicate in the document the obligation of the customer to pay for the services provided. Otherwise, the court may recognize it as gratuitous, and the performer will not be able to receive the money.

In order to avoid the occurrence of inadequate situations, it is necessary to prescribe in the contract as accurately as possible all the possible conditions and features of the agreement, which will significantly minimize the risks in the future.

Related nuances

Legal aspects

The legislation of the Russian Federation makes it possible to ensure the protection of property interests in the event of certain violations in the concluded agreement. Initially, preference is given to solving the problem without the intervention of the relevant services. If this is not possible, then the next step is to consider the case by the judicial authorities.

With the help of a claim, you can ensure the resolution of a disputed situation on your own. This will reduce the duration of the proceedings, paperwork - as a result, the funds will be returned to the contractor in a short time. No exact sample of such a document is provided.

But the main parameters that must be indicated in the claim are defined:

  • grounds for accepting obligations;
  • violation by the participant of the agreement for payment for services;
  • a claim for the return of a debt;
  • possible consequences in case of refusal of voluntary cooperation.

If the claim was not satisfied, then the injured party has the right to appeal to the court.

The collection of debt under the contract in a judicial proceeding is determined by a number of points:

Jurisdiction of the dispute The claim is filed with the relevant authorities at the place of residence of the defendant. The level of court depends on the size of the debt and the nature of the conflict. In particular, arbitration deals with cases between commercial organizations.
The correctness of the application The claim must be drawn up in accordance with legal norms, otherwise the case will not be initiated.

The document reflects the following aspects:

  • the name of the judicial authority;
  • information about the participants in the dispute;
  • circumstances of violation of legislative norms;
  • plaintiff's claims.
Required documents The exact list is regulated by the type of procedure. Obviously, an individual must provide less documentation than a legal entity. But for any consideration, copies of the passport or certificates of registration of the organization, as well as a receipt for payment of the fee, are required. Its amount correlates with the size of the plaintiff's claims.

It is not always possible to recover funds. In this case, a debt forgiveness agreement is drawn up between legal entities.

Each individual debt collection procedure has its own nuances - this is determined by the characteristics of the participants and the course of the evidence process.

Features of the procedure

Features of drawing up a contract for the provision of services, the nuances of fulfilling the obligations of the agreement and the conditions for conducting litigation regarding violations - all this has a significant impact on the final decision of the court, therefore, it is necessary to carefully consider:

  • the requirements that apply to the quality of services are determined by the established standards in the contract;
  • when fulfilling the agreement, the contractor cannot provide a guarantee to the customer about the effectiveness of the result, since this is not included in his scope of obligations;
  • the contract is considered concluded only when it reflects the specific actions of the contractor or indicates a certain activity;
  • in the case of litigation, any materials may be used as evidence, during the consideration of which it is possible to determine the fact of fulfillment of the obligations of a party;
  • any risk that the performance of the service agreement is not possible, belongs only to the customer;
  • if the contractor has not provided the customer with timely information about certain circumstances that impede the achievement of the efficiency of the provision of services, then in the future he does not have the right to demand compensation based on this information;
  • the limitation period for a case of poor performance of obligations is one year, and not three - in accordance with the general rules.

The study of such features is necessary to achieve a positive court decision in the event of a trial.

Arbitrage practice

When considering by the judicial authorities the situation on the recovery of compensation for the services rendered, the determining aspect is taken into account: the proportionality of the payment and the actual activities of the performer.

For a more complete understanding of such a procedure, consider as an example a claim for judicial practice:

  • As plaintiff and defendant: Ivanova A.A. and Petrov B.B. An agreement was concluded between the participants in the case for the provision of legal services, according to which the plaintiff ensures the protection of the interests of the defendant during the trial. Payment - 10 thousand rubles and 10% of the amount of funds won in the process. The defendant did not comply with the latter condition.
  • Petrov B.B. explained his refusal by the fact that Ivanova A.A. she did her job in bad faith - she attended the meeting only once. In addition, the defendant refused to file a response to the appeal. Therefore, the plaintiff did so on his own. It is also worth considering that at this time he had poor health due to the presence of lung cancer.
  • The agreement reflects the main actions of Ivanova A.A., according to which she must protect the interests of her client at all stages of the judicial procedure. In this consideration, it is considered obvious that the defendant did not fulfill its obligations to the plaintiff. In addition, the payment of interest in case of winning the case is considered illegal, therefore invalidated.

