Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Center for the Collection of Fines, Fees and Expenses Law of 1995 and adds a duty on the collection body to inform debtors of their debts before starting collection proceedings. Contact with the debtor must be made by regular mail and also by at least two more of: registered mail, an online message (SMS or email), or a phone call. If the collection body did not succeed in making contact, it must turn to the registry to obtain the debtor's updated contact details. The goal is to prevent the accumulation of interest and accompanying fines on debtors who were not aware of their debts.
