pay. what happens to people who don't pay their bills. how successful a collection agencies. this is. fifty kilometers from st petersburg. taking people who don't pay their utility bills to their office. i guess they're expecting us. the law. from taking any action after ten pm before six am or on weekends that's why they start work at six o'clock sharp some may have already left for work still sleeping.

we need to see the. yes you need to deliver here to the office of the. of. his we must deliver you so you know. you haven't. major utility bill. picked up from across the town these people haven't paid their electricity gas and water bills for months. they don't know yet about to take part in a big reality show t.v. cameras waiting for them at the bailiff service office.

and the head of the municipal court. in january two thousand and nine unpaid utility bills accounted for half of. january. the first p.r. campaign acting on a. company by t.v. crews. apartment and delivered service in february local residents not only paid their bills in full but even settled some of their debts after that decided to organize such campaigns on a regular basis. for the sake of who will watch the. local officials are explaining to sleepy delinquent bill payers happen to them unless they settle their debts in the meantime ten uniformed female bailiffs are getting ready to hand in court papers to the debtors. do i show my id.

to the other man. the bailiff screen entrance is an important part of the show t.v. viewers must see the people and there's no need to be afraid of them as long as you follow the rules and pay your debts the papers have been served but that's not the end. the bus. seats a little uncomfortable. but is there any bus when. the bus takes the debtor's to see similar shacks. this is where these people will have to move unless they start paying for utilities . in this house you will fix them up a little there's no central heating no water just

a. real are not the scare tactics proving stream we convincing two people out of nine pay their debts on the spot if a person refuses to pay even after a tour of the shacks bailiffs go to their house to impound their property. refrigerator. dish unused estimated valley one thousand five hundred roubles while taking an inventory beginning his subordinates continue putting psychological pressure on the debtor the t.v. set cost seven thousand rubles but they appraise it it only seven hundred seven unders too little. seven hundred fifty i'm sorry i can't help it i want a new t.v. this will. include the goldfish. and

other t.v. . ok they get five hundred rubles. off and. i guess humor is my way of protecting myself against the stress. if you take everything you see to hot. all of consider games bailiff's or female each of them has experienced what they call a professional transformation they've learned to show no pity whatsoever to the debtor but these outwardly tough and sarcastic women have human feelings like anybody else . unfortunately i'm not wearing a tie right now. in that. they often come to my office sit down next to me and start crying before you know it they grab my time

i wipe off the tears with it back to washington almost daily. nevertheless contain their emotions flawlessly even if they do business with celebrities or sports stars such. a short while ago police detained. the former goalkeeper for russia's national football team at an international airport outside moscow. to find out because you on the phone i talk to myself if you talk to me i never talk to you. you see we can ask the phone company to produce call records ok do it and. the goalkeeper owes about twenty six thousand dollars in alimony payments his former wife went to court and now cannot leave russia without paying the debt. because the visible but if you don't pay the debts we will see easy

a ticket you return it to the airline the money goes into your wife's account we won't what else we can impound of your property you are still not free to leave russia so if you go back to moscow in the case of russia's former goalkeeper bailiffs have used a method of so-called reputation influence such methods are usually used in collection agencies. this is a relatively new business in russia many people still think debt collectors are bandits who extort money through violence but let me stress this is a myth we often use myths in our work people are afraid of us that's good that doesn't mean we are doing something illegal and they're afraid of us means they will take care of their problem more quickly with a debt collection agency today needs a nice office charming employees and an understanding of the debtor psychology these people get up to fifty percent of the collected amount for their services.

