Parliament for pensioners is complaining to the MVM about prepayment deadlines, as newly received gas bills must be paid 5 days before the monthly pensions are transferred, The Guardian reports. RTL News.
It is clear from the checks in the report that the payment deadline was September 15, but this was changed to October 7, despite the transfer of pensions on only 12.
When asked by RTL, neither the MVM nor the government explained why the payment deadline had been changed.
At the same time, the company’s business regulations reveal that the payment is considered late from the day after the final payment date, and the user is obligated to pay interest for the late payment based on civil law. This is the central bank’s base rate in effect on the first day of the relevant semester, which is now 7.75 percent.
According to the retired parliament speaker, this situation is unresolvable for many. Mihaly Karaksoni fears that many people will have to auction off their valuables or take usurious loans because of this. He described this decision as irresponsible.
Retirees will experience mass unemployment, we will act aggressively against this and require the biller, the MVM, to retroactively change this practice
announced.
The National Association of Retired Persons talked about the fact that many people have contacted them about this problem.
