Home/Debts to housing and communal services/For gas
Section 7 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation provides information on the procedures, terms and nuances of payment for utility services (Articles 153-160). According to these norms, citizens undertake to repay bills on time and in full. Gas supply is no exception. The amount is calculated based on the availability of metering devices, the intended purpose of the territory in which gas is used, tariffs, and subsidies. In practice, it is not uncommon for gas debts to arise. Is it possible to find out information on them and how to calculate the debt for an order - the answers will be discussed in the article.
Is it possible to find out the debt for gas?
The amount of payment for utility services is regulated by Art. 157 Housing Code of the Russian Federation. If the homeowner made a mistake or intentionally paid less than the tariff or meter suggests, a debt is generated.

Attention
Like information on other debts to the state, information on gas debt can be found quite simply and can be done in several ways.
What does balance mean?
The term balance means the difference between the accrual and actual payment by the user of the expense item included in the housing and communal services receipt.
The difference can arise for any item, including when paying for water, gas, electricity. The reasons for the appearance of a balance may be:
- Late payment for housing and communal services in the previous period, as a result of which the information has not yet entered the database;
- Lack of meter readings for consumed resources in the reporting period;
- Failure to pay utility bills for the previous period.
There are rarely failures in the banks' funds transfer system whereby the money does not arrive in the recipient's account on time, so the consumer receives a receipt with a debt when in fact the bill was paid on time. In this case, it is recommended to save the payment receipt until you receive a receipt for the next reporting period to verify that the information is reflected correctly.
The balance can be of three types:
- Positive, i.e. the payer has a debt to pay for this item of services provided.
- Negative, i.e. the payer overpaid for the service according to the data available to the management company.
- Zero, i.e. there is a cross or a dash in the column, which means there is no debt or overpayment in the reporting period.
If payments are made on time and meter readings are submitted on time, then the balance in the receipt will be zero and the consumer will not need to recalculate the housing and communal services fee to check charges. When the positive balance increases and the consumer does not pay off the debt, the management company has the right to suspend the provision of utility services. The supply of electricity, gas, and water may be turned off. Fines and penalties will be assessed until the debt is fully repaid.
In some regions, the “Balance” column has been replaced by the “Debt/overpayment” to make it easier for the payer to understand the charges.
Typically, the indicator in the housing and communal services receipt is set as incoming, i.e., as of the beginning of the reporting period, and outgoing, i.e., at the end of the month. Payment is made based on the closing balance at the end of the reporting period.
Ways to obtain information about gas debts
To obtain the required information about debt for gas, it is enough to have your personal account number and/or address on hand. Depending on the information the owner prefers to use, the appropriate method is selected:
- the Internet is the simplest and most immediate option when you need to get information about gas debts urgently, but it is not possible to go to specialized services for this;
- service provider (RSO) or management company (MC) - these structures are informants No. 1, so within their walls you can get information about the amount of the current debt for gas, the date from which it began to form, the foam that “dripped” over the entire period ;
- at the cash settlement center , by standing in line and contacting the cashier, you can obtain a complete set of data on the status of your personal account;
- in a banking organization by contacting a working operator-consultant or self-service device (terminal);
- in the hotline service by dialing the phone number of the management company and providing a brief information about the owner of the home.
In case of violation of Art. 155 “Paying fees for utilities” of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, you can contact these authorities and find out everything about your own debts and ways to compensate for them.
How to find out if you have a debt to housing and communal services
Even 20 years ago, the amount of the debt could only be found out in the housing and communal services departments. And no one thought about where to pay for the service. Everyone gathered at the management company.
Only their opening hours are limited, and the queues here are always long. But if only this option is acceptable to you, then take your personal account number, passport with you, or simply dictate your address to the operator.
If you have lost your receipt or do not remember your account number, then it is better to find out the status of your personal account from the management company . You will need a passport. Sometimes they also ask for documents for the apartment.
Without a receipt, you can also find out the status of your account. Write down or remember your personal account number. According to it, the operator will pay off your debt if you definitely decide to repay everything.
IMPORTANT! All data on the status of the personal account is constantly updated, so the gas consumer will always have only reliable information.