When these circumstances of the case were revealed, the court decided that the payment for the work of the plaintiff in 10 thousand rubles was sufficient. As for the additional amount, it is unacceptable, so the claim was not satisfied.

Written confirmations

Any consideration of the case involves the mandatory provision of certain written or material evidence that allows you to establish the fact of the provision of services:

The presence of evidence determines the decision of the trial, therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant situations, adequate protection should be provided in advance in the event of a trial.

The possibility of collecting debts under a service agreement

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation defines the process of legal liability for violation of the obligations of the concluded agreement. In particular, Article 330 establishes the possibility of collecting a penalty - a certain monetary compensation.

In accordance with the law "On Protection of Consumer Rights", the amount of the penalty for non-fulfillment of the terms of the contract is 3% from the total cost of the work done. It should be understood that in fact the price of a claim depends on many features of the proceedings.

The amount of the penalty must be determined adequately, otherwise the court may reject the request for debt collection. For this reason, it is recommended to leave the calculation of the price of the claim to a professional lawyer.

In addition to applying to the judiciary, you can collect debts in other ways: through pre-trial voluntary settlement of a conflict situation, with the help of a special claim - it is drawn up by a specialist and acquires the status of an official document.

If there is a situation of violation of the obligations established by the service agreement, in order to achieve a positive result, you should seek help and advice from a qualified lawyer.

Controversial cases

It seems possible to recover compensation from the customer for violation of the terms of the contract only in a situation where the agreement reflects specific actions or certain activities that the contractor is obliged to implement, in other words, the subject of work.

If this category is not indicated in the document, and there is no actual evidence of the provision of services, then the performing party will not be able to recover the funds even in court. And although such a condition seems to be obvious, in practice this happens quite often - the parties to the agreement do not always provide a reflection of the type and volume of services provided.

Debt is a reason to worry about the possibility of the lender starting to collect debts. It is difficult to protect your rights on your own, but legal advice will help solve the problems that have arisen. Site experts will analyze the situation:

1. Arrest of accounts and real estate

Unfulfilled obligations lead to the seizure of the debtor's property. This measure is used to fulfill the material requirements of creditors. After the seizure of the debtor's property has been carried out, this property can be treated as follows:

  • hand over to the claimant
  • sell during auction
  • confiscate in favor of the state.

Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation of December 18, 2001 N 174-FZ (as amended on December 27, 2018) (as amended and supplemented, entered into force on January 8, 2019), Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation Art. 115. Seizure of property:

In order to ensure the execution of a sentence in terms of a civil claim, the recovery of a fine, other property penalties or possible confiscation of property specified in the first part of Article 104.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the investigator, with the consent of the head of the investigative body or the interrogating officer, with the consent of the prosecutor, file a petition with the court to seize the property of the suspect, the accused or persons who are legally liable for their actions.

The proven commission of an administrative, criminal offense implies the onset of responsibility and the application to a citizen who has violated the law of additional punishment in the form of deprivation of property.

Often, citizens who do not have experience in litigation are sure that the conclusion of an agreement prevents the occurrence of problems with the return of debts.

The collection of debts from legal entities in a pre-trial procedure is drawn up as follows:

  1. It is considered effective to start closing the debt by drawing up an agreement and negotiating.
  2. When the contract provides for a claim procedure, the lender may send a claim to the other party.

In cases where pre-trial settlement has not brought results, it is necessary to go to court. Legal support and expert assistance will help to achieve satisfaction of the claim and return the money.

5. How to collect a penalty

When one of the parties violates obligations, it pays the other the funds prescribed in the contract. The amount of finance paid can be represented as a percentage or a fixed amount. The penalty clause must be spelled out in the contract, otherwise you will not be able to receive this compensation. Such a condition, which is correctly formulated, encourages both parties to comply with the provisions of the contract.

  • refusal to pay according to the contract or delay in payments made (in the second case, the amount is paid in equal installments within a certain time);
  • when the defendant does not provide actual evidence of the deposit of funds into the plaintiff's account.

If such situations happened to you, in the statement of claim you can demand the proper fulfillment of obligations. According to the law, one of the parties is not entitled to change the terms of the agreement, which means that the need to pay for the services rendered remains.
