The remuneration of the private executor is collected from the debtor. Additional remuneration to the contractor can be paid by the claimant, if desired, based on the results of the work done.

No, you do not need to pay an advance fee to open enforcement proceedings.

The need to pay an advance fee may arise only during enforcement, if there is a need to finance specific costs - payment for property valuation services, services of other involved specialists, transportation, storage of property, etc. In this case, the advance payment paid by the recoverer is subject to return at the expense of the debtor.

A private executor is paid a reward for performing enforcement actions.

The remuneration of a private contractor consists of the main and additional.

The main remuneration of a private executor, depending on the enforcement actions to be performed in enforcement proceedings, is established as follows:

• fixed amount - in the case of execution of a decision of a non-property nature;
• percent of the amount to be recovered, or the value of the property to be transferred under the executive document.

The amount of the basic remuneration of a private contractor is established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The main remuneration of a private executor, set as a percentage, is charged from the debtor together with the amount to be recovered under the executive document (except for executive documents for the recovery of alimony). The main remuneration, set in the form of a fixed amount, is charged after the full execution of the decision.

An agreement between a private executor and a recoverer may provide for additional advance payment of the costs of enforcement proceedings and additional remuneration for a private executor.

Upon agreement with the recoverer, the additional remuneration of the private executor may be paid during the entire period of enforcement proceedings in whole or in part.

If earlier there was a period for independent execution of the decision - up to 7 days from the date of the decision, then the provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Enforcement Proceedings" do not provide for such a period. A private executor begins the enforcement of a decision from the moment the enforcement proceedings are opened.

A private executor accepts enforcement documents for execution at the place of residence, location, work of the debtor or at the location of the debtor's property.

The right to choose the place of opening of enforcement proceedings belongs to the recoverer.
