The launch was for the commemoration of International Day of the Consumer in Boca Maldita in central Curitiba. The campaign will be developed by the body throughout the year.

"Spending plan, find prices, not to the household budget with funding that may lead to default, information about suppliers, products and services are basic points to be observed by the conscious consumer," emphasizes the Coordinator of Procon-PR.

In commemoration, the technical Procon attended from 9 to 17 hours, people circulating on site, with information and distribution of material with guidelines on the campaign.

In addition to the complaints and information in all areas, were provided information on portability and call on the new rules of SACS Service (Customer Service), with services to companies regulated by the federal government.

The average was 625 visits per day and telephony (fixed and mobile), was the matter with the greatest number of complaints. Second comes the following banks and financial, purchase of vehicles and credit card.
