Payment of MTS debt on a personal account: available methods

Is it worth paying off the debt right away?

Every person who has gone into the red is wondering whether they need to pay off the debt right away.
First, it is recommended to check whether there really is a debt. Sometimes it is attributed by mistake. It is necessary to check how the debt was formed: whether the account was replenished, whether additional services were connected. If a person is sure that the debt was formed legitimately, that is, this is not a fraud, it is necessary to top up the balance as soon as possible. Failure to repay the debt may result in sanctions from the operator. But in any case, only the subscriber himself decides whether it is worth paying off the debt immediately. Until a certain time, no one will force you to top up your account.

Is it necessary to pay the debt?

If you are not satisfied with the fact that you owe for something that is not clear, then in the MTS salon or contact center you can find out where the negative balance came from. In most cases, it turns out that these are charges for subscription fees for tariffs or various options. If this is the case, then the options are as follows:

• Write a complaint and do something with the number: block or change the tariff.
• Just forget it, which is highly not recommended, since SMS messages will continue to come to you annoyingly, or they may be passed on to collectors, then you can forget about a quiet life.

According to the same experts, in most cases it is possible to challenge a negative balance, since it turns out that the subscription fee was debited, but in fact the services were not used. Have you ever had similar cases when you received a debt and how did you solve the problem? We invite you to share this experience with everyone.

Methods for checking debt on MTS

In most cases, MTS does not allow its clients to go into the red. In this case, the debt can be considered the amount of the subscription fee according to the tariff.

To find out how much a person owes to the operator after using communication services, several verification methods are available. Regardless of which one is ultimately selected, the subscriber will receive complete information about the status of his account.

In your MTS personal account

This method of debt verification is especially popular in 2021. The fact is that a personal account is a service available via the Internet. It allows you not only to receive information about your account status, but also to manage services.

To find out the amount of debt you need:

All information about the debt is displayed in the “My Account” section. The amount that is marked “-” is a debt to the mobile operator. If a person has a tariff plan with a prepaid system, the amount of the monthly contribution can be found in the column with the name TP. It is also recommended to check the list of connected options in the minutes item of the same name, since it is often the connection of unnecessary subscriptions that leads to debt.

In the "My MTS" application

This application is another way to open a personal account. The functionality of the program is as wide as that of a full-fledged website. However, using the application is much more convenient if a person has a smartphone or tablet in his hands.

The debt is verified in several steps:

1. Download the application through the Play Market or through the AppStore.
2. Open the program.
3. Enter your number details and confirm entry with a one-time code.

Account status information is displayed on the main screen. You won't be able to get past it. If a person has debt, he will see a minus sign. You can find out about the amount of the subscription fee by opening additional information about your tariff.

To check your account status, you just need to dial *100# and press the call button. Up-to-date information will be immediately displayed on the phone screen or received via SMS within a minute.

By calling the call center

Some people still check their account by calling the call center. Most often this is due to the fact that the subscriber has poor vision and cannot perceive information visually. In this case, the voice notification will be much more informative.

If you need to find out information about a debt from a “living” person, then:

• you need to call the hotline at 8-800-250-08-90;
• in a conversation with the operator you will have to give your number and, possibly, the passport data through which the SIM card was issued.

The disadvantage of this method is the long waiting time. Sometimes an MTS employee will be ready to answer only after a few minutes.

All calls to the numbers provided are free. Money will not be debited from your personal account.

At the MTS office

If it was not possible to verify the amount of debt or a person thinks that the information provided is not valid, it is recommended to contact the company’s office. There are MTS representative offices in most Russian cities. You can find out the exact address and opening hours on the operator’s website.

To obtain information about your personal account, simply contact any office employee. In some cases, the provision of passport data is required.
