Sellers shirk responsibility for damage or theft to vehicles.
Law guarantees the right of the consumer, who must seek the Procon or Justice.

After shopping at a supermarket or shopping you find your car damaged, scratched or dented in the parking lot of the business premises. More than annoyance, is the case for Procon, because many shops and supermarkets warn that have no responsibility for damage or theft which have been caused to vehicles. But, by law, such notice is not worth. Other practices are also considered unfair.

Overzealous or the concern is unfounded? "Always look at the car for security. You only realize later,

when you leave the car at home. And see that this did not dent and is missing such a thing, "says the businessman Pedro dos Santos.

Iros Cirilo de Melo is a private driver and where to park in one, it is a ritual. "Where I usually put any object that is inside the trunk. Always look around to see if there is any risk or is missing something, especially when I leave the key for them to maneuver. Usually when this happens, they do not want to blame "he says.

In the parking lot of a supermarket, the message is clear: "We are not responsible for damage caused by cars. The notice says the proof that the responsibility does not include objects left inside the vehicle and accessories. But Procon St. Paul warns that these warnings do not have legal effect. "That board is totally invalid and void," says the executive director of Procon-SP, Roberto Pfeiffer.

They can be administered by a third party or be the actual place of business, no matter. When a person leaves the car to the care of a parking, paid or not, it signed a relationship of confidence and consumption. The least expected is that the car is returned in the same condition as when delivered.

When a risk or a grating that there is verified, the car owner can seek Procon or Justice. For that he must keep the ticket or ask for a receipt to confirm that the car was there. Record name and telephone number of witnesses and take pictures of the damage.

"The only question that does not solve the Procon is called moral damage, that damage caused by a strong abhorrence of the person or psychological harm to the person. In such cases, he has to seek the Small Claims Courts, "the executive director of Procon-SP, Roberto Pfeiffer.

Care increases the chances of not getting the injury, as did the driver Genivaldo Almeida, who left the car wash and ran out of the steppe. "When I went there, I was told to return four or five days later and told me that is missing tire. I let go, "he acknowledges.

If you are unable to resolve the problem with Procon, can look up the special courts. They serve free causes of up to 20 minimum wages. Above this level you need to seek a lawyer, and so many people quit complaining.