You can check payment on your personal account via the Internet (portal, banks, electronic wallets, terminals) and during a personal visit to the HOA .
Who can find out the gas debt?
Possession of information about the amount of debt for gas is the legal authority of the following persons:
- owners of privatized housing;
- main tenants of apartments under a social tenancy agreement;
- tenants living in the premises on the basis of a lease agreement;
- authorized representatives of the owner, acting on the basis of a notarized permission - power of attorney).
IMPORTANT
In Art. 153 states that the obligation to pay for utility services is assigned to persons who live in the apartment, although responsibility for this moment falls on the owner.
Necessary documents and information to obtain information
The list of documents required to be provided to specialists of various services when obtaining information on gas debt depends on the chosen method of action. Traditionally, a payer who is late must provide the following documents:
- a form filled out according to the proposed form (it is issued by employees of the relevant services);
- a receipt indicating the personal account number and the fact of the debt;
- identification card of the owner or responsible tenant;
- a document confirming the ownership of the home;
- power of attorney (if an authorized person is acting).
To obtain a complete set of data, you need to have the following information:
- Full name of the owner;
- number value of the personal account;
- the actual address of the home, the owner of which was late in payment;
- contact phone number.
Step-by-step instructions for obtaining information about gas debt
The population has several options at its disposal. The first group involves personal attendance at certain branches, while the second allows you to obtain information through the World Wide Web. If you have free time and do not want to understand network technologies, you can:
- visit a Gazprom branch;
- go to the office of the management organization servicing the multi-apartment building;
- contact any branch of a financial credit institution.
A step-by-step algorithm of actions aimed at obtaining information about gas debts looks approximately as follows.
- Go to the office and speak to the employee at the checkout or to the consultant in the hall.
- Provide your passport and latest documentation on payment of utility bills.
- Ask the authority employee all your questions.
- If necessary, request a printed document about the current status of your personal account.
For your information,
the procedure takes about 5 minutes, but due to the inconvenient work schedule and the limited number of employees for the entire population, you will most likely have to wait in line, especially if you arrive during peak working hours (after 17.00). Therefore, this method is relevant for people who do not understand the Internet and do not have access to it. Most often it is used by pensioners. However, using this method, you can obtain not only a list of the necessary information, but also detailed advice on the structure of the fee for utilities (Article 154 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).
By personal account
Identification of consumers is carried out by the resource supplier using an assigned individual personal account. If the owner knows the number of such an account, the debt can be found out directly from the house using the methods discussed below.
Internet
If you have free access to the Internet, information about the amount of debt can be obtained directly on the Gorgaz website. Each registered consumer receives access to a personal account, through which information about the status of payments is exchanged, information about the readings of individual metering devices is provided, and payment for consumed resources is made.
To clarify the amount of debt through the Gorgaz website, you must:
- Register on the resource, indicating your personal data and personal account number, log into your personal account by entering your individual login and password.
- Familiarize yourself with the data presented regarding the current state of affairs regarding payment for resources.
The site address can be found through a search program, in a service agreement, on social networks and other available sources of information.
In addition to the Gorgaz website, data on the amount of debt can be obtained via the Internet using the following means:
- Web banking – similar services are provided by many banks.
- Electronic wallets - these sites, in addition to electronic money, offer customers the option of paying for utilities. At the same time, you can clarify the amount of outstanding payment.
- Specialized resources - this type of help is offered by numerous websites through which you can find out the amount of debt and pay for services.
Using the listed resources, the consumer can obtain the necessary information. It is enough to know the name of the supplier organization and the personal account number.
Public services
The State Services portal is another resource that allows you to obtain the necessary information. To do this, the owner must first register and log in to the site, gaining access to his personal account. Authorization verifies the user's identity and is achieved through:
- applying to the post office with a civil passport or other equivalent document;
- MFC;
- web banking or electronic signature.
We recommend: Is it legal to install an electric meter on a pole?
After registering and confirming your identity, to clarify the amount of gas payment debt, you must complete the following steps:
- Login to your personal page.
- From the proposed tabs, select “Apartment, construction and land”.
- Refer to the subsection on payment for housing and communal services.
- Read the information provided on the screen and confirm receipt of the service by pressing the button.
- Select the required organization from the list provided.
