Meanwhile, she said that it is possible to write off part of the pensioner's debts even in the process of judicial consideration of the dispute about their recovery.
“For this, the pensioner must declare that the plaintiff-claimant has missed the statute of limitations.
Art.
207 of the Civil Code of Russia limits the period of possible debt collection to three years, with the exception of certain obligations to which the limitation period does not apply or its period is reduced, ”Nogailiyeva told the Prime agency.
She added that the main tool for releasing a pensioner from debt obligations is the bankruptcy procedure of a citizen.
“At the same time, the term “bankruptcy” does not carry any negative connotation, but only means that a person cannot fulfill his obligations and his debts must be written off,” emphasizes Nogailiyeva.
Earlier, Andrey Girinsky, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Economics of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, said that this year a number of benefits are provided for pensioners related to exemption from a number of duties and payments.
According to him, pensioners will not pay land tax and property tax.
