Rapporteur states that minimum time requirement Account opening is arbitrary

Proposal lays down conditions for refusing checks - Disclosure

RIO - The Economic Development Commission, Industry and Commerce of the House of Representatives approved a proposal establishing conditions for refusing checks on establishments that already accept this payment. For the text, the check can only be refused if the consumer is not the holder or if the name registered in credit protection services, such as the Credit Protection System (SPC) and Serasa.

The measure provided for in Bill 2782/15 by Mr Vinicius Carvalho (PRB-SP), was approved by the rapporteur, Deputy Luiz Carlos Ramos (PMB-RJ). For Ramos, the goal is to curb arbitrariness in consumer relations, such as the requirement of minimum bank account time for acceptance of the check. He points out that such conduct is an abuse punishable by consumer protection agencies.

According to the text, the offender is subject to the same penalties set forth in consumer protection rules, ranging from fines to closure of the business.

The proposal is being analyzed conclusively by the committees and will be appreciated by the Consumer Protection; and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.