- Enter your personal account number and receive the necessary information.
You can then pay for services remotely, via a bank card or web banking.
Terminals
Another way is to use the terminal. These devices are installed in public places and allow the consumer to obtain information about the amount of debt and pay for the services provided.
The owner must select the appropriate service, organization and indicate the personal account number. The information will be presented on the screen.
By phone
The payer can obtain the necessary information by calling the Gorgaz customer service department by phone. The number may be specified in the service agreement. You can also find it through the help desk or on the Internet.
The caller may be asked to provide additional information to verify their identity as the information is provided to the direct owner of the property. But in this case, you won’t have to waste time on a visit to Gorgaz.
Obtaining information about debt via the Internet
The lion's share of companies supplying utilities have official websites. After completing the short-term registration procedure, you can obtain information about the current state of affairs regarding payment, late payments, debt under the Civil Code, and subsidies (Article 159 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation). The first option is to access the website of the management organization. To find out the amount of debt for gas, you need to follow the algorithm.
- Go to the HOA or RSO, UK resource.
- Go through the registration and authorization procedure.
- Log in to your personal account.
- Enter data about the number value of the personal account.
- Wait for the latest information to be displayed on the screen.
Additional information
Some services are ready to provide, i.e. the registration process does not go through. But their number is small, and the information provided may be incorrect. Therefore, the official resources of management organizations deserve the greatest attention.
The second option is to act through Internet banking. To do this, you need to follow a certain algorithm of actions.
- Go to the official resource of the financial and credit organization. If desired and possible, you can act through a special mobile application.
- Find the housing and communal services section and the sub-item “payments, money transfers”.
- Specify the recipient organization.
- Fill in all the fields required by the system. This is the number value of the personal account, full name, address.
- After this, you can expect materials about the accumulated debt to appear on the screen.
The disadvantage of this method is that if you want to get information about all the penalties and fines, you will not be able to do this.
The third option is to access the state portal, in other words - PUBLIC SERVICES. Perhaps this is the easiest and most relevant way to obtain information. However, the difficulty lies in the lengthy registration procedure on the resource.
- You need to go to it and create a profile.
- The system will require you to enter SNILS, phone number or email.
- Then you need to come to the office in person and confirm your identity.
- Wait for the email with the code to arrive.
- Start using the services.
Having done this work once, the user can count on permanent access to the service. To check information about gas debts, you need to do the following.
- Visit your personal account (you will need SNILS or mail number).
- Find the tab with payment for housing and communal services (in the payments section).
- Fill in the required fields and enter your and the recipient's details.
- Wait to receive information about the debt.
- If possible, pay it off.
Attention:
The system stores payment history, so it will provide you with 100% reliable information.
How to find out your personal gas bill by address and debt for housing and communal services
Citizens using public services are required to pay for them on time. This also applies to the use of gas supply services.
In order to efficiently administer gas payments, service users are assigned an account. It allows consumers to make monthly payments.
You can find out personal gas accounts at a person’s residential address using one of the methods discussed.
How to find out your personal gas bill
An account is a set of numbers. With its help, you can determine whether a citizen has debts for gas supply. The number is assigned to a specific address.
Consumers need to pay for gas supply services on time.
This set of numbers is determined in four ways:
- Through direct contact with the gas supply company. Each such organization has a subscriber department. They keep records of consumers using the service. When contacting the department, a person can not only find out his personal gas bill. He receives information about tariffs and debts. There you can also reconcile previous payments. At the same time, the supplier of public resources is not responsible for disconnecting the apartment from the gas supply system if there is a proven fact of debt on the part of its owners.
- Through a clearinghouse. Each city has a single unit responsible for accepting payments. In a single center, a person can find out his personal account. There he will receive information about the amount of debt. Payment reconciliation is not carried out at one-stop centers.
- Through remote banking. This option is provided by most large banks. The user just needs to go to the website of the financial company, go to Internet banking, and then go to the “Housing and Public Utilities” tab. There you can get information about personal gas bills. Internet banking provides the opportunity to study the history of all payments. The data will be available only to a specific user.
- On the website of the gas supply company. After registering and filling out the fields, the user goes to his personal account. There he can track all charges and pay them. The user number is always displayed in your personal account. A person can reconcile their payments at any time.