here's how debt collectors often work at first the woman with a gentle voice calls the debtor and tries to persuade him to pay off the debt the agency's director says single mothers from twenty five to forty years of age are ideal for the job. i don't know if this piazza. listening this is a data collection agency calling yes that's me how you paid your debt. no not yet i don't have the money right now. so i understand but you know last month you did it was only two thousand and twenty roubles this month it's all way to four thousand six hundred fourteen. i will pay it before the end of this month to be sure. we tell the person what will happen to him unless he starts paying first of all we tell him we will send a letter to your boss so he knows your dishonest person then we'll send this information to your relatives and neighbors after that we'll get court bailiff and

we'll come together with a court bailiffs to impound your property when dealing with women we often tell them do you really want bally's to come to your house and walk on your fine carpets and their dirty boots do you really want this. debt collectors methods are generally effective up to thirty five percent of debtors return the money a very good rate most people do their best to pay off the debt in order to save their reputation. almost fifty percent of russians use bank loans people often borrow money to buy appliances furniture or new cars. psychologist claim that people are often tricked by easy access to loans and may not truly realize they'll have to return the money sooner or later and this is the first symptom of being addicted to other people's money. two years ago psychologist

came up with the concept of credit mania. i'd say it doesn't go beyond the limit of what is acceptable but it's still a deviation it's an obsessive desired to buy things on credit without the realisation that you'll have to repay all these loans. psychologist believe up to one and a half percent of russians suffer from credit mania these are usually junk people with a good income and the prospects of career growth they don't yet have enough money to buy an expensive car or a nice apartment so they try to solve their problems by taking out loans they can no longer live without other people's money. or very impressionable. they are proactive and to a high degree of their behavior may be determined by emotions there is no great logic in the as actual. with more and more debtors the burden of payment often

falls on others. wealthy british style. markets finance scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two kinds of reports. and discoveries.

communicate with the wild. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you on. the economic crisis dealt a serious blow to the credit market in russia. interest rates went up making it more difficult to pay off debts sophistic syndicated the percentage of overdue loans has jumped from three to twelve percent. so. this is the village of me in the could have done region two thousand kilometers east of moscow there have been several major bankruptcies in this little village over the last few years local businessmen took out a lot of loans to develop their companies and then simply disappeared now bailiffs come to their guarantors to collect the money from them. hello barely if that if i

haven't a fare for you. i know who you are thanks come to wait to say goodbye to you forever . lydia aleksey of the lives in an old wooden house her little garden with a few hens and old t.v. and a washing machine is all she has all of this has long been impounded several years ago lydia worked at a local food company the company director and. asked lydia to sign her loan application as a guarantor lidia agreed and soon the director ran into economic problems. oh you didn't report it and i think she was on to a lot of pressure we have she was afraid to stay here any longer and so she took off and now we have to cover all has done it's like this with the love. lydia like seven now has to pay off two hundred fifty thousand roubles for her former boss that's forty five times more than her monthly pension the dia will have to pay for another person's debt for the next thirty eight years. i'm left with

only room chinese to hang myself. but. when i sound comes i want to be able to feed him properly. fifteen people were guarantors on much of his loans to attend the beak of also worked at the company to genesis she could not refuse to sign the guarantee a musician she was boss you know so well under pressure in these hard times nobody wants to lose their jobs. today pays half of what she earns to cover what her former director owes her property has also been impounded known to john is able to talk about her problems without getting angry the main lesson she's learned is that she won't ever be a guarantor again even if it's her closest friend who asks. how nick's and so forth now it's more like quite bad i have to pay this money anyway either i pay it to

voluntarily or they will deduct it from my salary. in charge of the case would be happy to find the throes of the company's former director and collect the debt from her rather than torment her. the only problem is both the debtor and her property are gone. up a new number you haven't done it and doesn't exist please try again only. locating a fugitive debtor is one of the most challenging tasks for bailiffs according to law they cannot impound and so property unless they have proved that it belongs to the debtor this is a loophole for many evading their debts they simply register their apartments and cars as belonging to their relatives and get a low income job or move elsewhere. these people have come to the bailiff's office . looking for justice for three years now furniture company owner said of his owed almost one hundred fifty people money the businessman collected almost three million rubles in down payments get his customers never got their furniture. you're

not doing your job. you're not executing court order we don't care how you find them you are not doing the job. in the meantime the bailiffs have impounded all the property that was registered inside against amount of snail but it's made up for only three percent of the debt the businessman rebreather the rest of his property and his wife and sons names and has been in hiding for a few months now. we've done everything the loan executing course permits the property and froze the debtors bank accounts. all these measures and. the bailiff is going to make another attempt to locate the fugitive this time together with our camera crew the bailiff goes to the debtors wife she continues to take orders for furniture she doesn't ferd different company . i need to talk to.

