Rio - Who ends up becoming a microentrepreneurs individual (MEI) is likely to overpay for an account misleading. As small and medium entrepreneurs, they have received payment slips amounting to R$ 298.50 for membership in the Commercial and Industrial Association of Brazil (ACEB), an entity with no connection to those known to defend the interests of the class. The practice was condemned by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, which promises to trigger the federal police and federal prosecutors.
Before the docket with no expiration date and accurate description, the scene is carried out by entrepreneurs almost always the same. "I ran to pay it. Luckily, in line at the bank, I suspected when I read the document carefully, "says capixaba Francisco Oliveira, winner of the bill earlier this year, weeks after entering the MEI.
Already the Brazilian Paulo Vinicius not so lucky. "The billet inadvertently entered in respect of accounts and paid", says he, who then also asked to return the money, a guaranteed right in the Consumer Code. The request, however, was rejected.
He then tried to use a service that would be for members. "I was told I would have to pay. Then I concluded that they set up an entire circus to appear that are real. "
Microentrepreneur denounces fraud
Spokesman ACEB, Quirino Fabrizio explains that entrepreneurs' data are obtained in gazettes. He also ensured that an explanatory circular is sent along with the ticket, but that "may have been some printing error". Also ensured that the reversal of the payment is made when prompted: "The term 'contribution' described in billet makes clear is that it is optional. That is why the role of entrepreneur requires careful attention. " The ACEB existed since 2004 and, according to the organization today has 15 thousand members.
Since the beginning of the year, a small business owner who requested anonymity gathers information and reports on the conduct of ACEB. At least 30 complaints have already been harvested. "Let's put it all together, publish it and go with a representation in court. Can not they keep acting like this, "he says. The website address has already been registered (www.fraudeaceb.org).