In the subscriber department, the consumer receives information about tariffs and debts for gas supply services.
Internet services are more convenient ways to obtain information. They save people a lot of time.
How to find out the debt on a personal gas bill at the address
Consumers can check for debt in the following ways:
- in a service organization;

In the first option, the consumer must personally visit the gas supply company. He should contact its customer service department. A passport and housing documentation must be presented. Next, the company employee checks the debt using the visitor’s personal number. Payment of the debt is made through the organization's cash desk.
Consumers have the opportunity to check the debt through mail. When applying, you will need a personal number, as well as a receipt.
With this method of obtaining information, you have to stand in queues, which wastes time.

How to check payment for gas on a personal account
› › › Gas debts in most cases are formed through the fault of the consumer.
Sometimes this is influenced by insurmountable life situations, and a person, unwittingly, becomes a debtor. It’s worse when he deliberately refuses to pay. People and their reasons for not paying money for utilities vary, as do the ways to solve the problem.
Debt is formed when money is not deposited on a specified day, usually the 10th of each month. As soon as the payment date has expired, the person becomes a debtor, and the supplier company has the right to apply appropriate sanctions to him.
Sometimes a debt is formed in the absence of meters, when the amount is calculated according to standard tariffs. If residents have not been home for a long time, they will still receive a receipt with the specified amount.
There are several ways to check gas payments on your personal account. Traditional:
- mail.
- bank: terminals or operator;
To find out the debt for gas, such organizations are visited in person.
We recommend reading: Agreement on debt repayment between a legal entity and an individual
The management company provides a passport and documents for housing, at the post office and at the bank - a receipt and personal account. You don't have to leave the house to check for gas.
The following services will help with this:
- Websites that provide payment for housing and communal services.
- Management company hotline. You will need to provide your full name and residential address.
- Online banking. You will need the payer's number, the name of the gas supply organization and other information as required by the bank.
- "Government Services". You will need to first register or log in to the portal.
- Website of the company that provides gas. To quickly search, it is better to know the name of the organization.
The debt is repaid on a personal account using similar authorities and websites:
- sites for paying for housing and communal services.
- banks;
- website "State Services";
- mail;
- housing and communal services offices;
- Internet banking;
Payment methods practically do not differ from the options for obtaining reference information, so it is easy to find out the debt on a personal account or transfer meter readings to Gorgaz and pay it immediately.
Pros and cons of methods
Conventionally, all methods can be divided into two categories - the use of the Internet (special platforms and resources) and personal appearance at the organization (whether it is a management company, Gazprom, a bank). The advantages of the first group are obvious:
- minimizing travel time and waiting in line;
- simplicity of operations;
- expanded list of services within one resource;
- a large number of methods of action.
The disadvantage of using the network is that the method is not suitable for everyone, since not every person understands these nuances. As for visiting an organization in person, this method has the following advantages:
- the possibility of obtaining more detailed information about the account status than online;
- Personal communication with the operator will allow you to ask more questions.
The disadvantages are obvious - you need to get to the organization and stand in line, spending a lot of time on this.
Nuances
If you have paid off all your debts, and the management company claims that the debt for gas is obvious, you need to provide a receipt for payment. Perhaps there was a failure in the system and the latest changes in the database were not displayed, so it shows that the debt has not been repaid. Or you received subsidies (Article 159 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation), suggesting a reduction in the amount of payments for gas supply, but did not notify the management organization about this.
Then you need to bring evidence (certificates and certificates) of the fact that you belong to the category of beneficiaries. As a result, a recalculation will be made and the amount payable will change downward. In case of making excess payments, you can count on compensation in accordance with Art. 159, 160 Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

How to prevent debt for gas?
You can avoid gas debts, and it’s not difficult to do. The main thing is to pay bills on time. The simplest thing is to connect automatic payment for gas to your personal account. You can activate and, if necessary, disable this service in any online banking or on the official website of the company supplying natural gas. Some electronic payment systems (wallets) also provide a similar opportunity.
In case of financial difficulties, it is recommended to contact the company with a request for a deferred payment. A conscientious attitude to financial responsibilities will help you avoid a lot of problems.