people i'm not going to talk to anybody. we just talked for a second you know you cocked. as a rule bailiffs go out to execute court orders and usually it's two women today they've come to a local company in penza. to see and the safety let's go out to myself company bosses are clearly not happy to see the bailiffs they're dragging their feet they're not willing to open the cash register and part ways with their money. show me where the cash is what cash for september there was no cash in september no revenues acceptable thinks through both the head of the company gets almost hysterical when he sees the bailiffs he's afraid of attacking government officials

so he turns his rage against the t.v. camera instead we get this camera out of here i said get out of here. turn off your camera get out of here. what are you doing here i said get out. get out. in case of emergency get to physical with the bailiffs the rapid reaction squad is on the ready. tons handcuffs tear gas pistols and submachine guns the rapid reaction force has the same authority as a swat team and is armed according. this must be clearly visible of course that they are negative towards us sometimes they call us nazis. because people need to vent their anger when their property is being seized . these members of the bill of service have regular shooting practice.

ready to fire. each member of the rapid reaction squad as an athlete most often experts there's even a special martial arts training program designed specifically for. your not an enemy helping him learn this technique so relax a little let's start again that out i go. had no background in martial arts before he joined the rapid reaction squad he's a football player the captain of the pens a bill of service football team the team plays in between indoor football tournaments yes dozens of awards for a ticket she meant. when i came back from the army

when i was playing in a local tournaments and somebody invited me to join his son. team. at first city games parents didn't like his new job there was too much negative press about bailiffs but now the situation has changed. people realize we're not. we're acting on a court order. we're not doing this on our own initiative. but even in a quiet town like pens there are places where go without special support. the entire rapid reaction squad is on its way to a roma village they're carrying their guns to protect themselves against a potentially emotional reaction. as a sound bite here on a cord bank rate why don't you pay your debts we have no money that you would then else back to your property no. prophecy i don't have anything this is all i have

what are you going to take a look at my pilates. used to paying utility bills are the land tax no hurry to pay off the debts they've run up over many months they claim they can't get a job or what can you tell you something then fortune telling you everything if you're trying to get a job at a factory but they were told you're illiterate you're gypsies and when you don't have anything for you you have they want us to pay for electricity for guests for water discounts no favors in. the main objective of the rapid reaction squad is to protect the executive bailiff in the past there were several attacks on court bailiffs in the roma village this time everything was quiet but there have been situations in which people attacked squad members with firearms pitchforks or axis . what are you doing ok lady give me the x. back. almost. constant psychological pressure is the most difficult part of their

job perhaps that's the reason only psychologically stable people can work here. as one of the most experienced workers at the service she's been working here for fifteen years. i'm ready to go. the is going out to execute a court order she's accompanied by her son. he's been working as a court bailiff for two years now jobs to protect executive bailiffs and today is the first time he'll protect his own mother. which of these chord oda says you must present your vehicle tomorrow at seven am please sign these forms. started a dynasty of bailiffs. in addition to her and her elder son out of two of works in the system as well. bailiff to do should reporting nothing out of order

business as usual. during the day attitude is posted as a guard at the regional court building in the evening he usually accompanies executive bailiffs he comes home late his wife at the door now the whole family's here mother brother and little ksenia. how i did he says here. prior to seeing his birth also worked as a bailiff she met her future husband at work he was assigned to protect her now as to her takes care of all go all the time not only at work he just seems new strong he's brave he's not afraid of anything he always protects me he wanted anybody mistreat me. to dish and dynasty includes four bailiffs the four runner natalia hopes the tradition will continue and her little granddaughter same year will follow in her footsteps and one of the with which. one mind reading delta was born my colleagues send me a text message congratulations and not the cord bailiff born. since the

start of the global financial crisis the number of delinquent debtors in russia has increased significantly the court bailiffs say they would be happy to run out of work some day but this isn't going to happen because debt is part of our financial system and for many people human nature we like to borrow money and not everyone is always willing or able to pay it back. immediately after the second world war major nazi leaders were put on trial for war however questions linger about victor's justice which is the.
