SAO PAULO - The advertisements for credit cards that are free to say confusing consumers, warns the Pro Test - Consumers' Association.

According to a research entity, there are several card offers no annual fee or free, but charge a maintenance or issuing bills, ranging from R$ 2.99 to R$ 3.95, resulting in a bill of up to R$ 47,40 per year.

Right to information

Also according to the Association, there are serious flaws in the way credit cards are announced, since the consumer has the right to information.

Many companies do not explain, for example, that there is recovery in terms of card usage and other costs not specify clearly to the consumer, so he is not surprised when the bill comes.

Another problem is the cards that offer many facilities, such as flexibility in payment, miles and gifts, which, according to the Pro Test, in some cases, end up being charged to the consumer.
