How to Request a Payment Schedule from a Private Bailiff?

If enforcement proceedings have been initiated against you and you cannot pay the debt in full immediately, you may submit a request to the private bailiff for a payment schedule.

When can you request a payment schedule?

You may request a payment schedule if:

• the debt amount is large;
• you cannot pay the full amount at once;
• you have regular income;
• you are not avoiding payment;
• you are ready to repay the debt in installments.

What documents should be attached?

It is recommended to attach:

• a written application;
• a copy of your ID;
• income certificate;
• bank account statement;
• documents confirming loans or other obligations;
• documents confirming family status or dependents.

What should the application include?

The application should include:

• enforcement case number;
• total debt amount;
• reason why immediate full payment is impossible;
• proposed monthly payment amount;
• proposed repayment period.

For example, the debtor may offer to pay 100,000 KZT per month.

Can the private bailiff refuse?

Yes. The bailiff may refuse if the proposed schedule violates the creditor’s rights or if the debtor does not prove financial ability to follow the schedule.

In such cases, the debtor may apply to court for postponement or installment payment of the court decision.

Will bank accounts remain blocked?

It depends on the case. Even if a payment schedule is agreed, some enforcement restrictions may remain until the debt is fully repaid.

Conclusion

To request a payment schedule, you should submit a written application to the private bailiff, attach supporting documents, and propose a realistic repayment plan.
