The executor claims that he no longer pays two costs for the black ride. Prague criticized him
Executor Juraj Podkonický enters within the so-called love summer from charging a double fee for stopping execution for fines that are collected from black passengers. According to Hospodářské noviny, he announced this to a Prague transport company. Until now, the executor considered the part to be an unpaid ticket and the fine from the revision to be two separate debts. The Prague leadership criticized him for his actions.
Executor Juraj Podkonický claimed that he was following the law, despite criticism from the Prague transport company. He demanded two termination fees after the people who were caught in public transport without a valid document execution. One for an unpaid ticket, the other for a fine. The debtor thus had to pay 1815 crowns instead of 907.50 crowns.
But now Podkonický has announced that he does not and will not practice the practice he previously defended.
“In all files that end within the ‘love summer’, I charge only one executor’s cost of 750 crowns plus VAT, regardless of the number of principals in the enforcement order. There is therefore no case in which the enforcement proceedings were stopped in violation of the above instruction. , and it is therefore not true that I would charge double the executor ‘s costs, “Podkonický wrote according to Hospodářské noviny in a letter to Petr Witowski, director of the transport company.
The gracious summer, which began on October 28 this year and ends on January 28, 2022, concerns debtors of public institutions and companies. If they pay the original amount due and pay a fee of CZK 908 to the executor, they will forgive them penalties, interest and other payments.
According to the daily, Podkonický admits that during the initial calculation of the amounts due, some debtors could be charged a payment for other recovered principal in addition to the principal. At the same time, however, he states in the letter that he has not violated any rights of the debtors and that all decisions issued contain only one reimbursement of costs, as recommended by the transport company.
At the beginning of December, the Prague Transport Company called on executors to stop charging double flat-rate compensation to stop execution on a case-by-case basis. The carrier considers the sum of the fare and the fare surcharge in each individual case to be one claim, one principal, and therefore one enforcement order. The company agreed to merge into one execution with all executors except Podkonický.
Podkonický was also criticized by Prague councilor Hana Kordová Marvanová (for STAN) for charging double compensation. “In my legal opinion, the fare, including the surcharge, is one principal, one receivable, so the executor should legally charge the debtor only a flat fee of CZK 908 for the costs of execution, and not a double fee,” Marvanová said in early December.
