Bad Faith Actions of Professional Collectors and How to Fight Them

The article is devoted to the practice of one of the public authorities — the enforcement body, which in its activities is faced with unfair behavior of business entities of law — so-called “professional recoverers” (collection agencies, credit, microcredit and microfinance organizations), in various forms abusing the right to appeal (petition) in the course of enforcement proceedings, and, despite the fact that their activities are subject to administrative supervision by the enforcement authority, trying to control the behavior of the latter, use in their own in the interests of the federal budget funds, to cover the costs they need, to distract from the regular positive work of the bailiff on the execution of acts of judicial and other bodies and officials. Based on multiple cases from practice, the author raises the problem of abuse of law by business entities, and makes proposals of an organizational and legal nature to solve the problems outlined.
