Customers of BV Financeira throughout Brazil just won in court the right to return five charges as unfair. The 11th Civil Chamber of the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais (Minas Gerais Appeal Court) ordered the company to return the so-called "third-party service tariff", "contract registration fee", "assessment fare well" and "emission rate carnet (TEC) "for further contracts to April 2008, in addition to the" received service costs. "Collective consumption lawsuit was initially filed by the National Association for the Defense of Consumer Credit (Andec) and subsequently by the Mining Institute Social policies and Consumer Protection (Polisdec), with the support of Procon Legislative Assembly of Minas Gerais (ALMG).
The judgment, published on Tuesday (04.05.16), had as rapporteur federal judge Mariza de Melo Porto. While informing that the decision applies to all consumers who have paid the fees improperly, it determines that the benefit only involves the associated Polisdec. To eliminate this contradiction and universal conquest, the entity said it would again trigger the TJMG, requesting a correction of what it calls "material error".

According to the lawyer of Polisdec Lillian Salgado, fees and abusive charges agreed by banks and financial in vehicle financing agreements and loans amount to encumber the total amount of financing up to 28%.
