Dear subscribers, let's start with the fact that in the Register of debtors can be unreasonable only in two cases:1) the debtor fulfilled the obligations of the enforcement proceedings, but did not submit the document to the shipper. For example, a receipt for payment;2) incorrectly entered data (name, first name, patronymic and date of birth, IIN).In the first case, in order to prove that you are not a debtor, you must provide a proof of absence of the debt, in the second - a copy of the identity card.You can also present your situation on the Ministry's website without leaving your home www.adilet.gov.kz or appeal to the territorial organization of justice. The evidence will be immediately deleted.If the bailiffs make any mistake,the result of which are financial or moral costs,You can file a claim with the court for damages.Over the past 3 years, there have been about four cases where different people have the same last name, first name and patronymic.The risk of entering incorrect evidence is a problem.The exclusion of such errors remains to this day an urgent task for the Ministry.At the moment, work is under way to integrate government information systems.This will help automate the data entry process.The system will do this itself, based on data from the writ of execution.  To date, more than 1.5 million people are enrolled in the register of debtors for executive production.They appear in it as a result of non-fulfillment of their obligations to the recoverers.In order not to get into the register of debtors, the residents of the country must voluntarily fulfill the obligations imposed on them,and at least occasionally check for fines.For example, on the website of the Committee on Legal Statistics and Special Accounts of the General Prosecutor's Office (http://pravstat.prokuror.kz/rus), MIA (http://mvd.gov.kz/portal/page/portal/mvd/MVD).This will allow timely detection of violations and pay them voluntarily.Why is it necessary?The grounds for initiating enforcement proceedings may be,for example, not payment violation,fixed by "speedometer",When this violation becomes known after some time,or when the court decision to collect the debt was made in absentia and the debtor himself does not know about it.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/adilet/press/news/details/10946?lang=kk

Today the Almaty Mayor’s Administration and the Almaty City Court have signed a Memorandum on a mutual cooperation in the field of development and active implementation of the institutes of pre-trial and extrajudicial settlement of conflicts.The Memorandum on cooperation has been signed by the Mayor of Almaty Bauyrzhan Baybek and the Head of the Almaty City Court Akzhan Yeshtay.During the arrangement, the Mayor of Almaty emphasized that signing this Memorandum on cooperation has the only goal - ensuring harmony and stability in society."One of the ways of extrajudicial settlement of disputes is mediation.
