Go to vote in the Senate Bill 2040/03, which decreases the period in which companies may request proof of payment for services rendered. According to the project, this period is from five to two years, according to the Agency Board.

The authors of Mr Walter Pinheiro (PT-BA), the proposal came on the staff of the House in 2003, under the rationale that many businesses that provide basic services such as water, electricity, gas, power, sewage and telephony, calling vouchers to consumers for payment of services rendered many years later.

However, this request is often in agreement with Mr Pinheiro, motivated by the disorganization of the company.

Disorders
In the project, he says, "even when it is using the Consumer Defense Code, there is no irregularity of the business, but" disorganization. "Facing the obligation to keep receipts for so long, there are numerous disorders caused."

Thus, he says, "what is changing is the time for which the documents are saved in payments to suppliers and service providers."

The project was approved at last Thursday (12) by the Commission of Constitution and Justice of the House and there is no appeal, to follow the Senate.
